NUCLEAR HEATING MEASUREMENTS BY GAMMA AND NEUTRON THERMOMETERS

Nuclear heating measurements by gamma and neutron thermometers

A gamma thermometer suitable for very high gamma heating levels (up to 20 W/g) has been designed and modelled by means of detailed finite element calculations.Based on a sensitivity analysis, the predicted accuracy of this gamma thermometer is better than 5 %.A novel miniaturized gamma thermometer is proposed in which a single thermocouple luhta he

Atypical exophytic liver mass: Giant pedunculated hepatic haemangioma masquerading as a gastrointestinal stromal tumour of the gastric wall

Haemangioma is the most common benign tumour of the liver.However, an exophytic hepatic haemangioma, especially the pedunculated form, is very rare.Giant pedunculated haemangiomas are prone to complications because of the narrow size of the pedicle.A large number of lesions can potentially present as exophytic liver masses, and accurate diagnosis c
