background: the purpose of this study was to find the accurate absorbed dose in the femur bone marrow during the x-ray radiography for constant mas and aec techniques. materials and methods: the dosxyznrc was used to simulate radiation doses in two human femurs during diagnostic radiography. egsnrc phantoms produced from actual ct images of human femurs were modified by adding seven micrometre ...

background coronary artery anomalies are not common, but could be very serious. objectives this study determines the frequency of coronary anomalies and normal variants by multi-detector-row computed tomography (mdct). patients and methods the results of cardiac mdct study in 2697 consecutive patients were analyzed retrospectively. acquisition was performed by a 64-detector row ct machine. imag...

coronary heart disease has been one of the main threats of human health. coronary angiography is taken as the “gold standard” for the assessment of coronary artery disease. but sometimes, the images are difficult to interpret visually because of the crossing and overlapping of the vessels in the angiograms. vessel extraction from x-ray angiograms has been a challenging problem for several years...

Objective(S): The dangerous effects of X-ray have been elucidated by scientific studies in occupational health hygiene.  X-ray protective like an apron, thyroid shield and gloves have been made of lead (Pb) to protect against X-ray. However, such equipment makes a lot of safety and health problems such as toxicity, weight, inflexibility and troubles usage in a physician. To ove...

Background: Medical x-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. It is important to avoid conditions where the amount of radiation used is more than that needed for the procedure. Materials and Methods: The Entrance Skin Exposure (ESE) measurement was conducted for quality control of x-ray machines and survey of operator’s experimental techniques. The ESEs we...

A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
