Primordial Black Holes in Phantom Cosmology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We investigate the effects of accretion of phantom energy onto primordial black holes. Since Hawking radiation and phantom energy accretion contribute to a {\it decrease} of the mass of the black hole, the primordial black hole that would be expected to ...

Construction and Evaluation of a Multipurpose Performance Check Phantom for Computed Tomography

open access: yesAtom Indonesia, 2020
The use of computed tomography (CT) has become a common practice in medical diagnosis in Indonesia. Its number, however, is not matched by the availability of dedicated-performance-check phantoms. This paper aims to describe the design, construction, and

Phantom Rhinitis [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2010
Sensitivity to strong odors has a broad differential diagnosis. A presentation is made of a 60-year-old man with lifelong mild allergic rhinitis and a superimposed 4-year history of sensitivity to smells. He had no response to medical treatments or allergic immunotherapy. His physical examination was unremarkable.

A Formula to Calculate the Threshold for Radiotherapy Targets on PET Images: Simulation Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
BackgroundPositron emission tomography (PET) images are being applied for defining radiotherapy targets. However, a recognized method for defining radiotherapy targets is lacking. We investigate the threshold to outline the radiotherapy target of a tumor
