The optimal method calculating the fractal dimension of a machined surface profile is
discussed in this paper. Through the analysis of the results calculated by use of the Weiestrass-…

Background The heart-to-mediastinum ratio (HMR) of 123 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG)
showed variations among institutions and needs to be standardized among various …

As a 2-year project of the Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine working group activity,
normal myocardial imaging databases were accumulated and summarized. Stress-rest with …

Background We have developed novel software for semi-automatically measuring heart-to-mediastinum
(H/M) ratio in cardiac Iodine-123 ( 123 I)-labeled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (…

Purpose This study was performed to demonstrate that the results obtained with a calibration
phantom could be used as a tool for standardizing measurement of heart to mediastinum (H…

Purpose Left ventricular (LV) phase dyssynchrony parameters based on gated myocardial
perfusion imaging varied among software programs. The aim of this study was to determine …

Purpose Artificial neural networks (ANN) might help to diagnose coronary artery disease.
This study aimed to determine whether the diagnostic accuracy of an ANN-based diagnostic …

Purpose A high‐energy‐resolution whole‐body SPECT‐CT device (NM/CT 870 CZT; C‐SPECT)
equipped with a CZT detector has been developed and is being used clinically. A …

The paper deals with experimental and theoretical analyses of the thermal deformation of
cutting tool and workpiece due to the cutting heat and its effect on the machining accuracy in …

Aim Planar myocardial 123 I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine ( 123 I-mIBG) scintigraphy is a
highly reproducible technique. However, differences in collimator use are one of the most …
