Physical properties of a position-sensitive camera for the analysis of biodistributions of gamma- and beta-emitting radiopharmaceuticals in small animals have been studied, in order to achieve optimal operating conditions. The camera consisted of a highly segmented yttrium-aluminate perovskite (YAP) scintillator, coupled to a position-sensitive photomultiplier. The energy resolution, the detection efficiency, the spatial resolution, the spatial linearity and the count-rate linearity of the YAP camera have been determined. Images related to initial activity levels and successive biodistribution evolution in mice organs are presented as an illustration of the camera performance.

Performance testing of gamma cameras and single photon computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) systems is not subject to regulatory requirements across states and territories in Australia. Internationally recognised testing standards from organisations such as the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) describe methodologies for recommended tests. However, variations exist in suggested quality control (QC) schedules from professional bodies such as the Australia and New Zealand Society of Nuclear Medicine (ANZSNM).

To unveil its imaging mechanism, we present an angular-focal-spatial representation model, which decomposes high-dimensional MFMV data into angular, spatial, and focal dimensions. To construct a comprehensive MFMV dataset, we leverage representative imaging prototypes, including digital camera imaging, emerging plenoptic refocusing, and synthesized Blender 3D creation.

With the advances in current technology, hand gesture recognition has gained considerable attention. It has been extended to recognize more distinctive movements, such as a signature, in human-computer interaction (HCI) which enables the computer to identify a person in a non-contact acquisition environment. This application is known as in-air hand gesture signature recognition.

Prompt secondary electron bremsstrahlung X-ray (prompt X-ray) imaging using a low-energy X-ray camera is a promising method for observing a beam shape from outside the subject. However, such imaging has so far been conducted only for pencil beams without a multi-leaf collimator (MLC). The use of spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) with an MLC may increase the scattered prompt gamma photons and decrease the contrast of the images of prompt X-rays.

Foot ulcers are common complications of diabetes mellitus and substantially increase the morbidity and mortality due to this disease. Wound care by regular monitoring of the progress of healing with clinical review of the ulcers, dressing changes, appropriate antibiotic therapy for infection and proper offloading of the ulcer are the cornerstones of the management of foot ulcers. Assessing the progress of foot ulcers can be a challenge for the clinician and patient due to logistic issues such as regular attendance in the clinic.
