Miniature CNT-based X-ray tube: assessment for use in intraoperative radiation therapy
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2017 Carbon nanotube (CNT) is a new technology used to generate gamma photons in X-ray tubes. CNTs, in comparison to other small X-ray sources, produce high X-ray intensities and as they are not based on a thermionic principle they considered cold electron ...

Resectoscope with an easy to use twist mechanism for improved handling
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2016 One of the oldest methods used in minimally invasive surgeries is the transurethral resection. This is an operation technique in which diseased tissue from the bladder or the prostate is removed using a resectoscope through the urethra [Schostak M, Blana
