Comparing X-ray dose reduction capability of silicon-bismuth micro- and nanocomposite shields using chest CT test
Comparison of radiation shields of different thicknesses and structures (especially different particle sizes of their constituents) is helpful to select an appropriate shield for patient protection in medical imaging tests particularly CT-scan. In this study micro- and nano-powders of bismuth were mixed with silicone matrix to make composite radiation shields for breast. The shields were provid...
متن کاملSmall Animal X-ray Computed Tomography
X-ray computed tomography (CT) systems with high resolution (also known as micro-CT systems) have been developed over the last two decades and have been used with great success in small animal studies. A micro-CT scanner is based on the same underlying physical principle as a clinical CT scanner, but it is designed for higher-resolution imaging. It produces three-dimensional (3D) tomographic da...
متن کاملIn vivo small animal micro-CT using nanoparticle contrast agents
Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most valuable modalities for in vivo imaging because it is fast, high-resolution, cost-effective, and non-invasive. Moreover, CT is heavily used not only in the clinic (for both diagnostics and treatment planning) but also in preclinical research as micro-CT. Although CT is inherently effective for lung and bone imaging, soft tissue imaging requires the us...
متن کاملX-ray micro-CT with a displaced detector array.
Because the sizes of samples differ in x-ray micro-CT applications, it is desirable to have a mechanism to change the field of view of a micro-CT scanner. A well-known way to double the diameter of the field of view is to displace a detector array by 50%. In this paper, we propose to displace a detector array by an amount of greater than 0% but less than 50% for a continuously adjustable field ...
متن کاملDose fractionation in synchrotron radiation x-ray phase micro-tomography.
Phase sensitive x-ray imaging expands the applicability of standard attenuation based techniques by offering several orders of magnitude of increase in sensitivity. Due to the short wavelength, x-ray phase is not directly measurable, but has to be put in evidence by the use of phase contrast techniques. The phase can then be reconstructed from one or several phase contrast images. In this study...
