Optic Nerve Sheath Measurement on Ultrasound: A Novel Diagnostic Test for Giant Cell Arteritis.
ACR Open Rheumatol
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of optic nerve ultrasound to measure optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as a potential diagnostic tool for giant cell arteritis (GCA).
- Patients with GCA showed significantly larger ONSD compared to those without the condition, suggesting that ultrasound could serve as a quick bedside test for GCA diagnosis.
- Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm these results and explore if ONSD could act as a biomarker for GCA disease activity.
Optimization of detector positioning in the radioactive particle tracking technique.
Appl Radiat Isot
July 2014
The radioactive particle tracking (RPT) technique is a non-intrusive experimental velocimetry and tomography technique extensively applied to the study of hydrodynamics in a great variety of systems. In this technique, arrays of scintillation detector are used to track the motion of a single radioactive tracer particle emitting isotropic γ-rays. This work describes and applies an optimization strategy developed to find an optimal set of positions for the scintillation detectors used in the RPT technique.
