Novel High‐Quality Fluoroscopic Image Processing System With More Than 50% Radiation Dose Reduction in Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (With Video)

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
The SPA setting reduced radiation exposure by > 50% while maintaining high image quality in real time, and was associated with a shorter ERCP procedure time. ABSTRACT Objectives Radiation dose reduction is an important consideration in ERCP. However, the low radiation dose compromises image quality.

Gallstone-Formation-Inspired Bimetallic Supra-nanostructures for Computed-Tomography-Image-Guided Radiation Therapy

, 2018
Inspired by the gallstone formation mechanism, we report a fast one-pot synthesis of high-surface-area bimetallic hierarchical supra-nanostructures. As gallstones are generated from metal cholate complexes, cholate bile acid molecules with Au/Ag metal ...
