Download or read book ICRP Publication 87 written by ICRP, and published by SAGE Publications Limited. This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computed tomography (CT) examinations can involve relatively high doses to patients. The doses can often approach or exceed levels known with certainty to increase the probability of cancer. The frequency of CT examinations is increasing worldwide and the variety of examinations is also increasing. However, in contrast to the common trend in diagnostic radiology, the rapid developments in CT have not led in general to a reduction of patient doses per examination. Therefore, management of patient dose is crucial. Proper justification of examinations, use of the appropriate technical parameters during examinations, proper quality control, and application of diagnostic reference levels of dose as appropriate would all contribute to this end. There is also scope for further technical development of the equipment used. The present publication aims to provide information in all these respects in order to provide assistance in the successful management of patient dose.

Book excerpt: The Second International Symposium on Constitutive Modeling of Geomaterials: Advances and New Applications (IS-Model 2012), is to be held in Beijing, China, during October 15-16, 2012. The symposium is organized by Tsinghua University, the International Association for Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics (IACMAG), the Committee of Numerical and Physical Modeling of Rock Mass, Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering, and the Committee of Constitutive Relations and Strength Theory, China Institution of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, China Civil Engineering Society. This Symposium follows the first successful International Workshop on Constitutive Modeling held in Hong Kong, which was organized by Prof. JH Yin in 2007. Constitutive modeling of geomaterials has been an active research area for a long period of time. Different approaches have been used in the development of various constitutive models. A number of models have been implemented in the numerical analyses of geotechnical structures. The objective of the symposium is to provide a forum for researchers and engineers working or interested in the area of constitutive modeling to meet together and share new ideas, achievements and experiences through presentations and discussions. Emphasis is placed on recent advances of constitutive modeling and its applications in both theoretic and experimental aspects. Six famous scholars have been invited for the plenary speeches of the symposiums. Some prominent scholars have been invited to organize four specialized workshops on hot topics, including Time-dependent stress-strain behavior of geomaterials, Constitutive modeling within critical state soil mechanics, Multiscale and multiphysics in geomaterials, and Damage to failure in rock structures . A total of 49 papers are included in the above topics. In addition, 51 papers are grouped under three topics covering Behaviour of geomaterials, Constitutive model, and Applications . The editors expect that the book can be helpful as a reference to all those in the field of constitutive modeling of geomaterials. "
Download or read book PET CT Atlas on Quality Control and Image Artefacts written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), as any other imaging modality, is acceptable for routine clinical and research applications only if technical pitfalls can be avoided. Artefacts from incorrect or sub-optimal acquisition procedures should be recognized and, if possible, corrected retrospectively and the resulting image information interpreted correctly, which entails an appreciation of variants of the represented image information. This publication provides guidance on the physics and technical aspects behind PET and PET/CT image distortions. Cases are presented to provide nuclear medicine and radiology professionals with an assortment of examples of possible image distortions and errors in order to support a correct image interpretation. Nearly 70 typical PET and PET/CT cases, comprising image sets and cases, have been collected in this volume, all catalogued and augmented with explanations as to the causes of, and solutions to, each individual image problem. The atlas will prove useful to physicists, physicians, technologists, and service engineers in the clinical field.
