Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA BI-RADS Based Expert Systems for the Diagnoses of Breast DiseasesUmi Kalthum Ngah, Shalihatun Azlin Aziz, Mohd. Ezane Aziz et al.We proposed an expert system based on the interpretation of mammographic and ultrasound images that may be used by expert and non-expert doctors in the interpretation and classifying of patient cases. The expert system software consists of a mammographic (MAMMEX) and breast ultrasound (SOUNDEX) medical expert systems which may be used to deduce cases according to the Breast Imaging Recording … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,431 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Impact of XRF-Escape on Energy Resolution of NaI: Tl Scintillation Detectors for Medical Imaging or Gamma-Ray SpectroscopyRaffaele Scafè, Marco Puccini, Rosanna Pellegrini, Roberto PaniThe effect of escape of X-ray fluorescence from scintillator elemental components on the detector energy resolution is investigated from a spectroscopic standpoint, for monolithic and pixelated crystals. Along with these, any other emissions in a given region of interest were also considered. In present spectral evaluations a range of ratios between the areas of the peaks (XRFesc) to (XRFesc + … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 10 Jul 2024 · 5,024 accessesView PDF Cite
