Model and Integrate Medical Resource Available Times and Relationships in Verifiably Correct Executable Medical Best Practice Guideline Models (Extended Version) [PDF]

ACM/IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS), 2018, 2018
Improving patient care safety is an ultimate objective for medical cyber-physical systems. A recent study shows that the patients' death rate is significantly reduced by computerizing medical best practice guidelines. Recent data also show that some morbidity and mortality in emergency care are directly caused by delayed or interrupted treatment due to

Physics And Statistics Of Medical Imaging [PDF]

SPIE Proceedings, 1989
Extraordinary progress has been made over the last two decades in the development and dissemination of new medical imaging technologies. The development of computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as major innovations to the conventional imaging modalities, have revolutionized medical diagnostic imaging.

Application of quantum computing to a linear non-Gaussian acyclic model for novel medical knowledge discovery [PDF]

PLoS ONE 18(4): e0283933. 2023, 2021
Recently, with the digitalization of medicine, the utilization of real-world medical data collected from clinical sites has been attracting attention. In this study, quantum computing was applied to a linear non-Gaussian acyclic model to discover causal relationships from real-world medical data alone.

Accelerators for Medical Applications - Radio Frequency Powering [PDF]

CERN Yellow Report CERN-2017-004-SP pp. 119-150, 2018
This paper reviews the main types of radio-frequency powering systems which may be used for medical applications. It gives the essentials on vacuum tubes, including tetrodes, klystrons, and inductive output tubes, and the essentials on transistors. The basics of combining systems, splitting systems, and transmission lines are discussed.

Radiation Oncology and Medical Physics [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2015
Radiation therapy has been evolving with technological advances in accelerator, computer, and imaging. As the planning target volumes (PTVs) are made increasingly conformal with the advent of three-dimensional conformal therapy (3D CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), the requirements of precise PTVs localization and its dosimetric ...
