Quantitative two-photon LIF imaging of carbon monoxide in combustion gases
Abstract:
Two-dimensional imaging of CO concentration in combustion gases is demonstrated using two-photonexcited planar laser-induced fluorescence. A quantitative model is presented for the simultaneous twophoton excitation of several rotational transitions of the B(1)Sigma(+) ? X(1)Sigma(+) system and the subsequent visible fluorescence (B(1)Sigma(+) ? A(1)Pi). The model is verified by comparison of predicted and measured excitation spectra and of temperature-corrected relative fluorescence measurements to standard probe measurements of the center line CO distribution in a CO-air diffusion flame. In addition, CO imaging experiments in a premixed methane-air flame indicate the production of C(2) by laser photodissociation of acetylene.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
