Distance Corrections01:15

Distance Corrections

285
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

Power Factor Correction01:20

Power Factor Correction

515
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

Scatter Plot

The most common and easiest way to display the relationship between two variables, x and y, is a scatter plot. A scatter plot shows the direction of a relationship between the variables. A clear direction happens when there is either:

NMR Spectrometers: Resolution and Error Correction

1.0K
When magnetic nuclei in a sample achieve resonance and undergo relaxation, the signal detected in NMR is an approximately exponential free induction decay. Fourier transform of an exponential decay yields a Lorentzian peak in the frequency domain. Lorentzian peaks in an NMR spectrum are defined by their amplitude, full width at half maximum, and position, where the peak width is governed by the spin-spin relaxation time alone. In real experiments, however, the applied magnetic field is rendered...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Dual-energy CT (DSCT) cross-scatter radiation degrades image quality. Both model-based and measurement-based correction methods improve dual-energy CT (DSCT) images, with measurement-based techniques offering higher contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) when combined with low-pass filtering.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiological Imaging
  • Computed Tomography

Background:

  • Dual-source CT (DSCT) systems use two detectors offset by 90 degrees.
  • Cross-scattered radiation is a significant challenge in DSCT, causing artifacts and reducing image contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR).
  • Effective scatter correction algorithms are essential for mitigating these artifacts and improving image quality in DSCT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate different methods for cross-scatter correction in DSCT.
  • To assess the efficacy of model-based and measurement-based scatter correction techniques.
  • To evaluate the impact of low-pass filtering on scatter correction performance.

Main Methods:

  • Two techniques for cross-scatter correction were presented: a model-based approach using surface scatter information and a measurement-based approach using dedicated sensors.
  • A low-pass filter method was described for the scatter-correction term to enhance CNR.
  • Both techniques and the filtering method were evaluated using phantom and patient DSCT data.

Main Results:

  • Both model-based and measurement-based scatter correction techniques effectively reduced artifacts and restored contrast in DSCT images.
  • The measurement-based technique, when combined with low-pass filtering, yielded higher CNR compared to the model-based technique.
  • Low-pass filtering demonstrated an improvement in CNR beyond previously published results for scatter correction.

Conclusions:

  • Both model-based and measurement-based scatter correction methods can effectively mitigate cross-scatter effects in DSCT.
  • Applying low-pass filtering to the scatter-correction term enhances CNR, particularly in larger patients where scattered radiation is more prevalent.
