To proceed with the decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, it is necessary to visualize radioactive substances using a gamma camera in high-dose-rate regions inside nuclear reactor building. We developed an umbrella-shaped Compton camera, whose sensitivity distribution can be adjusted by changing its shape. When used on robot, moving distance robot reduced compared pinhole ...

We have developed a miniature (1.2 cm2) beta-ray camera prototype to assist a surgeon in locating and removing the margins of a resected tumor. When imaging positron emitting radiopharmaceuticals, annihilation gamma ray interactions in the detector can mimic those of the betas. The extent of the background contamination depends on the detector, geometry and tumor specificity of the radiopharmac...

Dear Editor Standardization of photography in plastic surgery is fundamental for pre-operative surgical planning, comparative post-operative assessment, and demonstration of surgical results. In rhinoplasty, slight changes in patient or camera position can lessen nasal hump, vary nose size, and alter skin tension. In order to prevent these common errors, photographic standardization with highqu...
