Synthesis and characterization of Gd2O2 S: Tb3+ phosphor powder for X-ray imaging detectors
Gadolinium oxysulfide phosphor doped with trivalent terbium have been synthesized using urea homogenous precipitation and followed by sulfurization at 800 °C under argon atmosphere. Structural and morphological of synthesized phosphor powder were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). Hexagonal structure ...
متن کاملA new technology for medical imaging: Silicon Drift Detectors
Introduction Although breast cancer awareness was raised over the last two decades and breast cancer funding has risen strongly, the United States has one of the highest breast cancer rates in the world. Each year 180,000 women are diagnosed and 44,000 women will die of breast cancer. The even more alarming statistic is that about fifty years ago the probability for a woman to be diagnosed with...
متن کاملMedical Imaging: Current status and future perspectives
Medical imaging is often thought of as a way of viewing anatomical structures of the body. Indeed, x-ray computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging yield exquisitely detailed images of such structures. It is often useful, however, to acquire images of physiologic function rather than of anatomy. Such images can be acquired by imaging the decay of radioisotopes bound to molecules with kn...
متن کاملGlobal Demands ON Medical Education
World action in medical education, notably the global programs of the World Federation for Medical Education, the Edinburgh Declaration of 1988 and the 1993 World Summit, has led to major curricular change in medical schools. For educational reform to result in improved health services of nations, an essential requirement is integration between the medical education system and the health care d...
متن کاملApplications of gold nanoparticles for medical imaging
Background & Aim: Molecular imaging enables us to non-invasively visualize tissue microstructures and lesion characterization, allowing accurate diagnosis of diseases at early stages. A successful molecular imaging requires a nontoxic contrast agent with high sensitivity. Nowadays, a wide range of nanoparticles have been developed as contrast agents for medical imaging modalities. Here, we revi...
