Objective To investigate the effectiveness of radiation protection offered by a newly designed mobile shield barrier for medical personnel during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

In large doses, radiation can cause serious tissue damage and increase a person’s risk of later developing cancer. The low doses of radiation used for imaging tests might increase a person’s cancer ...

Prospective gating markedly lowers radiation exposure, and in combination with other x-ray tube modifications, has reduced exposure rates to as low as 1 mSv for CCTA. [42] ...

A typical rest/stress 82 Rb protocol including CT attenuation imaging approximately 2.3–4 mSv. [11, 83, 84] This dose includes the radiation exposure associated with CT scanning to assist with ...

Comparison of classifier models The AI-based prediction classifier models were developed to anticipate the alteration in the liver enzymes, ALT and AST, with three cofactors, i.e., age, gender of the ...

In this study, we developed a simple and powerful method to fabricate flexible and lightweight graphene-based composites that provide high electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance.

EBG(electromagnetic band-gap) structures have bandgap capability, which can act as perfect magnetic conductor surface. These structures can suppress surface waves and reduce undesired radiation from ...

The threshold voltage (VT) shift and anomalous hump characteristics caused by external gamma-rays (γ-rays) are problematic in electronic devices, especially in aerospace applications. To overcome ...
