Analysis of a Flexible Dual-Channel Octagonal Coil System for UHF MRI
Nowadays, MRI is focused on using ultra-high static magnetic fields (>7 T) to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. The use of high fields, on the other hand, requires novel technical solutions as well as more stringent design criteria for specific ...

Wormholes supported by a phantom energy [PDF]
We extend the notion of phantom energy--which is generally accepted for homogeneously distributed matter with $w<-1$ in the universe--on inhomogeneous spherically symmetric spacetime configurations. A spherically symmetric distribution of phantom energy is shown to be able to support the existence of static wormholes.

A Monte Carlo study of organ and effective doses of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans in radiotherapy [PDF]
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans utilized for image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) procedures have become an essential part of radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to assess organ and effective doses resulting from new CBCT scan protocols (head, thorax, and

Can universe exit from phantom inflation due to gravitational back reaction? [PDF]
The effects of the gravitational back reaction of cosmological perturbations are investigated in a phantom inflation model. The effective energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational back reaction of cosmological perturbations whose wavelengths are larger than the Hubble radius is calculated.

Optical phantoms for biomedical polarimetry: a review
. Calibration, quantification, and standardization of the polarimetric instrumentation, as well as interpretation and understanding of the obtained data, require the development and use of well-calibrated phantoms and standards. We reviewed the status of

Accurate medical Augmented Reality (AR) rendering requires two calibrations, a camera intrinsic matrix estimation and a hand-eye transformation. We present a unified, practical, marker-less, real-time system to estimate both these transformations during ...

Phantom Black Holes and Sigma Models [PDF]
We construct static multicenter solutions of phantom Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory from null geodesics of the target space, leading to regular black holes without spatial symmetry for certain discrete values of the dilaton coupling constant. We also discuss the three-dimensional gravitating sigma models obtained by reduction of phantom Einstein ...

3D microwave tomography with huber regularization applied to realistic numerical breast phantoms [PDF]
Quantitative active microwave imaging for breast cancer screening and therapy monitoring applications requires adequate reconstruction algorithms, in particular with regard to the nonlinearity and ill-posedness of the inverse problem.
