The purpose of this study is to assess the temporal and reconstruction accuracy of a surface imaging system, the GateCT under ideal conditions, and compare the device with a commonly used respiratory surrogate: the Varian RPM. A clinical CT scanner, run in cine mode, was used with two optical devices, GateCT and RPM, to detect respiratory motion. A radiation detector, GM-10, triggers the X-ray ...

combined pet/ct scanners now play a major role in medicine for in vivo imaging in oncology, cardiology, neurology, and psychiatry. as the performance of a scanner depends not only on the scintillating material but also on the scanner design, with regards to the advent of newer scanners, there is a need to optimize acquisition protocols as well as to compare scanner performances on an objective ...

A midsized broad beam Optical-CT scanner is being developed for collaborative research between Duke and the Radiological Physics Center (RPC). The Duke Midsized Optical-CT Scanner (DMOS-RPC) is designed to be compatible with several of the RPC phantoms, including the head and neck, stereotactic SRS, and lung phantoms. Preliminary data investigating the basic performance of the scanner is descri...

in radiation cancer treatments, the most of the side effects could be minimized using a proper dosimeter. gel dosimeter is the only three‑dimensional dosimeter and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the gold standard method for gel dosimeter readout. because of hard accessibility and high cost of sample reading by mri systems, some other alternative methods were developed. the optical computed...

This study focused on analysing the effectiveness of some CT scanner models; in this concern, selected Siemens Medical Scanner, Philip and GE Discovery STE. gathered primary data, which was scan report a patient, used by Scanner. presented patient’s scanning for five years, allowed comparative among these three machines. found that Scanner is less reliable due to its noise-reduction technique, ...
