The field of view (FOV) and spatial resolution (SR) are the major image quality parameters which are being optimized in neutron radiography (NR) technique. This requires effective components selection during the design of NR detector systems. The selection is a discouraging task owing to often having conflicting experimental requirements and related constraints. In this work,…

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) was widely used for treating tumors non-invasively. In this treatment, ultrasound is focused on the target volume inside the human body to ablate cancerous tissues and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is mainly used to grasp the target position and to measure the temperature distributions around the target. However, MRI is…

In this work, we completed a validation of the Varian Clinac IX equipped with the High Definition Multi-Leaf Collimator (HD 120 MLC) instead of the removable jaws, using GATE Monte Carlo Platform version 8.2. We validated the multileaf collimator (MLC) geometry by simulating two dosimetric functions (Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) and Dose Profile (DP)), for…

The paper deals with hardware emulation of bio-inspired devices and nonlinear dynamic processes of complex nature by means of mixed-mode analog-digital emulators. The discretized state model of the emulated system serves for real-time calculation of dependent quantities. In contrast to input-output emulation known in control systems, the proposed approach emulates the ports of an electrical…

A thrombus or a blood clot is the result of blood coagulation which is a natural process to prevent bleeding. An inappropriate formation of a thrombus in a deep vein is known as Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT). The main complication of a DVT is a Pulmonary Embolism (PE) which occurs when a thrombus breaks loose…
