Attenuation correction for dedicated breast PET using only emission data based on consistency conditions

Accurate attenuation correction is required in dedicated breast PET imaging systems for image artifact removal and quantitative studies. In this study, a method using only emission data based on consistency conditions is proposed for attenuation correction in breast PET imaging systems. The consistency conditions are exploited to evaluate the accuracy of the estimated attenuation distribution and find the appropriate parameters that yield the most consistent attenuation distribution with the measured emission data. We have proved the validity of the method with experimental investigations and single-patient studies using a dedicated breast PET. The results show that the method is capable of accurately estimating the attenuation distribution of a uniform attenuator from the experimental data with various relatively low activities. The results also show that in single-patient studies, the method is robust for the irregular boundary of breast tissue and provides a distinct improvement in image quality.     

Mixing between the 23S1 and 13D1Ds

Mixing between the 23S1 and 13D1Ds is studied within the 3P0 model. If mixing between these two 1 states exists, Ds1* （2700） ± and DsJ*（2860）± could be interpreted as the two orthogonal mixed states with mixing angle θ≈-80 °in the case of a special β for each meson. However, in the case of a universal β for all mesons, D_s1^*（2700） ± could be interpreted as the mixed state of 23S1 and 13D1 with mixing angle 12° < θ < 21° but D_sJ^*（2860）± seems difficult to interpret as the orthogonal partner of D_s1^*（2700）±.     

Hard X-ray one dimensional nano-focusing at the SSRF using a WSi2 /Si multilayer Laue lens

The multilayer Laue lens (MLL) is a novel diffraction optics which can realize nanometer focusing of hard X-rays with high efficiency. In this paper, a 7.9 μm-thick MLL with the outmost layer thickness of 15 nm is designed based on dynamical diffraction theory. The MLL is fabricated by first depositing the depth-graded multilayer using direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering technology. Then, the multilayer sample is sliced, and both cross-sections are thinned and polished to a depth of 35-41 μm. The focusing property of the MLL is measured at the Shanghai Synchrotron Facility (SSRF). One-dimensional (1D) focusing resolutions of 205 nm and 221 nm are obtained at E=14 keV and 18 keV, respectively. It demonstrates that the fabricated MLL can focus hard X-rays into nanometer scale.     

Molecular dynamics simulation of latent track formation in α-quartz

The latent ion track in α-quartz is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The latent track is created by depositing electron energies into a cylindrical region with a radius of 3nm. In this study, the electron stopping power varies from 3.0keV/nm to 12.0keV/nm, and a continuous latent track is observed for all the simulated values of electron stopping power except 3.0keV/nm. The simulation results indicate that the threshold electron stopping power for a continous latent track lies between 3.0keV/nm and 3.7 keV/nm. In addition, the coordination defects produced in the latent track are analyzed for all the simulation conditions, and the results show that the latent track in α-quartz consists of an O-rich amorphous phase and Si-rich point defects. At the end of this paper, the influence of the energy deposition model on the latent track in α-quartz is investigated. The results indicate that different energy deposition models reveal similar latent track properties. However, the values of the threshold electron stopping power and the ion track radius are dependent on the choice of energy deposition model.     

Branching ratio and CP asymmetry of Bs→K0(1430)η(') decays in the PQCD approach

In the two-quark model supposition for K0*(1430), which can be viewed as either the first excited state (ScenarioⅠ) or the lowest lying state (Scenario Ⅱ), the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for decays s0 → K0*0(1430)η (’) are studied by employing the perturbative QCD factorization approach. We find the following results: (a) The CP averaged branching ratios ofs0 → K0*0 (1430)η ands0→ K0*0(1430)η’ are small and both in the order of 10-7 . If one views K0* (1430) as the lowest lying state, B(s0→K0*0(1430)η) ≈ 3.9×10-7 and B(s0→K0*0(1430)η’) ≈ 7.8×10-7.(b) While the direct CP-violating asymmetries of these two decays are not small: if we still take the parameters of K0* (1430) in scenario , ACPdir(s0→K0*0(1430)η) ≈ 56.2% and ACPdir(s0→ K0*0(1430)η’) ≈ 42.4%. (c) The annihilation contributions will play an important role in accounting for future data, because both the branching ratios and the direct CP asymmetries of these two decays are sensitive to the annihilation type contributions.

基于HVS的小波域信息隐藏方法

为了提高信息隐藏的不可感知性和鲁棒性,结合人眼视觉系统(HVS)的相关知识,提出了一种新的小波域信息隐藏算法。将载体图像的中等亮度区域设为不可用区域,不在该区域隐藏信息,同时选择在载体图像小波变换的高频系数细节子图隐藏信息,并优先选择在对角高频系数细节子图中隐藏。计算局部子块的方差值作为隐藏信息的嵌入系数,并通过计算高频子图的噪声敏感模型ωθ(i,j)决定隐藏信息的位置。充分考虑了人眼的各种视觉掩蔽效应,使得隐藏信息后的结果图像相比隐藏之前没有出现明显的降质。实验结果表明该方法能够有效提高信息隐藏的不可知性,达到了很好的隐藏效果,同时能够有效地抗击噪声、裁剪和压缩等攻击影响,具有很好的鲁棒性,在信息安全领域有较好的应用前景。
