Technological advances in teleradiology.

Teleradiology consists of a set of added-value telematic services, implemented over an advanced telecommunications infrastructure and supported by different information technologies and related applications. The main goal of teleradiology is to provide different levels of support for remote diagnostic imaging procedures. This paper considers technological advances in this important area, includ...

Mid-infrared Microspectroscopy of Difficult Samples Using Near-Field Photothermal Microspectroscopy

www.spectroscopyonl ine.com espite recent advances in Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) microspectroscopy and micro-attenuated total reflectance (ATR), for many types of samples there remains a need for even higher spatial resolution, or for a nondestructive method of recording localized mid-IR spectra from asreceived samples without the risk of damage or alteration by preparation techniques. ...

Metal-insulator transition in the low-dimensional organic conductor (TMTSF)2FSO3 probed by infrared microspectroscopy

We present measurements of the infrared response of the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductor (TMTSF)2FSO3 along (E‖a) and perpendicular (E‖b ′) to the stacking axis as a function of temperature. Above the metal-insulator transition related to the anion ordering the optical conductivity spectra show a Drude-like response. Below the transition an energy gap of about 1500 cm (185 meV) opens, le...
