Refined analysis, based on use of the Monte Carlo code MCNPX-2.4.0, is presented for the "H.B. Robinson-2 pressure vessel dosimetry benchmark", which is a part of the Radiation Shielding and Dosimetry Experiments Database (SINBAD). First, the performance o ...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new polymer-based and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-compatible guide wire for its application in MR-guided endovascular interventions, particularly for interventional peripheral MR angiography in swine experime ...
Accurate magnetic diagnostics are essential to perform reliable operation of any tokamak. The ITER magnetic diagnostics include a wide variety of sensors located on the inner and outer surfaces of the vacuum vessel, in the divertor cassettes and in the cas ...
This invited contribution reviews recent and on-going activity in the field of reconfigurable reflectarrays (RRA). We discuss different areas of investigation related to the modeling, optimization and design, achievement of state-of-the-art performance, or ...
An idea as well as a CMOS implementation of the novel multi-channel readout front-end ASIC for nuclear X-ray imaging system has been presented in the paper. The circuit has been designed in an example configuration with eight equal channels, but the modula ...
The current status of the ITER magnetics diagnostic is summarised. The various risks are discussed on the basis of when they could be present during ITER operation and appropriate mitigation is reviewed. An implementation risk or common mode operation fail ...
Interventional radiology is a minimally invasive procedure where thin instruments, guidewires and catheters or stents are steered through the patient’s vascular system under X- ray imaging for treatment of vascular diseases. The complexity of these procedu ...
This thesis focuses on intracranial aneurysms and particularly on the effect of blood flow in the three major phases that characterize an aneurysm: initiation, growth and rupture. As it stands today, blood flow is the major driver of this disease. The unde ...
Notwithstanding its great success in diagnostic routine and research, structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) still faces challenges. In this context, the present thesis studies new approaches to mitigate the motion susceptibility of MRI. Furthermore, ...
Technical difficulties associated with excavation works in tectonized geological settings are frequent. They comprise instantaneous and/or delayed convergence, sudden collapse of gallery roof and/or walls, outpouring of fault-filling materials and water in ...
