passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
Quantification Issues in Bolus-Tracking Perfusion MRI
Bolus-tracking perfusion MRI is based on the monitoring of the first passage of a bolus of contrast agent through the brain tissue and a brain-feeding artery. The contrast agent is injected rapidly in the antecubital vein in the patients arm by means of an MR-compatible power injector. This bolus of contrast agent is pushed in the direction of the heart by means of a saline flush. Continuous dy...
متن کاملActive Contours for Bolus Tracking in X-Ray Images Sequences
This paper describes a tracking method that we have developed in order to track a barium bolus in radiological images sequences. Our method combines both region tracking by the means of a deformable region model, and contour tracking by the means of active contours. It allows the tracking of a barium bolus during its descent along the oesophagus and the lower oesophageal sphincter. Thus, we are...
متن کاملFast temperature measurement using a 2DRF pulse enables both reduced-FOV imaging and fat suppression
Fig.4: Temperature changes of a cheese phantom at the hottest voxel during FUS heating experiments. While measurements using GE fast gradient-echo sequence are echo time-dependent (a), the measurements using 2DRF pulse for fat suppression are very similar (b). With excitation pattern of Fig.2d, both fat suppression and 2D excitation were achieved, resulting in improvement in temporal resolution...
متن کاملCerebral perfusion imaging by bolus tracking.
Cerebral perfusion may be visualized by the dynamic imaging of an intravenously injected bolus (a few milliliters) of clinically approved gadolinium-containing contrast media. During its passage through the vasculature of the brain, the contrast agent induces magnetic field disturbances, which can be seen as signal loss on appropriately weighted dynamic MRI. This article deals with the quantita...
