Iterative reconstruction (IR) methods have recently re-emerged in transmission x-ray computed tomography (CT). They were successfully used in the early years of CT, but given up when the amount of measured data increased because of the higher computational demands of IR compared to analytical methods. The availability of large computational capacities in normal workstations and the ongoing effo...

Ways of exploiting the raw performance of GPUs for computing ray tracing have been a hot research topic recently. Performance similar to the multi-core CPU ray tracing engines has been achieved. In this paper we present a new traversal method created by combining two of the existing methods. The proposed method is less sensitive to performance loss due to certain object scene distribution. It c...

In diagnostic radiology, the excellence of the conventional radiographic screen-film combination as a means of detecting and displaying the X-ray pattern (the radiation image) is qualified by its inability to show movement. The technique of fluoroscopy, in which the light image on the fluorescent screen is viewed by the dark-adapted but otherwise unaided eye, has long been employed in an attemp...

Coal with low ash content has an important role in the coal and steel industry. There are different methods to measure the ash content. The conventional method which is used in most coal mines of Iran, is to burn the coal and measure the remaining ash. A new method has been recently developed at Nuclear Research Center (NRC) of Iran, Which works on the basis of the absorption of the dual en...

background: hydrogen peroxide (h2o2), produced by gamma ray irradiation to watery solution, was used as an analytical parameter for dosimetry of cobalt-60 (60co) radiation. materials and methods: detection of the produced h2o2 was carried out using two methods: an amperometric biosensor fabricated by immobilization of anthraquinone 2-carboxylic acid modified horseradish peroxidase on glassy car...

The aim of this research is to investigate different X-ray based quantitative phase analysis methods for determination of cristobalite phase content in ceramic cores. For this purpose, four popular routes including peak absolute intensity method, relative intensity ratio method, direct or calibration method and internal standard (or Alexander-Klug) method have been chosen. Some control samples ...
