Introduction: The image quality of computed tomography (CT) can be seriously lowered by metal implants of patients. These implants are known to exert a significant impact on diagnostic accuracy due to artifacts. The current study aimed to assess the usefulness of Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR) software in the reduction of metal artifacts, in comparison to iterative rec...

Abstract New N2O2 type Schiff base has been designed and synthesized by condensing 2,4 dihydroxy benzaldehyde and α-naphthylamine in ethanol. Solid metal complexes of the schiff base with Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) metal ion were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, IR, UV-Vis and ‘H NMR spectral studies. The data shows that the c...

The present research was designed to examine how the presence or absence of ambient light influences the appearance of metal. The stimuli depicted three possible objects that were illuminated by three possible patterns of illumination. These were generated by a single point light source, two rectangular area lights, or projecting light onto a translucent white box that contained the object (and...

Metal chelates, [M(HL)2(H2O)2]X2 (where M= Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) or Zn(II), X= NO3–or Cl– and HL= Schiff base moiety), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic and spectroscopic measurements (infrared, X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy). Elemental analysis of the metal complexes was suggested that the stoichiometry is 1:2 (metal-ligan...

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the effects of metal primer on the shear bond strength of denture base resin to base metal alloy after electrolytic and laser etching. Materials and Methods: A total of 48 cobalt‐chromium (Co‐Cr) alloy specimens were fabricated. The specimens were divided into 6 groups of 8 specimens each. Group I: Sandblasting (control group). G...

A new Schiff base has been synthesized from 3-(3-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4carbaldehyde and O-amino phenol. Metal complexes of the Schiff base have been synthesized from acetate salt of Cu (II), Co (II) and Ni (II) metal in the alcoholic medium. The newly prepared Schiff base ligand and metal complexes have been characterized by various physicochemical techniques such as Elemental anal...
