UNLABELLED Head motion is difficult to avoid in long PET studies, degrading the image quality and offsetting the benefit of using a high-resolution scanner. As a potential solution in an integrated MR-PET scanner, the simultaneously acquired MRI data can be used for motion tracking. In this work, a novel algorithm for data processing and rigid-body motion correction (MC) for the MRI-compatible ...

O estudo de Trattinnickia burserifolia levou ao isolamento dos triterpenos conhecidos ursanos α-amirenona, α-amirina, 3-epi-α-amirina, 3α,16β-diidroxiurs-12-eno; oleananos β-amirenona, βamirina, 3-epi-β-amirina, 3α,16β-diidroxiolean-12-eno; tirucalanos ácidos 3α-hidroxitirucal-8,24dien-21-óico, 3α-hidroxitirucal-7,24-dien-21-óico, e 3-oxotirucal-8,24-dien-21-óico; damaranos dammarenediol-II e 3...

This document describes a framework for preparing Unicode text strings in order to increase the likelihood that string input and string comparison work in ways that make sense for typical users throughout the world. The stringprep protocol is useful for protocol identifier values, company and personal names, internationalized domain names, and other text strings. This document does not specify ...

A high sensitivity, high resolution brain PET scanner has been developed. The scanner comprises 58 rows of 320 4 x 4 x I O mm3 gadolinium orthosilicate (GSO) crystals, coupled to a continuous light guide that is sampled by 288 39-mm photomultiplier tubes in a hexagonal grid. A distortion removal algorithm has been developed to remove position non-linearities and to identify individual crystal r...

introduction: in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, dosimetric studies are performed on the dosimetric systems in order to comply the radiation safety standards. monte carlo methods are used due to the high complexity and cost of patient-specific phantom construction. the high complexity of the digitized phantoms greatly increases the time and computational task of the monte carlo calculati...
