Ultrasonic Imaging and Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation of the Hearts of Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cross fertilization between the quantitative nondestructive evaluation (QNDE) community and the diagnostic medicine community in the area of ultrasonics represents an attractive but challengin~ goal. High resolution, real-time ultrasonic imaging is routinely available not only in major medical centers but even in modest community hospitals. However, quantitative ultrasonic evaluation based on the physics of the interaction of ultrasound with tissue (often described by the term tissue characterization) is relatively limited in comparison with the rather sophisticated approaches developed for QNDE.

A fuzzy approach to the evaluation of human factors in ultrasonic nondestructive examinations
Human factors are among the main elements affecting the reliability of nondestructive examinations (NDE). In a man-machine system, human reliability is affected by many factors (performance shaping factors) whose influence on reliability cannot be easily expressed quantitatively. This paper identifies and ranks 59 perform-ance shaping factors by using a fuzzy reasoning method and proposes a pro...
متن کاملUsing the Ultrasonic Nondestructive Methods for Prediction of Mechanical Properties of AISI 4140 Alloy Steel
Achieving the mechanical properties of steels after various manufacturing and heat treatment processes is significant and essential. In production lines, after producing the specific and standard samples, mechanical properties have been measured by destructive processes which cause waste of cost and time. In addition, destructive techniques cannot detect the miniscule changes made in mechanical...

The principles of Ultrasonic Computed Tomography (UCT) are reviewed in this paper. The UCT is a powerful nondestructive technique in medicine and recently in industry to reveal an image of a slice of an object or body. The advantage of UCT over other conventional techniques in imaging is that a computed tomogram yields quantitative information about the section of interest. Experimental works o...
