    摘要: A trip avoidance X-ray inspection system, typically defining a specialized system that delivers pulsed X-rays, comprises one or more pulse X-ray cameras, each comprising a known set of effects on nucleonic instrumentation; a predetermined set of such shielded X-ray sources; a predetermined set of nucleonic instrumentation operatively in communication with one or more pulse X-ray cameras; and a digital radiography detector adapted to allow, process, or otherwise create an X-ray produced image when disposed proximate predetermined set of nucleonic instrumentation. The pulse X-ray camera is adapted to be disposed at a predetermined distance from predetermined set of shielded X-ray sources.

    摘要: The instant disclosure is directed to wearable dermatological systems with battery-free sensors, and kits which include those wearable systems. A kit may include a wearable system comprising a wireless, battery-free radiation sensor configured to detect radiation at one or more radiation wavelengths, and a reader coupled to the radiation sensor and configured to collect information related to at least one characteristic feature of the detected radiation. The kit may also include a product comprising at least one active ingredient. The wearable system may be configured for use by users known to suffer from a number of dermatological conditions, and may further comprise a controller configured to report to a user, which may include suggesting that the user perform a function when the amount of detected radiation exceeds a predetermined limit.

    摘要: A system includes a pulse counter having a selectable pulse counter read-out rate, a pulse counter read-out (PCRO) storage register that stores a PCRO count, and a pulse-burst counter that has a pulse-burst counter read-out rate that is faster than all but the fastest selectable pulse counter read-out rate, a subtractor module in electronic communication with the pulse counter and the PCRO that subtracts the PCRO count from the pulse counter read-out count to output an uncorrected pulse count, a selection module in electronic communication with the pulse-burst counter that selects the pulse counter read-out rate in response to input from the pulse-burst counter, a multiplexer in electronic communication with the subtractor module and the selection module, the multiplexer selecting from among at least two dead-time correction transforms, the transform corresponding to the selected pulse counter read-out rate, and a control-and-readout module that outputs a dead-time corrected pulse rate.

    摘要: In a disclosed imaging method, the instantaneous speed or data acquisition dwell times of a detector head (14, 16) is optimized as a function of position along a path (P) of the detector head around a subject (S, SS, SXL). The optimization is respective to an expected radioactive emission profile (EPROI) of a region of interest (H, HS, HXL) that is less than the entire subject. The detector head is traversed along the path using the optimized instantaneous speed or data acquisition dwell times (40). During the traversing, imaging data are acquired using the detector head. The acquired imaging data are reconstructed to generate a reconstructed image of at least the region of interest. A gamma camera (10) configured to perform the foregoing imaging method is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method for correcting PET emission data for prompt gamma emission background components present in non-pure positron-emitting isotopes uses a two component fit of modeled scatter and modeled prompt gamma emission in the area of scatter tails in a normalized emission sinogram. The method allows a PET scan using non-standard PET isotopes to be quantitative and thus more clinically useful.
