Review of Magnetic Resonance Thermometry (MRT)

Review of Magnetic Resonance Thermometry (MRT) A variety of mechanisms for the non-invasive real-time monitoring of tissue temperatures in vivo have been proposed. One method is the method of microwave radiometry. All objects emit ntural electromagnetic energy whose...

Review of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Review of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) The hydrogen atom has a nucleus consisting of only a single proton. Because of this it exhibits a relatively large magnetic moment. Hydrogen is also plentiful throughout the body due to its presence in every water molecule...

Support Vector Machine

Support Vector Machine (SVM) Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a very popular machine learning technique known for its accuracy, ease of application and versatility. This research does only apply SVM on the available feature set, so we try to explain only the basics...

Benders’ decomposition

Benders’ decomposition Classical Benders’ algorithm has been applied to many areas including network design, integrated aircraft routing and crew scheduling, and production management. Originally conceived by J. F. Benders in 1962, Benders’...

Tactical operating room planning and scheduling

Tactical operating room planning and scheduling One strategy for cost containment in activities surrounding the operating room (OR) is effcient utilization of OR resources through scheduling optimization. As OR-related costs contribute, on average, 8-10 percent of a...

Stereotactic radiosurgery

Stereotactic radiosurgery Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for various types of head and neck disease, including cancer. As opposed to stereotactic radiotherapy, in which smaller doses of radiation are given over a large number...

Inertial Systems

Inertial Systems Inertial motion capture systems use miniature sensors and sensor fusion algorithms. Oftentimes, prototypes for these systems include accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. In most cases, the data are transmitted wirelessly to a computer where...

Optical systems

Optical systems To obtain reliable data and measurements, gait laboratories often use OMCS. Different techniques and technologies are available, each with their advantages and limitations; however, their common goal is to capture movement data in order to examine and...

Detection of beta particles

Detection of beta particles Because certain materials/substances exhibit significant glow or ionizations when a beta particle travels through them , They used as detector materials for detecting beta particles. One class of detectors employs gas as the detection...

Transportation of Beta Particles

Transportation of Beta Particles Like any other radiation traveling in matter, the range, energy deposited, and scattering patterns are very important properties in nuclear medicine. The range of a beta particle in specific material could be defined as the total...

Beta-decay

Beta-decay In a typical beta decay, a radioactive nuclide emits a beta particle when a neutron/proton transforms into a proton/neutron emitting a beta particle in the process, which could either be an electron or a positron. Beta particles are fast electrons...
