Introduction: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of grid and non-grid techniques in the lateral cervical spine radiography on image quality and entrance surface dose (ESD). Although image quality and radiation doses have been studied by researchers, there is still a dearth of information on image quality and patient dose with different techniques. Material and Methods: The...

PURPOSE To compare stromal riboflavin absorption after 20% alcohol application and partial or complete epithelial removal by analyzing light transmission properties of porcine corneas after riboflavin/ultraviolet A (UVA) corneal collagen cross-linking. METHODS Riboflavin 0.13% eye drops were applied to 18 porcine eyes (6 in which 20% alcohol solution had been applied for 40 seconds, 6 eyes wi...

in this paper, photovoltaic (pv) grid-connected inverter which is the core device in pv grid-connected system has been in depth research.an improved predictive current controller has been developed by the authors for single-phase grid-connected voltage source inverters (vsi).based on dsp tms320lf2407a, a 10 kw single-phase grid-connected inverter has been built in this paper.thus is aimed at us...

European Institute for Molecular Imaging (EIMI) – University of Muenster, Germany MR imaging suffers from geometric distortion caused by gradient nonlinearities at the edges of the gradients in large Field-of-Views (FOV). Therefore, the fusion of PET and MR data can be deficient. This can be an important aspect in whole-body imaging as well as for volumetric measurements. In this work a marker-...

PURPOSE Three-dimensional (3D) computer-automated threshold Amsler grid testing was used to identify and characterize scotomas typical of glaucoma. METHODS The 3D test exhibits a grid on a computer screen at a preselected grayscale and angular resolution, and allows patients to trace those areas on the grid that are missing in their visual field using a touch screen. Eleven eyes in patients w...
