objective: iqspect is an advanced high-speed spect modality for performing myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi), which uses a multi-focus fan beam collimator with resolution recovery reconstruction. the aim of this study was to compare iqspect compared with conventional spect interms of performance based on standard clinical protocols. in addition, we examined the concordance between conventional...

introduction: although pet scanning using f-18[fdg] is considered the superior radiotracer for tumnor imaging, gallium-67 is still in use for some malignancies such as lymphoma and hepatoma. one of the strategies to improve the diagnostic accuracy of gallium is to perform spect which is reported to be more sensitive compared to planar imaging. in this study we compared the sensitivity of spect ...

use of leasing is one of main methods for modern companies and commercial unities to finance. leasing industry is scion in iran and requires pass of particular regulation for full of its legal gaps. present contract of iranian leasing companies is the simple hire-purchase. hire-purchase is a new topic that cause of today requirements at recent years, has been entered into legal arena. this meth...

Abstract The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the recruitment process is becoming a more common method for organisations to hire new employees. Despite this, there little consensus on whether AI should have widespread hiring process, and which contexts. In order bring clarity research findings, we propose HIRE (Human, (Artificial) Intelligence, Recruitment, Evaluation) framework with prim...

Introduction: We have investigated cardiac SPECT with slant hole collimator in which the holes are slanted towards the target organ, to provide greater sensitivity over the parallel hole collimator. In addition, parallel hole collimator was used to obtain a comparison in FWHM, sensitivity, Compton and photoelectric area values in the simulations. Materials and Methods...

This paper analyzes whether it might be desir~ble for a firm to hire an overoptimistic manager to commit to a certain R&D strategy. I consider a Cournot model with an ex-ante R&D stage where firms can invest in cost reduction before product market competition takes place. I show that firms want to hire overoptimistic managers and argue that a manager's type may serve as a substitute for strateg...

The business people have not been exposed to all of this legal terminology. You tell them 'mentally ill' and their word, and I'm going to say it in Spanish, is 'loco', crazy. 'We don't hire a loco. We don't hire a crazy person.' Any kind-it doesn't matter if it is a manic-depressive-the word there is loco. 'We've got a loco crazy working with us.' It is sad but that is the way it is.

Study Design Surgeon survey. Objective To evaluate the reliability of bone single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) versus bone SPECT images co-registered with computed tomography (bone SPECT-CT) by analyzing interobserver agreement for identification of the anatomical location of technetium(99m)-labeled oxidronate uptake in the lumbar disk and/or facet joint. Methods Seven spine surg...
