The basic principle of DXA data acquisition is based on the differences between bone and soft tissue attenuation at high and low x-ray levels. As an x-ray beam passes through the subject, detectors ...

The new technology could provide a greater depth of information about an array of biological processes and anatomical information including soft-tissue ... such as photon attenuation and scatter ...

Although the gated SPECT acquisition has improved the specificity of MPI, soft tissue attenuation can still be a problem. This phenomenon can cause both fixed and reversible defects with resulting ...

While attenuation-based images show attenuating structures, such as bones and soft tissue, dark-field images show the amount of tissue interfaces in the beam path. (Courtesy: Radiology) Between ...

Thirty oncologic patients with metal implants (hip prosthesis, dental implants, pacemaker) were studied using CT and Cs-137 transmission scans for attenuation correction. None of the included ...

And—bonus—robots don’t get sleepy. In a world’s first, researchers report using an autonomous robot to perform surgical operations on soft tissue and in living pigs, where the adroit ...

A robot has performed laparoscopic surgery on the soft tissue of a pig without the guiding hand of a human – a significant step in robotics toward fully automated surgery on humans. Designed by ...
