Doses Received by Patients during Thorax X-Ray Examinations
Introduction Radiation exposures from diagnostic medical examinations are generally low and are almost always justified by the benefits of accurate diagnosis of possible disease conditions. Therefore, entrance skin dose (ESD), body organ dose (BOD), and effective dose (ED) from adult patients undergoing routine thorax posterior-anterior (PA) and thorax right lateral (RLAT) were estimated in Uni...
متن کاملfuzzy-based medical x-ray image classification
in this paper a novel fuzzy scheme for medical x-ray image classification is presented. in this method, any image is partitioned in to 25 overlapping subimages and then shape-texture features are extracted from shape and directional information extracted from any subimage. in the classification stage, we apply a fuzzy membership to any subimage with respect to euclidean distance between feature...
متن کاملSoft x-ray microscopy with coherent x rays (invited)
The Soft X-ray Undulator beamline at the NSLS supports a soft x-ray imaging program including scanning transmission microscopy, scanning photoemission microscopy, Gabor and Fourier transform holography, and large angle diffraction. Zone plates from an LBL Center for X-ray Optics/IBM collaboration are used as optical elements. The current instrumentation of the beamline and the experimental stat...
متن کاملX-rays from quiescent low-mass X-ray binary transients
I argue that it is very unlikely that X-rays from quiescent black-hole low-mass X-ray binary transients are emitted by coronae of companion stars. I show that in a simple model in which these X-rays are emitted by an ADAF filling the inner part of an unsteady, dwarf-nova type disc, the X-ray luminosity is correlated with the orbital period. I predict what values of X-ray luminosities from black...
متن کاملMedical Uses of Monochromatic X-rays
At a time in which medical costs are straining the economic welfare of our country, do we need another new technology to diagnose and treat diseases? To answer that question we must explore any shortcomings of our present system and assess the benefits that we might hope to derive from the costs of another layer of expensive technology. If our longevity and quality of life can be significantly ...
