Evaluation of Handheld Radionuclide Identifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Characterization of commercially available instruments for measurement and identification of unknown radionuclides was carried out in support of the development and testing of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard, N42.34, "Performance Criteria for Hand-held Instruments for the Detection and Identification of Radionuclides." Measurements were based on the performance of the devices, i.e., the capability of the detectors to ensure a correct radionuclide identification in a given time interval for various radioactive sources.

We introduce a handheld single-fiber laser-scanning confocal microscope, incorporating a high-reflectivity two-axis silicon vertical combdrive microscanner, aimed at in vivo early detection of epithelial precancers. The approach adopted is motivated by need for a portable, economical, biopsy-free, early precancer screening technology in low-infrastructure environments. Our microelectromechanica...
متن کاملTorque Removal Evaluation of Screw in One-Piece and Two-Piece Abutments Tightened with a Handheld screwdriver
Introduction: Some clinicians use a handheld screw driver instead of a torque wrench to definitively tighten abutment screws. The aim of this study was to compare the removal torque of one-piece and two-piece abutments tightened with a handheld driver and a torque control ratchet. Methods: 40 ITI implants were placed in acrylic blocks and divided into 4 groups. In groups one and two, 10 ITI one...

Identifier resolution is presented as a way to link the physical world with virtual applications and services. In this paradigm, designed to support nomadic users, the user employs a handheld, wirelessly connected, sensor-equipped device to read identifiers associated with physical entities. The identifiers are resolved into virtual resources or actions related to the physical entities. We have...

متن کاملDetection of peritoneal pseudocyst following ventriculo-peritoneal shunt by radionuclide method [Persian]
A 14 years old boy who had a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt since the age of 5 months, was hospitalized due to headaches, nausea, vomiting and abdominal distension. In abdominal CT and sonographic evaluation, pancreatic pseudocyst or mesentric cyst were suspected. Evaluation of the shunt by radionuclide, however, was diagnostic and revealed a pseudocyst at the peritoneal end of the shunt. Th...
