Optical imaging has attracted recent attention as a non-invasive medical method in biomedical and clinical applications. In optical imaging, light beam is transmitted through an under-test tissue by using source. The beams which are gone the and/or reflected from surfaces received array sensor. Based on intensity of these sensor, sub-tissue maps generated to scan large areas so that any further...

Background: Radiotherapy Treatment Planning requires different dosimetric quantities as input in order to calculate a desired dose distribution. This study has been focused to evaluate the depth dose characteristics of superficial X-rays being used for radiotherapy treatment. Materials and Methods: Computerized 3-D water phantom of multi-data system was used. The measurements were made...

Tunnel coupling is a key parameter in coupled semiconductor quantum dots, and crucial ingredient various device applications, such as exchange gates spin shuttling information processing. A widely used charge-sensing technique to extract the tunnel of double dot accounts for only ground orbital state each dot, but authors show that Si valley-orbit must be included analysis. With their more comp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Compared with the image intensifier (I.I.)-TV system, the flat panel detector (FPD) system of direct conversion type has several theoretic advantages, such as higher spatial resolution, wide dynamic range, and no image distortion. The purpose of this study was to compare the image quality of 3D digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the FPD and conventional I.I.-TV syst...

Methods The proposed approach combines 2D spatial wavelet filtering with 1D temporal Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT). The KLT is first applied to create a series of “eigenimages” in which important signal information is concentrated into only a few eigenimages. Then a 2D spatial wavelet filter is applied to each of the individual eigenimages. An adaptive threshold is used to define the wavelet f...

PURPOSE To introduce the concept of energy minimization-based inverse optimization for external beam radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mathematical formulation of energy minimization-based inverse optimization is presented. This mathematical representation is compared to the most commonly used dose-volume based formulation used in inverse optimization. A simple example on digitally created ...

Although use of videotape for the recording of coronary angiograms continues to grow, the validity of quantitative coronary angiographic analysis of video images remains unknown. To estimate the reliability of angiographic images recorded on videotape, experimental and clinical angiograms were recorded simultaneously on both 35 mm cinefilm and super-VHS videotape with normal images and with spa...
