X-ray computed tomography [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Education, 2001
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that produces images of transaxial planes through the human body. When compared with a conventional radiograph, which is an image of many planes superimposed on each other, a CT image exhibits significantly improved contrast although this is at the expense of reduced spatial resolution. A CT

Physician Referral Patterns to Physical Therapists for Managing Knee Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Analysis of Electronic Health Records From an Integrated Health System

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aims to describe the frequency and timing of physician referrals to physical therapists (PTs) and other treatments prescribed over 12 months in patients with recent onset of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The study also aims to identify determinants of early PT referrals.

Adipokines and Associations With Incident Osteoporotic Fracture in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We assessed whether circulating adipokines are associated with incident fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Three adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, and fibroblast growth factor [FGF]‐21) were measured using banked enrollment serum from participants in a longitudinal RA cohort.

Arion: a realistic projection simulator for optimizing laboratory and industrial micro-CT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Optimal scanning conditions in a X-ray Computed Tomography scan are determined by the source and detector of the CT-scanner and composition, size and density of the sample.

Effect of Foot Orthoses on Midfoot Pain and the Volume of Bone Marrow Lesions in the Midfoot: A Randomized Mechanism of Action Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Foot orthoses are thought to improve pain by potentially modifying internal mechanical forces. To test this, we explored whether foot orthoses can modify patterns of bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in people with midfoot pain. Methods Forty‐two people were recruited with midfoot pain, and magnetic resonance imaging–confirmed midfoot BMLs ...

Maximizing temperature sensitivity in a one-dimensional photonic crystal thermal sensor

open access: yesScientific Reports
This paper focuses on a defective one-dimensional photonic crystal thermal sensor with fabricated layers of gallium nitride, glycerin, and air. The transmission features of this sensor have been presented based on the transfer matrix approach using ...

Dynamic micro-CT analysis of fracture formation in rock specimens subjected to multi-phase fluid flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In this study, fracture formation in rocks is being studied at the pore-scale through the combination of high-resolution X-ray CT scanning with custom-made add-on modules.

Segmentation-free x-ray energy spectrum estimation for computed tomography

open access: yes, 2016
X-ray energy spectrum plays an essential role in imaging and related tasks. Due to the high photon flux of clinical CT scanners, most of the spectrum estimation methods are indirect and are usually suffered from various limitations. The recently proposed

Associations of Sleep and Shift Work with Osteoarthritis Risk

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Daily rhythms may be critical for maintaining homeostasis of joint tissues. We aimed to investigate the relationships between circadian clock disruption, sleep, and osteoarthritis (OA) risk in humans. Methods In the UK Biobank, a prospective 500,000‐person cohort, we evaluated associations between sleep duration, sleeplessness/insomnia, and ...
