Evaluation of Mitral Regurgitation Using Fluid Structure Interaction
In this study, mitral regurgitation was investigated using fluid-structure interaction method in 3 dimensions. The fluid-structure interaction modeling technique has been widely used for a wide range of applications in bioengineering sciences. However, despite all these advances, such studies in the field of cardiovascular complications are still limited, and the need for further research and studies seems necessary. Using these methods, the results can be obtained without the need for complex laboratory devices and systems and without spending a lot of time and money and only by modeling the behavior of the mitral valve. ...

Discrimination of Multiclass Motor Imagery-Based Brain-Computer Interface
In this study, we aimed to develop an algorithm that is capable of differentiating between 4 MI movements. To achieve this, the Data Set IIa A from BCI competition IV was used to test the algorithm. We used independent component analysis (ICA) to preprocess the signal and wavelet technique to decompose the obtained signal into the desired frequency bands. We then inserted these as common spatial pattern (CSP) input, maximizing the variance between 2 classes using the 1-versus-1 (OVO) technique. Afterward, the support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to obtain the best possible separation between the 2 classes. The o...

Acquiring and Implementing High-Cost and Complex Imaging Modalities
Large medical centers go through an extensive process for several key service departments to acquire imaging modalities. One such project involved the evaluation, planning, implementation, and go-live of a new mobile magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for a newly built outpatient clinic. My role in this project was to lead the full procurement and installation process of the mobile MRI. The customer for this project was the radiology service at the new outpatient clinic. The radiology staff hopes to use the new mobile MRI to increase their overall patient caseload over the next several years and provide a much-needed service...

Computed Tomography Diagnostic Reference Levels for Brain, Chest, and Abdominal/Pelvis Examinations: Review and Analysis
Radiation dosage variance is one of the topics that arise when dealing with computed tomography (CT) devices within medical imaging centers. In this article, a review was done to enlighten the causes of such dosage variance and the degree of variation for pediatric patients. The article focuses on the diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for the brain, chest, and abdomen CT images. The reviewed studies were categorized depending on the type of the cases of pediatric patients, which include head, chest, and abdominal examinations. There were 9 studies using human data, 1 with phantom data, and 2 with combined human and phanto...
