In order to vertify the feasibility of the near-infrared to detect the veterinary drug in honey, studying the impact of different background correction methods for linear modeling and nonlinear modeling. Use PLSR to establish the linear model between near-infrared spectroscopy and to be measured, and LSSVR to establish the nonlinear model between near-infrared spectroscopy and to be measured. A...

Detection of gamma rays which Compton scatter within a patient but are still within the photopeak window of the Anger camera leads to inaccuracies in quantification of radioactivity from nuclear-medicine images. With the dual-energy-window correction method and a single (universal) scatter multiplier, the activity error is relatively large when there is tissue background with a large range of v...

Thank you very much for publishing our manuscript entitled: "Quantification and comparison of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase with two methods in normal and paget's specimens" in the latest issue of the journal (Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine, Summer 2012 3(3):478-483). Unfortunately, we noticed the mistake in the date of our study after its publication in your latest revised manuscrip...

PURPOSE Volume flow rate (VFR) measurements based on phase contrast (PC)-magnetic resonance (MR) imaging datasets have spatially varying bias due to eddy current induced phase errors. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of phase errors in time averaged PC-MR imaging of the cerebral vasculature and explore the effects of three common correction schemes (local bias correction (LBC)...

Background: Estimating dosimetric parameters for small fields under non-reference conditions leads to significant errors if done based on conventional protocols used for large fields in reference conditions. Hence, further correction factors have been introduced to take into account the influence of spectral quality changes when various detectors are used in non-reference conditions at differen...

 Abstract Background: Correction of severe kyphosis is a challenging operation in spinal surgery. A two stage operation has been commonly used: anterior release and decompression followed by posterior correction and fusion. We describe the posterior vertebral osteotomy technique for correction of severe and rigid kyphosis through posterior-only approach. Methods: Twelve patients (six male and s...

We present a new CTE photometric correction formula based on observation of 47Tuc obtained during Cycles 17, 18 and 19. Images were taken with two filters and different exposure times, in order to sample a wide range of background levels. In addition, the Cycle 19 program included imaging of a denser field near the center of 47Tuc with the F502N filter. Thanks to the increased number of stars a...
