新一代多模型迭代算法在70 kVp成人副鼻窦CT扫描中的应用

探讨成人在70 kVp副鼻窦CT检查中降低有效辐射剂量的同时,获取最佳图像质量的新一代多模型迭代算法(Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction-V,Asir-V)的权重。本研究对20例成人患者进行副鼻窦Revolution CT检查,采用70 kVp、230 mA条件下进行螺旋CT扫描,扫描完成后对每例患者的原始数据采用不同权重(0,20%,40%,60%,80%,100%)的后置新一代多模型迭代算法(Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction-V,Asir-V)重建的方法,共获得120幅图像,并对每例6组图像进行客观评价及主观评分。客观评价包括噪声(standard deviations, SD)和对比噪声比(contrast noise ratio,CNR),主观评价由2名评价医生对图像质量评分并对两者的主观一致性进行评价。每例患者扫描完成后,记录其剂量长度乘积(dose-length product,DLP)和CT容积剂量指数(CT dose index volume,CTDI_vol),并计算其平均有效辐射剂量(effective dose,ED)。客观评价结果表明不同权重的Asir-V图像噪声随着Asir-V权重的提升而降低,CNR值随着Asir-V权重的提升而升高,且有效辐射剂量ED较常规头颈部CT检查的平均辐射剂量明显减少;主观评价结果表明不同权重的Asir-V图像评分不同,在Asir-V 60% 时评分最高,且2名医生主观评价一致性好。结合主客观评价结果,认为在70 kVp、230 mA成人副鼻窦Revolution CT检查中,Asir-V 60％的图像既可满足临床诊断的需要,也可明显降低有效辐射剂量。

Estimation of Antenna Correlation Coefficient of N-Port Lossy MIMO Array

This paper proposes a simple yet accurate method for estimating the antenna correlation coefficient (ACC) of a high-order multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna. The conventional method employed to obtain the ACC from three-dimensional radiation patterns is costly and difficult to measure. An alternate method is to use the S-parameters, which can be easily measured using a network analyzer. However, this method assumes that the antennas are highly efficient, and it is therefore not suitable for lossy MIMO antenna arrays. To overcome this limitation, we define and utilize the non-coupled radiation efficiency in the S-parameter-based ACC formula. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by the simulation results of a 4-port highly coupled lossy MIMO array. Further, the proposed method can be applied to N-port arrays by expanding the calculation matrix.     

Irradiated Ch/GG/PVP-based stimuli-responsive hydrogels for controlled drug release

Hydrogels based on gamma (γ) irradiated chitosan (pre-irradiated), guar gum, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone were crosslinked with various concentrations of (3-mercapto propyl)trimethoxysilane and fabricated by solution casting technique for the drug delivery applications. High molecular weight chitosan (Ch) possesses lower solubility and higher viscosity, these problems overcame by γ irradiation, which also generated hydrophilicity and effect of irradiated Ch on controlled drug release was assessed. FTIR analysis showed the development of chemical and physical interactions and confirmed the incorporation of characteristic peaks. SEM micrographs revealed porous structure of the prepared hydrogels. Swelling analysis of the hydrogels was performed in distilled water, buffer, and electrolyte mediums. All the hydrogel samples showed higher swelling at acidic pH and lower swelling at neutral and basic pH. These pH-responsive characteristics made these RCGP hydrogels an important contender for injectable controlled drug release. The ampicillin sodium drug was loaded and in vitro controlled release mechanism was evaluated in the PBS, SIF, and SGF which shown out of all prepared hydrogels (RCGP-1, RCGP-2, and RCGP-3), RCGP-1 has exhibited 87.4% release in PBS and 81.3% in SIF in 180 min.     

The effect of lithium fluoride on the thermal stability and thermoluminescence properties of borosilicate glass and glass-ceramics

The oxyfluoride glass and glass-ceramics from the LiF-B₂O₃-SiO₂ system are developed. The stable glass can be produced in the range of 20–40 mol% LiF. The effect of LiF admixture on the thermal stability of the glass as well as the thermoluminescence (TL) properties such as glow curves shape is studied. The results show that the increase of lithium fluoride content in the borosilicate glass causes efficiency enhancement of the thermoluminescence signal. We have clearly stated that the process of controlled crystallization of the oxyfluoride glasses can lead again to increased intensity of the TL process. The glass-ceramics with 40 mol% LiF reveals similar level of TL signal to commercially used doped LiF material and can be considered as active material for alpha and beta radiation detectors.

为了保证上海光源X射线干涉光刻光束线的稳定性,减小热变形对实验结果的影响,对X射线干涉光刻光束线的3个关键光学元件——偏转镜、聚焦镜和精密四刀狭缝进行热-结构耦合分析。首先,计算偏转镜、聚焦镜和精密四刀狭缝所承载的功率密度;然后,建立其有限元模型;最后,获得光学元件的温度场和热变形的结果。结果表明,偏转镜和聚焦镜采用间接水冷方式可有效抑制热变形,冷却后的最大面形误差分别为7.2μrad和9.2μrad。精密四刀狭缝未冷却时,刀片组件温度介于271.56~273.27℃,刀口热变形为0.19 mm,直线导轨热变形为0.08 mm;经过铜辫子冷却后,刀片组件温度降至22.24~23.94℃,刀口热变形降至0.2μm,直线导轨热变形降至0.1μm;采用影像法和接触探头法测试后,刀口直线度、平行度和重复精度均满足技术要求。偏转镜、聚焦镜和精密四刀狭缝的热变形通过间接水冷和铜辫子的冷却方式可以得到很大程度的抑制,进而保证光斑质量。     

γ射线辐照和阳光照射对ZF6铅玻璃透光率的影响

通过实验研究ZF6铅玻璃在~(60)Co放射源相同剂量率不同累积剂量照射下透光率的变化规律。将辐照后的铅玻璃在室外阳光下、室内自然光下和不透光的抽屉中放置观察,发现阳光照射对铅玻璃辐照着色的恢复起着重要作用,在建立铅玻璃透光率随辐照时间变化的数学模型时,室内自然光对铅玻璃透光率的影响可忽略。实验数据验证了受辐照时铅玻璃透光率的变化与辐照时间符合指数函数关系。根据文献资料推导出铅玻璃透光率变化与光照时间为线性函数关系,但发现其与实验数据的符合程度较差,本文根据样条曲线插值法推导出铅玻璃透光率与光照时间为二次函数关系,与实验数据的符合效果较好。
