Porous titanium scaffolds are a promising class of biomaterials for grafting large bone defects, because titanium provides sufficient mechanical support, whereas its porous structure allows bone ingrowth resulting in good osseointegration. To reinforce porous titanium scaffolds with biological cues that enhance and continue bone regeneration, scaffolds can be incorporated with bioactive gels fo...

Adjusting the dose of radiation which is received by a cancer patient during radiotherapy very important. The use dosimetric gels to calculate applied distribution three- dimensionally current research topic in radiotherapy. In this study, 16 different Fricke including gluconic acid (GA) were produced. These irradiated from 0 250 cGy with increments 50 cGy. MR intensity values and images, UV ab...

Polymer gels whose NMR and optical properties change when irradiated offer unique advantages for measuring radiation dose distributions. To date, all acrylic polymer gel dosimeters must be manufactured, stored and irradiated in hypoxic conditions which severely limits their use and stability. A new formulation of acrylic dosimeter gel has been developed that responds well in normal atmosphere a...

chemical methods ( actinometry ) depend on the measurement of the extent to which a chemical reaction occurs under the influence of uv light. two chemical actinometers have been used in this research. in one method, the mixtures of potassium peroxidisuiphate butanol solutions were irradiated for various time intervals, and ph-changes were determined. a linear relationship was observed between t...

Conventionally defined, radiometry is the field that studies the measurement of electromagnetic radiation in terms of its power, spectral characteristics, and other parameters. The term applies to electromagnetic radiation characterization in a wavelength range from nanometers to tens of microns and at all optical power levels. Because radiometry is defined so broadly, a wide variety of measure...

In using hyperthermia in the clinic, thermal dosimetry is essen tial and is discussed in terms of equating time-temperature relationships for an isoeffect to an equivalent time at a reference temperature, 43° for example. In applying time-temperatureequivalence, the sequence between heat and radiation and be tween two heat treatments, radiation dose rate, linear energy transfer, and physiologi...

Both polymer gels and PRESAGE radiochromic solid dosimeter, in conjunction with optical CT scanning system, have been employed to measure 3-D dose distribution. The 3-D dose maps obtained from these systems can provide a useful tool for dose verification on complex treatments such as IMRT, radiosurgery, and RapidArc. These complex treatments present high dose gradient regions in the boundaries ...

Thls paper explores the potential for airborne remote sensing for atmospheric sciences research. Passive and active techalques from the microwave to visible bands are discussed. It is concluded that technology has progressed sufficiently in several areas that the time Is right to develop and operate new remote sensing instruments for use by the community of atmospheric scientlste as general pur...

The problem of high resolution radiometry imaging is considered. An iterative method of radiometry image processing is presented in the paper. The problem of image reconstruction is considered as the inverse ill-posed problem. The method proposed makes use of the iterative technique and regularization procedure to improve image quality. Nonlinearity of the method is provided by a nonnegative co...
