PoD Analysis of Phased Array and Conventional Ultrasonic Techniques

2016-06-17
Non-Destructive Testing applications have broad usage area from the medical to heavy industries. Several advanced methods, mainly developed from the conventional methods, are used to render the technique more flexible and easier to interpret. Ultrasonic Phased array technology is one of them which can be employed in almost any test, where conventional Ultrasonic Testing (UT) has traditionally been used. Weld inspection, flaw detection and the wall thickness determination in corrosion surveys are the most important applications. The benefits of Phased Array technology over conventional UT come from its ability to use multiple elements to steer, focus and scan beams with a single transducer assembly. In this study, the advantages and limitations of the Phased Array system were investigated via using special test blocks of St37 and SAE 4140 (42CrMo4) steels having well-defined artificial defects. The reliabilities of the Phased Array and conventional Ultrasonic Testing methods were compared using a statistical approach, the Probability of Detection.

Quality Enhancement of Computed Tomography Images of Porous Media Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Yıldırım, Ertuğrul Umut; Uğur, Ömür; Glatz, Guenther; Department of Scientific Computing (2022-2-11)
Computed tomography has been widely used in clinical and industrial applications as a non-destructive visualization technology. The quality of computed tomography scans has a strong effect on the accuracy of the estimated physical properties of the investigated sample. X-ray exposure time is a crucial factor for scan quality. Ideally, long exposure time scans, yielding large signal-to-noise ratios, are available if physical properties are to be delineated. However, especially in micro-computed tomography ap...
Nanoparticles Based on Plasma Proteins for Drug Delivery Applications
Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek (2016-01-01)
Background: Nanoparticulate delivery systems receive a lot of attention in pharmaceutical research and market due to their in vivo stability, ability to protect entrapped drug, and ease of cellular penetration. The hemo-compatibility and the clearance half-life are important parameters of the nanodelivery systems that will be administered through intravenous route. Natural components, like blood plasma proteins are ideal sources of biomaterial for such systems with their long in vivo half-lives. Methods: Th...
Electronic Health Record standards - A brief overview
Eichelberg, M.; Aden, T.; Riesmeier, J.; Dogac, A.; Laleci Ertürkmen, Gökçe Banu (2006-12-12)
Most medical information systems store clinical information about patients in proprietary format.,, To address the resulting interoperability problems, several Electronic Health Record (EHR) standards that enable structured clinical content for the purpose of exchange are currently under development. In this article, we present a brief overview of the most relevant EHR standards, examine the level of hiteroperability they provide and assess their functionality in terms of content structure, access services,...
Dual and multi-stimuli responsive polymers for biomedical applications
Hasırcı, Nesrin (null, 2019-02-01)
Polymers are materials widely used in medical applications due to their wide variety, ease of processing, high diversity, and cost effectiveness. They can take the place of metals and ceramics in the production of medical devices such as, diagnostic systems, artificial organs, prostheses, micro-, and nano-drug carriers. They can be stimuli-responsive and intelligent if certain functional groups are either present in the main chain or introduced as copolymers, blends, or grafts. The functional groups have a ...
Adsorption of blood proteins on glow-discharge-modified polyurethane membranes
Kayirhan, N; Denizli, A; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2001-08-08)
Polyurethanes are a class of polymers that have a wide range of applications in the medical field although their blood compatibility still needs improvement. In order to obtain medical purity, this study prepared membrane-form polyurethanes from toluene 2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) and poly(propylene ethylene glycol) without the addition of any ingredients such as solvents, catalysts, or chain extenders. The aim was to increase surface hydrophilicity and improve blood compatibility. Therefore, the prepared membra...
