Sunflower Artifact in OCT

Evaluation of Metal Artifact Reduction software in Computed Tomography

Introduction: The image quality of computed tomography (CT) can be seriously lowered by metal implants of patients. These implants are known to exert a significant impact on diagnostic accuracy due to artifacts. The current study aimed to assess the usefulness of Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR) software in the reduction of metal artifacts, in comparison to iterative rec...

Granivorous Birds in Sunflower Crops

Bird communities visiting and causing damage to sunflower crops were studied in Western Switzerland. The greenfinch is the main pest species. A population study of that species was carried out in Changins, near Nyon, and crop protection techniques, including an ultrasonic device, were tested. INTRODUCTION Sunflower crops occur rarely in Switzerland mainly due to climatic conditions. Over the pa...

Concepts of Multi-artifact Systems in Artifact Ecologies

The artifact ecologies emerging from the increasing number of interactive digital artifacts, capable of communicating with each other, have created a situation where software applications no longer need to be limited by the physical boundaries of a single artifact. In order to take advantage of the full potential of this situation, we first need to establish a common understanding of the intera...

Swept-Source OCT Angiography: SS OCT AngioTM

Oct in Neurologic Disease

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has evolved dramatically since the first reports of this technology in 1991, and has become an integral part of the ophthalmology evaluation. In addition to providing an indispensible service for the retina physician, the ability to quantify the retinal nerve fiber layer has begun to change neuro-ophthalmic practice. In this regard, OCT has the potential to ch...
