Technical Note : Characterization of a static thermal - gradient CCN counter
The static (parallel-plate thermal-gradient) diffusion chamber (SDC) was one of the first instruments designed to measure cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations as a function of supersaturation. It has probably also been the most widely used type of CCN counter. This paper describes the detailed experimental characterization of a SDC CCN counter, including calibration with respect to su...
متن کاملCharacterization, prediction, and correction of geometric distortion in 3 T MR images.
The work presented herein describes our methods and results for predicting, measuring and correcting geometric distortions in a 3 T clinical magnetic resonance (MR) scanner for the purpose of image guidance in radiation treatment planning. Geometric inaccuracies due to both inhomogeneities in the background field and nonlinearities in the applied gradients were easily visualized on the MR image...
متن کاملA complete distortion correction for MR images: I. Gradient warp correction.
MR images are known to be distorted because of both gradient nonlinearity and imperfections in the B0 field, the latter caused either by an imperfect shim or sample-induced distortions. This paper describes in detail a method for correcting the gradient warp distortion, based on a direct field mapping using a custom-built phantom with three orthogonal grids of fluid-filled rods. The key advance...
متن کاملGeneralized Interpolation applied to MR Image Magnification and Gradient Nonlinearity Correction
ii Preface Post processing of magnetic resonance (MR) images generally make use of cubic interpolation to estimate values off of the Cartesian grid, as it does not suffer from the artifacts caused by linear and nearest neighbor interpolation yet is not as computationally expensive as sinc interpolation. In this thesis, we look to investigate whether recent advances in generalized interpolation ...
متن کاملSoftware Development for Correction of Gradient-nonlinearity Distortions in Mr Images
A new system for functional proton radiosurgery has been proposed. The goal of the system is to target specific brain areas with high doses of proton beams with submillimeter accuracy. High-energy proton beams have exquisitely sharp lateral penumbra and are, therefore, ideal for functional radiosurgery. Localizing the anatomical target with an MRI-based fiducial system requires correction of gr...
