Deadtime Measurements with a Multihole Phantom : Concise Communication

Consistency of T1ρ Measurements: A Phantom Study

Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the primary standard for visualization of cartilage defects and overall assessment of cartilage morphology. As the initial stages of osteoarthritis (OA) arise from biochemical changes at the tissue level such as proteoglycan (PG) loss, the standard contrast mechanisms acquired as part of routine clinical MRI protocols are not typically sens...

An operator-independent method for background subtraction in adrenal-uptake measurements: concise communication.

A new computer program for adrenal-uptake measurements is presented in which the algorithm identifies the adrenal and background regions automatically after being given a starting point in the image. Adrenal uptakes and results of reproducibility tests are given for patients injected with [131I] 6beta-iodomethyl-19-norcholesterol. The data to date indicate no overlap in the percent-of-dose upta...

بیشتر تحقیقات پیشین در زمینه تمایل به برقراری ارتباط به رابطه آن با عوامل فردی چون سن، جنس، نوع شخصیت و... صورت گرفته است. در صورتی که مطالعات کمتری به بررسی رابطه تمایل به برقراری ارتباط زبان آموزان فارسی زبان با ترس از برقراری ارتباط و توانش خود ادراکانه آنها در برقراری ارتباط در محیط فارسی و انگلیسی انجام شده است. بر اساس نظریه الیس (2008) تمایل به برقراری ارتباط جایگاه مهمی در زمینه آموزش م...

Off-axis primary-dose measurements using a mini-phantom.

The characterization of the incident photon beam is usually divided into its dependence on collimator setting (head-scatter factor) and off-axis position (primary off-axis ratio). These parameters are normally measured "in air" with a build-up cap thick enough to generate full dose build-up at the depth of dose maximum. In order to prevent any influence from contaminating electrons, it has been...
