Aim: Few nuclear cardiology surveys were published in the literature, mostly from developed countries. The aim of this study is to perform a nuclear cardiology survey in Iran. This may lead to better decision making and programming. Methods and Materials: A questionnaire was sent by mail or e-mail to all nuclear medicine centers in Iran asking for details of nuclear cardiology practice in...

the industrial growth of any developing country largely depends on the availability of abundant energy resources. according to the energy survey carried out by international atomic energy agency, (1) the contribution which nuclear energy will make towards the total energy requirements of the developed countries of the world by the end of the century will be about 50%. in iran by the year 1992 t...

background: so far, non-invasive diagnostic approaches such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or blood tests do not have sufficient diagnostic power for endometriosis disease. lack of a non-invasive diagnostic test contributes to the long delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis of endometriosis. objective: the present study focuses on the identification of predictive biomarkers i...

the present nuclear leakage crisis from japan is a topic to be discussed in present public health. in radiology, the leaked radioactive elements are considered hazard. here, the author briefly reviews and discusses on two important radio-hazard elements in post nuclear power plant crisis, radioactive iodine and radioactive cesium. based on previous similar nuclear crisis in russia, it is eviden...

This paper describes a framework and tools for automating the production of designs that can be partially recon gured at run time. The approach involves several stages, including: (i) a partial evaluation stage, which produces con guration les for a given design, where the number of con gurations are minimised during the compile-time sequencing stage; (ii) an incremental con guration calculatio...

By S. TEJUJA Reproductive Biology Research Unit Department of Physiology All-India Institute of Medical Science, New Delhi. The increasing use of the intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) as a method family planninghas demonstrated its popularity not only in India but also in other countries throughout theworld. This has, in its turn simulated considerable research on its biological effects ...

PET (positron emission tomography) is a powerful imaging technique that can provide quantitative information on the distribution of positron emitter labeled radiopharmaceuticals (PET radiopharmaceuticals) in the body. Positrons (ß+) are positively charged beta particles. They are emitted when the atom is proton rich. A positron has only a transient existence. After losing all of its kinetic ene...
