Purpose Alternating magnetic field (AMF) tissue interaction models are generally not validated. Our aim was to develop and validate a coupled electromagnetic thermal model for estimating temperatures in large organs during nanoparticle hyperthermia (MNH).Materials methods Coupled finite element validation performed by comparing the results experimental data obtained from measured homogeneous ag...

Introduction: Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) is a new technique for cancer investigations. The application of this to screen the breast would result in contrast improvement different lesions. This can be effectively ensured by use phantoms. Computational phantoms are one ways investigate characteristics received image and thus evaluate whole technique. Aim: aim study validate ana...

We present a framework for hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis validation, specifically abundance fraction estimation based on HSI measurements of water soluble dye mixtures printed on microarray chips. In our work we focus on the performance of two algorithms, the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and the Spatial LASSO (SPLASSO). The LASSO is a well known statistical metho...

A function has been developed that will fit counting efficiency to chest wall thickness, adipose content of the chest wall, and photon energy. The adipose content of the chest wall is removed as a variable by use of the derived quantity: muscle equivalent chest wall thickness. The function has been tested on experimental data sets obtained from the LLNL and JAERI torso phantoms using a variety ...

This paper describes a new image watermarking method for which is suitable for both copyright protection and information hiding. The presented method is based upon the morphological mathematics properties of the Mojette Transform[1,2] and the Mojette Phantoms[3]. The main properties of the Mojette transform are briefly introduced and the concept of linked phantoms which depicts the null space o...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the mean glandular dose with a solid state detector and the image quality in a direct radiography system, utilizing phantoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Irradiations were performed with automatic exposure control and polymethyl methacrylate slabs with different thicknesses to calculate glandular dose values. The image quality was evaluated by means of the structures visualize...

A ten-month study is presented of materials for use in heterogeneous elastography phantoms. The materials consist of gelatin with or without a suspension of microscopic safflower oil droplets. The highest volume percent of oil in the materials is 50%. Thimerosal acts as a preservative. The greater the safflower oil concentration, the lower the Young's modulus. Elastographic data for heterogeneo...

Introduction: Clusters of calcium oxalate (CaOX) and hydroxyapatite (CaHA) crystals are generally associated with benign and malignant breast lesions, respectively. Such microcalcifications (microcalcs) are useful radiological indicators of early-stage, breast carcinoma. This study tests the detectability of these microcalcs by MRI, compared to conventional x-ray imaging methods, for potential ...

Low frequency drift (0.0-0.015 Hz) has often been reported in time series fMRI data. This drift has often been attributed to physiological noise or subject motion, but no studies have been done to test this assumption. Time series T*2-weighted volumes were acquired on two clinical 1.5 T MRI systems using spiral and EPI readout gradients from cadavers, a normal volunteer, and nonhomogeneous and ...
