Overview, Practical Tips and Potential Pitfalls of Using Automatic Exposure Control in Ct: Siemens Care Dose 4d.
Today, computed tomography (CT) systems routinely use automatic exposure control (AEC), which modulates the tube current. However, for optimal use, there are several aspects of an AEC system that need to be considered. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of the Siemens CARE Dose 4D AEC system, discuss practical tips and demonstrate potential pitfalls. Two adult anthropomorphic ...
متن کاملTransitioning to independence: pitfalls and practical tips.
Establishing an independent academic career is a lofty goal and junior physician-scientists have an especially complicated balancing act: caring for patients, conducting experiments and meeting regulatory requirements for human or animal subject research. This balancing act is often accompanied by teaching and administrative tasks, as well as the need to plan a coherent research program, obtain...
متن کاملSpinal cord ischemia: practical imaging tips, pearls, and pitfalls.
Ischemia of the spinal cord is a rare entity with a poor prognosis. Brain ischemia is no longer a diagnostic challenge; on the contrary, ischemia of the spinal cord remains difficult, particularly in children. In this article, we illustrate the principal causes in children and adults, clinical presentation, different techniques for the diagnosis by MR imaging (diffusion, spinal MR angiography, ...
متن کاملAutomatic exposure control in CT: applications and limitations.
Tube current (mA) is one of the key technical scanning parameters for adjusting radiation dose in CT. To optimize radiation dose in CT, users can adjust mA either with manually selected mA values or with the application of automatic exposure control (AEC). The latter technique refers to automatic adaptation of mA on the basis of userspecified image quality and x-ray attenuation characteristics ...
متن کاملData Mining : Potential Pitfalls and Practical Issues
I Abstract — Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) have become popular buzzwords. But what exactly is data mining? What are its strengths and limitations? Classic regression, artificial neural network (ANN), and classification and regression tree (CART) models are common KDD tools. Some recent reports (e.g., Kattan et al., 1998) show that ANN and CART models can perform better than classic ...
