Tunable phantoms and their verification

open access: yes, 2020
Digital phantoms are very important for body area networks and other biomedical applications. However, it is important to note that most existing phantoms are static, including 3D scanned and voxel models.

Heterogeneity in the Global Practice of Central Nervous System Staging in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is assessed by cell counting and cytomorphology from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is used for treatment stratification worldwide. The ratio of “CNS2” patients in clinical trials ranges from 3% to 40%, with unclear prognostic significance ...

Multilayer tubular phantoms for optical coherence tomography

open access: yes, 2010
We report preliminary results toward making artery phantoms for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) that also exhibit mechanical properties similar to arteries for large deformation regimes.

Determining blood flow direction from short neurovascular surgical microscope videos

open access: yesHealthcare Technology Letters, 2019
Neurovascular surgery aims to repair diseased or damaged blood vessels in the brain or spine. There are numerous procedures that fall under this category, and in all of them, the direction of blood flow through these vessels is crucial information ...

Increased Risk of Sarcomas in Children With Congenital Anomalies: Findings From the Genetic Overlap Between Anomalies and Cancer in Kids (GOBACK) Registry Linkage Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors that contribute disproportionately to cancer mortality in children. Although congenital anomalies are among the strongest known risk factors for childhood cancer, the risk of specific sarcoma subtypes among affected individuals has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Procedure We

Poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogel, multi-layer artery phantoms for optical coherence tomography

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper, we present recent development of phantoms of coronary arteries with representative mechanical properties. The phantoms were made of poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogel (PVA-C). Multilayer phantoms were fabricated by an overmoulding process.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPRA

open access: yesModern Physics Letters A, 2006
The Observed Perlmutter-Riess Acceleration (OPRA) implies that the expansion of the Universe is currently increasing and is motivation for the so-called phantom energy models. We consider the dynamics of phantom scalar field models. An important physical time constraint, which can be used to rule out many cosmological models, is obtained from the ...

Therapeutic Apheresis for Intravenous Methylprednisolone‐Refractory Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: Clinical and Radiological Outcomes in a Single‐Center Case Series

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a relapsing autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. High‐dose intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) is the standard first‐line therapy for acute attacks, although some patients remain refractory.

Use of an anthropomorphic hand phantom to verify the radiation intensity that is needed to modify the analog and digital radiographic quality

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2015
The radiology is a field of medicine that is in constantly expansion and advancing. This can be noticed with the transition from analog to digital radiology systems, it is important that professionals understand image formation in both systems in order ...
