Comparative Excretory Systems02:24

Comparative Excretory Systems

26.6K
Animals have evolved different strategies for excretion, the removal of waste from the body. Most waste must be dissolved in water to be excreted, so an animal’s excretory strategy directly affects its water balance.

Quality of Water01:19

Quality of Water

513
In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

Quality Control01:05

Quality Control

1.4K
Quality control is one of the three cyclical quality assurance activities that help keep a system under statistical control. Typical quality control activities include creating quality control charts, conducting proficiency testing, and documenting and archiving results.
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...

Quality Assurance01:19

Quality Assurance

1.1K
Quality assurance is the overarching term used to describe the activities employed to ensure the proper performance of a system. These activities can be classified into three categories: quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. Typically, these activities work cyclically: quality control is performed before and during the analysis, while quality assessment occurs during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are implemented based on the findings...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.6K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Second Order systems II01:18

Second Order systems II

394
In an underdamped second-order system, where the damping ratio ζ is between 0 and 1, a unit-step input results in a transfer function that, when transformed using the inverse Laplace method, reveals the output response. The output exhibits a damped sinusoidal oscillation, and the difference between the input and output is termed the error signal. This error signal also demonstrates damped oscillatory behavior. Eventually, as the system reaches a steady state, the error diminishes to zero.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is an advanced 3D breast imaging technique.
  • Variations in DBT system acquisition and processing can influence image quality and patient radiation dose.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and compare the technical performance of five leading DBT systems.
  • Assess image quality parameters across different DBT manufacturers and modes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized four quality assurance phantoms for standardized phantom measurements.
  • Assessed technical image quality including artefact extent, in-plane resolution (MTF analysis), noise power spectrum, and geometric accuracy.

Main Results:

  • Artefact spread varied significantly, with FWHM ranging from 3.5 mm to 10.7 mm.
  • Observed in-plane resolution anisotropy; MTF50 values differed between tube travel and chest wall-nipple directions.
  • Distinct differences in noise power spectra and high geometric accuracy (within 0.5%) were noted across systems.

Conclusions:

  • Technical image quality assessments using phantoms highlight substantial differences among DBT systems.
  • Variations in artefact spread, in-plane resolution, and noise properties necessitate careful system selection.
