چکیده
We demonstrate two algorithms used forreconstructing the target's structure basedon the diffracted pulses and additionallyshow that a three-dimensional target can bereconstructed using the broadband pulsesand a Fresnel lens by virtue of itsfrequency dependent focal length. Oneadvantage of T-ray imaging is the abilityto measure the far-infrared spectralresponse of the target. To highlight theimportance of this spectral information, wedemonstrate T-ray classification imagingwith different biological samples using asimple classification algorithm and twodimensional T-ray spectroscopic images.

متن کاملThe effect of fasting on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
As a nuclear approach, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique which is based on the detection of gamma ray pairs emitted by a positron-emitting radionuclide. There are certain limitations to this technique such as normal tissue uptake. Therefore, it has been recommended that patients prepare before scanning. Fasting for a short while before PET imaging is an exampl...
متن کاملAn iterative method to estimate x-ray attenuation coefficients in computed tomography
Introduction: The basis of image formation in Computed Tomography (CT) lies in the x-ray linear attenuation coefficient of the scanned material. Compton scattering and photoelectric effect are the dominant interactions of the x-ray photons with the subject, in the range of diagnostic radiology. These two coefficients are important in tissue characterization by Dual-Energy CT (D...
