SPECT, the acronym for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, is a nuclear medicine imaging modality, giving information about a patient?s specific organ or body system. The patient is injected with a radiopharmaceutical, which will emit Gamma rays. The radio activity is collected by an instrument called gamma camera and the image is reconstructed. SPECT is used to make three dimensional images of the heart, to perform brain studies and for skeletal scintigraphy. It is reasonable to speculate about a constant by perhaps a slower rate of in ....etc

To begin with, the word tomography can be explained with reference to ?tomo? and
?graphy?; ?tomo? originates from the Greek word ?tomos? which means section or slice,
and ?graphy? refers to representation. Hence tomography refers to any method which
involves reconstruction of the internal structural information within an object mathematically from a series of projections.

The projection here is the visual information probed using an emanation which are physical processes involved. These include physical processes such as radiation, wa ....etc

Emission Computed Tomography is a technique where by multi cross sectional images of tissue function can be produced , thus removing the effect of overlying and underlying activity. The technique of ECT is generally considered as two separate modalities. SINGLE PHOTON Emission Computed Tomography involves the use single gamma ray emitted per nuclear disintegration. Positron Emission Tomography makes use of radio isotopes such as gallium-68, when two gamma rays each of 511KeV, are emitted simultaneously where a positron from a nucl ....etc

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Introduction
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that is similar in principle to ultrasound, but with superior resolution. It relies on exposing a sample to a burst of light and then measuring the reflective response from different depths and is therefore capable of scanning non-invasively beneath the surface of the sample. In ultrasound imaging, it is relatively easy to measure the time delay of each reflected packet. However, for light pulses, interferometry must be used to measure ....etc

With the proliferation of portable electronic devices, power efficient data transmission has become increasingly important. For serial data transfer, universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART) circuits are often implemented because of their inherent design simplicity and application specific versatility. Components such as laptop keyboards, palm pilot organizers and modems are few examples of devices that employ UART circuits. In this work, design and analysis of a robust UART architecture has been carried out to minimiz ....etc

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a medical imaging technique in which an image of the conductivity or permittivity of part of the body is inferred from surface electrical measurements. Typically, conducting electrodes are attached to the skin of the subject and small alternating currents are applied to some or all of the electrodes. The resulting electrical potentials are measured, and the process may be repeated for numerous different configurations of applied current.

Proposed applications include monitoring of lung function, dete ....etc

Technological advances in the field of radiation oncology over the last decade have revolutionized care for cancer patients in the US and worldwide. These technological advancements have been both hardwareand software-based. More importantly, however, a major shift in the clinical paradigm exemplifies this ground-breaking change. Innovative approaches incorporating both technological and clinical changes have resulted in a complex and elegant mix of imaged-based approaches using computed tomography (CT) ....etc
