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 ...

Flexible interventional imaging system based on miniaturized X-ray tubes (FlexScan)
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2018 In orthopedic hand surgeries C-arms are the standard imaging modalities for procedure and tool guidance. However, the currently used systems have a large footprint and high weight, which can lead to workspace restrictions and difficult positioning of the

A rare case of Actinomyces Peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine, 2021 OBJECTIVE: Peritonitis is one of the most frequent complications in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Most of them have a bacterial origin, especially gram-positive microorganisms. Actinomyces peritonitis is rare in PD patients. We report an exceptional

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
