Safety Considerations on MRI Systems for Firefighters and Paramedics

Background and Objectives: The use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems is on the rise and the number of installed systems is constantly increasing all over the world. This raises the possibility for emergency personnel to get in contact with these systems. However, the clothing and working material of paramedics and firefighters is not designed for the use on magnets. M...

mRNA quantitation techniques: considerations for experimental design and application.

Studies of the regulation of gene expression rely upon techniques for the identification and quantitation of mRNA species coding for specific proteins. Several methods have been developed for this purpose, each offering distinct advantages and disadvantages. Rather than provide a comprehensive review of the current mRNA quantitation techniques, it is the intention of this article to discuss thr...

Design and Construction of an Affordable Phantom for Electron Density Measurement and Linearity Tests of Computed Tomography Systems

Introduction: The performance of computed tomography is routinely checked using phantoms, which are known as important diagnostic imaging tools. Depending upon the aim of the study, different phantoms are designed, while trying to satisfy certain levels of diversities in their application. Material and Methods: The present study describes the...

Design and Construction of an Electromagetic Supension System for Vehicles

This paper introduces a novel passive suspension system for ground vehicles. This system is based on a flexible Electromagnetic Shock Absorber (EMSA). In the proposed system, efforts are made to a) select a high damping coefficient usable in a car b) determine Physical dimensions and geometry not much different from those of the mechanical shock absorbers and c) seletct EMSA weight and volume l...
