Simple dose rate measurements for a very high synchrotron X-ray flux

Dose measurements based on methylene blue (MB) bleaching, widely used for ultraviolet light, can also be applied to X-rays including very high flux levels. This method has been tested by using both MB bleaching and Fricke dosimetry for a conventional monoc ...

Advanced phase-contrast imaging using a grating interferometer

Christian David, Marco Stampanoni

Phase-sensitive X-ray imaging methods can provide substantially increased contrast over conventional absorption-based imaging, and therefore new and otherwise inaccessible information. Differential phase-contrast (DPC) imaging, which uses a grating interfe ...

Model-based Segmentation and Image Fusion of 3D Computed Tomography and 3D Ultrasound of the Eye for Radiotherapy Planning

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Subrahmanyam Venkata Ravi Mohana Sai Gorthi, Alessia Pica

For radiotherapy treatment planning of retinoblastoma in childhood, Computed Tomography (CT) represents the standard method for tumor volume delineation, despite some inherent limitations. CT scan is very useful in providing information on physical density ...

Functional imaging studies of cognition using Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT: empirical validation using the n-back working memory paradigm

Pierre Magistretti

Purpose Functional activation protocols are widely applied for the study of brain-cognition relations. Only few take advantage of the intrinsic characteristics of SPECT, particularly those allowing cognitive assessment outside of the camera, in settings cl ...

Metastability of fcc-related Si-N phases

The phenomenon of superhardening in TiN/SiNx nanocomposites and the prediction of extreme hardness in bulk gamma-Si3N4 have attracted a large interest to this material system. Attempts to explain the experimental findings by means of first-principles calcu ...

The kinetics of H2O vapor condensation and evaporation on different types of ice in the range 130-210 K

Hubert van den Bergh, Michel Rossi, Pascal Pratte

The kinetics of condensation (kc) and the evaporation flux (J(ev)) of H2O on ice were studied in the range 130-210 K using pulsed-valve and steady-state techniques in a low-pressure flow reactor. The uptake coefficient gamma was measured for different type ...

144Ce as a potential candidate for interstitial and intravascular brachytherapy

Rakesh Chawla, François Bochud

To investigate the suitability of 144Ce for both interstitial and intravascular brachytherapy applications. Monte Carlo calculations of radial dose rate distributions in water were performed for 144Ce in a spring-shaped source and compared with two commonl ...

Measurements and Monte Carlo calculations with the extended-range Bonner sphere spectrometer at high-energy mixed fields

The use of spectrometry to provide information for neutron radiation protection has become an increasingly important activity over recent years. The need for spectral data arises because neither area survey instruments nor personal dosimeters give the corr ...
