Benefits of low-dose carotid CT angiography in stroke patients

Journal of Health Sciences, 2023
Introduction: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) represents the gold standard as a method for the diagnosis of carotid artery diseases. The current topic is the use of CTA for the evaluation of carotid arteries with a reduction in the dose of ...

Improving the Contrast of Pseudothermal Ghost Images Based on the Measured Signal Distribution of Speckle Fields

Applied Sciences, 2021
In this study, we examine the quality of microscale ghost images as a function of the measured histographic signal distribution of the speckle fields from a nonuniform pseudothermal light source.

Contrast-to-noise ratio in magnification mammography: a Monte Carlo study

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2007
Magnification views are a common way to perform a secondary examination when suspicious abnormalities are found in a screening mammogram. The visibility of microcalcifications and breast lesions is restricted by the compromise between the image quality and the absorbed dose. In this study, image quality characteristics in magnification mammography were

Enhanced longitudinal magnetooptic Kerr effect contrast in nanomagnetic structures [PDF]

, 2007
We report on enhanced longitudinal magnetooptic Kerr effect signal contrast in thin-film nanomagnetic disks with in-plane magnetization when combined with dielectric layers that provide impedance matching to the structure and the underlying substrate ...

Enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio and generating contrast for cryo-EM images with convolutional neural networks

IUCrJ, 2020
In cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of radiation-sensitive biological samples, both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the contrast of images are critically important in the image-processing pipeline.

Enhancing qubit readout through dissipative sub-Poissonian dynamics

, 2017
Single-shot qubit readout typically combines high readout contrast with long-lived readout signals, leading to large signal-to-noise ratios and high readout fidelities.

Acousto-optical coherence tomography with a digital holographic detection scheme [PDF]

, 2012
Acousto-optical coherence tomography (AOCT) consists in using random phase jumps on ultrasound and light to achieve a millimeter resolution when imaging thick scattering media. We combined this technique with heterodyne off-axis digital holography.

Enhanced charge detection of spin qubit readout via an intermediate state

, 2012
We employ an intermediate excited charge state of a lateral quantum dot device to increase the charge detection contrast during the qubit state readout procedure, allowing us to increase the visibility of coherent qubit oscillations.

An in vivo probabilistic atlas of the human locus coeruleus at ultra-high field

NeuroImage, 2021
Early and profound pathological changes are evident in the locus coeruleus (LC) in dementia and Parkinson's disease, with effects on arousal, attention, cognitive and motor control.
