A silicon photomultiplier (SiPM fabricated and characterized. The SiPM was (Separation of Absorption, Charge and Multipl which was optimized for blue light detection positron emission tomography (PET). The achieved high geometric fill factor of 64% and a low brea about 22V, while the temperature dependence of b is only 17mV/°C. The gain and photon detection device achieved were also measured un...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to analyze detection rates and effectiveness of 18f-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (fdg-pet) cancer screening program for prostate cancer in japan, which is defined as a cancer-screening program for subjects without known cancer. it contains fdg-pet aimed at detection of cancer at an early stage with or without additional screening tests ...

background: to retrospectively describe imaging characteristics of liver metastases on fused fdg-pet/ mri data sets and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of mri and fused fdg-pet/mri data sets for the detection of liver metastases in patients undergoing systemic anticancer treatment. materials and methods: 43 oncological patients (mean age: 56+/- 11 years) were investigated by fdg-pet/ct and l...

PURPOSE Hypoxia imaging may improve identification of cervical cancer patients at risk of treatment failure and be utilized in treatment planning and monitoring, but its clinical potential is far from fully realized. Here, we briefly describe the biology of hypoxia in cervix tumors of relevance for imaging, and evaluate positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tec...

Radiolabeled cyclic RGD peptides targeting integrin αvβ3 are reported as promising agents for the early diagnosis of metastatic tumors. With an aim to improve tumor uptake and retention of the peptide, cyclic RGD peptide dimer E[c (RGDfK)] 2 (E = Glutamic acid, f = phenyl alanine, K = lysine) coupled to the bifunctional chelator DOTA was custom synthesized and radiolabelled with Ga. Radiolabell...

pp/pep blends, because of different solubility factors, are incompatible. the aim of this research was to use pp-g-ma compatibilizer in a two-component blend. after preparing this compatibilizer in internal mixer and investigating different parameters on producing process, optimum compatibilization was obtained. pp/pet (60/40) blend fibers with different percentages of this compatibilizer in tw...

This paper proposes an emotion recognition system. Human emotion can be expressed through many kinds of medium such as speech, image, facial expression, and so forth. This paper focuses on the textual data of them. Proposed system is a hybrid system that uses alternatively two methods, keyword-based and machine learning method. Keyword-based methods are traditional approaches using emotional ke...

Infrared Functional Imaging was applied to the study of Raynaud’s Phenomenon obtaing a simultaneous assessment of the thermal properties of all five fingers of both hands of a group of patients with respect of a control group. The method is based on the use of high-resolution telethermography imaging and allows identification of objective parameters from the re-warming curves of finger immediat...
