Magnetic Properties of Amorphous Ta/CoFeB/MgO/Ta Thin Films on Deformable Substrates with Magnetic Field Angle and Tensile Strain.

Recently, the application of cobalt iron boron (CoFeB) thin films in magnetic sensors has been widely studied owing to their high magnetic moment, anisotropy, and stability. However, most of these studies were conducted on rigid silicon substrates. For diverse applications of magnetic and angle sensors, it is important to explore the properties of ferromagnetic thin films grown on nonrigid deformable substrates.

Intraoperative Real-Time Localization of Normal Parathyroid Glands With Autofluorescence Imaging.

Context: This biomedical investigation is valuable for identification and localization of parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy, which can provide an intraoperative real-time visual guidance.

Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate the feasibility of real-time autofluorescence imaging of the parathyroid glands without exogenous contrast dye for their localization and demonstration of relation to the background tissues.

Setting: This research was undertaken at Kosin University Gospel Hospital.
