Abstract
Twenty-eight test plates (56%) exhibited growth of bacterial colonies on blood agar. Seventeen of those bacterial colonies were selected for growth on M-S agar, and 13 (76.47%) showed growth, 69% of them gram positive. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate reinforcing standard precautions of infection co...

Abstract
Diagnostic imaging techniques (DIxT) seem to be a useful tool for evaluating bone formation in both human and animal models. There is little evidence on the use of Soft X-Rays (sXR) with high-resolution films for studying the healing process in critical bone size defects (CSD). The aim of this study...

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, conventional radiography has been used to identify the structural damage associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). As other modalities have developed, however, the practice of assessing and monitoring JIA with radiographs has been questioned. OBJECTIVE: The purp...

Abstract
We found that certain mid-range consumer level digital SLR cameras using full-frame CMOS sensors outperform x-ray film in acquiring signals from immunoblots that use enhanced chemiluminescence for detection. These cameras exhibit a sensitivity comparable to x-ray film, yet provide a 3-fold increase...

Abstract
Although the half-value layer (HVL) is one of the important parameters for QA and QC, constant monitoring has not been performed because the measurements using an ionization chamber (IC) are time-consuming and complicated. To solve these problems, the use of radiochromic film (GAFCHROMIC XR TYPE R:...

Abstract
We found that, for a given set of processing parameters, the CNR was related to the plate air kerma and effective dose in a logarithmic manner (all R(2) >or=0.97). For imaging of the lung region, a low voltage (60 kVp) produced the highest CNR, whereas a high voltage (125 kVp) produced the highest T...
