Hydroxyethyl methylacrylate and latex balloons.
Room-temperature vulcanizing silicone and homopolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) have been used to permanently inflate detachable balloons [1] . HEMA is preferred over silicone because it is less viscous and is water soluble. Goto et al. [2] described a commercially available (HEMA A, lnterventional Therapeutics, S. San Francisco, CA) polymerizing substance that includes HEMA as the...
متن کاملOptical coherence computed tomography
A time-resolved optical tomography, optical coherence computed tomography, is proposed to bridge the gap between diffuse optical tomography and optical coherence tomography. Both ballistic and multiple-scattered photons are measured at multiple source-detection positions by low-coherence interferometry providing a temporal resolution smaller than 100 fs. A light-tissue interaction model was est...
متن کاملValidation of computed tomography-based attenuation correction of deviation between theoretical and actual values for four computed tomography scanners
Objective: In this study, we aimed to validate the accuracy of computed tomography-based attenuation correction (CTAC) using the bilinear scaling method.Methods: The measured attenuation coefficient (μm) was compared to a theoretical attenuation coefficient (μt ) using four different CT scanners and an RMI 467 phantom. The effective energy of the CT beam X-rays was calculated, using the aluminu...
متن کاملPerformance dependence of hybrid x-ray computed tomography/fluorescence molecular tomography on the optical forward problem.
Hybrid imaging systems combining x-ray computed tomography (CT) and fluorescence tomography can improve fluorescence imaging performance by incorporating anatomical x-ray CT information into the optical inversion problem. While the use of image priors has been investigated in the past, little is known about the optimal use of forward photon propagation models in hybrid optical systems. In this ...
متن کاملvalidation of a prototype optical computed tomography system
in radiation cancer treatments, the most of the side effects could be minimized using a proper dosimeter. gel dosimeter is the only three‑dimensional dosimeter and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the gold standard method for gel dosimeter readout. because of hard accessibility and high cost of sample reading by mri systems, some other alternative methods were developed. the optical computed...
