چکیده

camera, and x-ray tube (partially hidden below table), attached to a floor-mounted parallelogram gantry to allow complex angulation; (2) lateral plane image chain attached to a ceiling-suspended gantry that can be moved into place when biplane imaging is desired; (3) and (4) television monitors for AP and lateral image chains; (5) movable radiation shield to protect operators from scatter dose to eyes and thyroid; (6) physiologic pressure recorder located behind lead-glass window to protect the cardiovascular technician from scatter radiation; (7) remote display of physiologic data; (8) power injector for contrast delivery during ventriculography; (9) emergency cart containing defibrillator, airway management, and drug supplies; and (10) patient support table with (c) control box for table and gantry movement, magnification mode, and beam-restricting “cones” and (j) junction box for connection of pressure transducers to physiologic recorder. The generator and image chain electronics are concealed behind the louvered doors seen along the right wall of the room. 2

Recent Advances in PET-MR Hybrid contrast agent

Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...

Systematic review: Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide nanoparticles as contrast agents in diagnosis of multiple sclerosis

Several MRI contrast agents (CAs) are used in medical diagnosis that gadolinium (Gd3+) is the most widely used as contrast agents. Unfortunately, its toxicity is due to its inefficiency. In this review, we discuss about the ability of SPIONs in MRI and application in Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) such as magnetite nanoparticles are used as goo...

Investigation of acoustic properties of silica coated gold nanoparticle as contrast agent for Ultrasonography

Interoduction: Ultrasound images have often low contrast due to small differences in acoustic impedance between different tissues. Air or gas microbubbles that surrounded by membrane are most of the contrast agents in ultrasound imaging. Problems such as instability in sound pressure and inability in penetrating from the blood vessel into body tissues limited the use of microbubbles into the in...

Impact of contrast agents on dose algorıthms of planning systems

Background: Use of contrast agents (CAs) during CT simulation for treatment planing system leads to changes in  electron density. In this study we aimed to investigate the effect on  calculated dose of various concentrations of CAs on treatment planing systems in different dose calculation algorithms. Materials and Methods: Contrast agent (0.769 mg/ml Iopromid) - water mixtures at con...
