Positron-based attenuation correction for Positron Emission Tomography data using MCNP6 code

open access: yesJournal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences, 2016
This paper presents the Monte Carlo simulation of the attenuation correction for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) data using MCNP6 code. Two attenuation correction maps have been generated, one for correcting the attenuation effect in a homogeneous ...

Extending arterial stiffness assessment along the circumference using beam-steered ARFI and wave-tracking: A proof-of-principle study in phantoms and ex vivo

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Background: To fully quantify arterial wall and plaque stiffness, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI)-induced wave-tracking along the entire vessel circumference is desired.

Anisotropic Conductivity of Rat Head Phantom and its Influence on Electroencephalogram Source Localization

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
In this paper we deal with a simplified anisotropic rat head phantom development and the investigation of the influence of the anisotropic white matter on electroencephalogram source localization.

Patient-specific stopping power calibration for proton therapy planning based on single-detector proton radiography. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A simple robust optimizer has been developed that can produce patient-specific calibration curves to convert x-ray computed tomography (CT) numbers to relative stopping powers (HU-RSPs) for proton therapy treatment planning.

Universal phantom maps

open access: yesTopology, 1993
Let \(X\) be a connected CW-complex with finite skeletons \(X_ n\). A map on \(X\) is called a phantom map if its restriction to each \(X_ n\) is null-homotopic. The authors construct a phantom map \(\Theta:X\to{\overset\infty\bigvee}\Sigma X_ n\) which is universal, in the sense that every phantom map on \(X\) factors through \(\Theta\) up to homotopy.

Cardiac MRF using rosette trajectories for simultaneous myocardial T1, T2, and proton density fat fraction mapping

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
The goal of this work is to extend prior work on cardiac MR Fingerprinting (cMRF) using rosette k-space trajectories to enable simultaneous T1, T2, and proton density fat fraction (PDFF) mapping in the heart.

A Spectral CT Method to Directly Estimate Basis Material Maps From Experimental Photon-Counting Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The proposed spectral CT method solves the constrained one-step spectral CT reconstruction (cOSSCIR) optimization problem to estimate basis material maps while modeling the nonlinear X-ray detection process and enforcing convex constraints on the basis ...

Design of a realistic PET-CT-MRI phantom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The validation of the PET image quality of new PET-MRI systems should be done against the image quality of currently available PET-CT systems. This includes the validation of new attenuation correction methods.

A Convex Reconstruction Model for X-ray Tomographic Imaging with Uncertain Flat-fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Classical methods for X-ray computed tomography are based on the assumption that the X-ray source intensity is known, but in practice, the intensity is measured and hence uncertain.

Deprojection of light distributions of nearby systems: perspective effect and non-uniqueness [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Deriving the 3-dimensional volume density distribution from a 2-dimensional light distribution of a system yields generally non-unique results. The case for nearby dust-free systems is studied, taking into account the extra constraints from the ...
