INTRODUCTION: Finite element (FE) models for predicting proximal femoral fracture load are useful for research related to the prevention of hip fracture. CT scan-based non-linear FE models have been shown to predict proximal femoral fracture load precisely in vitro. However, if these models are to be used in vivo, we need to know the effect of using CT scan data obtained in situ instead of in v...

Designing a scannable circuit is typically a two-step process. The circuit is first designed to meet the functional specifications, without taking the scan path into consideration. The circuit is then analyzed, and the scan path is inserted based on this analysis. When the scan path is considered during the synthesis of a circuit rather than after the synthesis, the overhead due to the scan pat...

Introduction: Today different uses of multileaf collimators(MLC) in different techniques of radiotherapy are common. Due to the use of this facility it is possible to have maximum radiation dose to target volumes and minimum radiation dose to critical tissues surronding treatment volumes. But there are numerouse Linear accelerators in IRAN without MLC. Because of high price of...

Direct-injection electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in combination with information-dependent data acquisition (IDA), using a triple-quadrupole/linear ion trap combination, allows high-throughput qualitative analysis of complex phospholipid species from child whole blood. In the IDA experiments, scans to detect specific head groups (precursor ion or neutral loss scans) were used as surve...

An ultrafast frequency domain optical coherence tomography system was developed at A-scan rates between 2.5 and 10 MHz, a B-scan rate of 4 or 8 kHz, and volume-rates between 12 and 41 volumes/second. In the case of the worst duty ratio of 10%, the averaged A-scan rate was 1 MHz. Two optical demultiplexers at a center wavelength of 1310 nm were used for linear-k spectral dispersion and simultane...

A conceptually simple method for linac tuning has been tested on the 200 MeV drift-tube linear accelerator at Fermilab. The phase of a beam-induced signal in a stripline detector is measured as tank phase is scanned over approximately 360 degrees. The stripline detector is downstream of the tuned tank. The resulting phase-scan curves have unique signatures that depend upon only a few critical p...

trauma is the most common reason in 1-34 years olds. in patient with multiple traumas, the head is the most common involved part. the importance of computed tomography (ct scan) in diagnosis of brain trauma is well established and ct of the brain is a choice method. finding lesion in brain traumatic patient is very important so goal of this study is finding of brain ct scan in traumatic patient...

this paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).

background: positron emission tomography (pet) scan is a non-invasive, complicated and expensive medical imaging technology used for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases including cancers. this study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this technology in iran. methods: the major medical electronic databases including cochrane library, google scholar, medline and iranmedex w...
