After an amputation many patients awake from the anesthesia feeling certain that the operation has not been performed. They feel the lost limb so vividly that only when they reach out to touch it, or peer under the bed sheets to see it, do they realize it has been cut off. This ph...

We report calculation of the energy spectrum and spectroscopic properties superheavy element ion: ${\mathrm{Rf}}^{+}$. use four-component relativistic Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian multireference configuration interaction model to tackle complex electronic structure problem that combines strong effects electron correlation. determine energies ground low-lying excited states ${\mathrm{Rf}}^{+}$, whi...

We demonstrate the two-color cooling and trapping of alkaline-earth atoms in a grating magneto-optical trap (GMOT). The is formed by single incident laser beam together with four secondary beams that are generated via diffraction from nanostructured wafer. A structure for GMOT operating strontium optimized fabricated. ${10}^{6}{\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}}^{88}\mathrm{Sr}$ on ${}^{1}{S}_{0}{\en...

We proposed a simple visual method for evaluating the dynamic tumor tracking (DTT) accuracy of a gimbal mechanism using a light field. A single photon beam was set with a field size of 30 × 30 mm2 at a gantry angle of 90°. The center of a cube phantom was set up at the isocenter of a motion table, and 4D modeling was performed based on the tumor and infrared (IR) marker motion. After 4D modelin...

Objective(s): We evaluated edge artifacts in relation to phantom diameter and reconstruction parameters in point spread function (PSF)-based positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction.Methods: PET data were acquired from an original cone-shaped phantom filled with 18F solution (21.9 kBq/mL) for 10 min using a Biograph mCT scanner. The images were reconstructed using the baseline or...

Twenty-five subjects, who had undergone amputation within last 6 weeks, were studied for psychiatric complications, including phantom limb phenomena. The patients were interviewed on SCID, HRSD and HARS. Out of a total of 25 subjects, 8 (34.6%) developed psychiatric disorders - PTSD and major depression. The whole sample was thus divided into 2 groups-sick and nonsick. Phantom limb was seen in ...

Introduction Quality control is an important phenomenon in nuclear medicine imaging. A Jaszczak SPECT Phantom provides consistent performance information for any SPECT or PET system. This article describes the simulation of a Jaszczak phantom and creating an executable phantom file for comparing assessment of SPECT cameras using SIMIND Monte Carlo simulation program which is well-established fo...

Introduction: Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) and Total Body Irradiation (TBI) are kinds of treatment which use electron and photon beams to treat special types of cancers. The aim of these techniques are to deliver uniform dose to the entire skin while minimizing delivered dose to organs at risk. To check the homogeneity of dose delivery in TBI and TSET, using a humanoid ph...

Introduction: One of the most valuable goals of phantoms, replacing with human goals in the field of research and quality control of diagnostic X-ray systems. There are various algorithms and methods for obtaining Homogeneity and CT number linearity for CT scan device. One of the most famous of these methods, the method is to use a uniform and homogeneous environment to comput...
