Interpretation of cardiac perfusion SPECT images, and the subsequent reporting of results to referring physicians, are sometimes taken to be outside the sphere of the nuclear medicine technologist. However, all personnel involved with nuclear medicine procedures contribute to the timeliness and usefulness of the final report. The goal of this article is to review the principles of scan interpre...

OBJECTIVES The study measured the dose on body regions that were not shielded to protect from radiation exposure during the general procedure, with the goal of providing basic radiation dose data for radiological technologists who perform the radiographic examination. MATERIALS AND METHODS Shooting parts with the phantom were similar to human tissues using general shooting equipment in the ge...

BACKGROUND Testing coagulation factor activities requires that multiple dilutions be assayed and analyzed to produce a single result. The slope of the line created by plotting measured factor concentration against sample dilution is evaluated to discern the presence of inhibitors giving rise to nonparallelism. Moreover, samples producing results on initial dilution falling outside the analytic ...

The PET procedure involves the administration of short-lived positron emitting radioisotopes to the body. The choice of PET as diagnostic method is increasing and the inclusion of PET systems as part of an imaging center is becoming more widespread. In our PET center, the number of clinical 18F-FDG PET scans has increased almost to 5000 studies per year. The increasing demand of PET studies for...

Energy efficiency in cellular networks is a growing concern for cellular operators to not only maintain profitability, but also to reduce the overall environment effects. According to technical analysts, the base stations are the most energy intensive part of a typical cellular network. Saving power in base stations is therefore the primary focus in energy efficient operation. The main goal of ...
