Simulated and measured optical coherence tomography images of human enamel

opticsinfobase.org Jul 27 2012 Dentistry

Optical coherence tomography images of human enamel were simulated and compared to measured images. A Monte Carlo code was implemented, which considered the microstructure of enamel. The prisms, the main scattering structures of the enamel, were described by oscillating cylinders whose scattering functions were obtained by solutions of Maxwell’s equations. The essential features of the measured images including the Hunter–Schreger bands could be explained by the simulations.

Pigtail Catheter is exclusively used for abscess drainage such as bile, urine or pancreatic fluids. Only trained man power only should install and use Pigtail Catheter in order to avoid injuries in the track. A range of Polymers are used for the construction of Pigtail Catheters including silicone rubber, latex, and thermoplastic elastomers. The most common material for manufacturing Pigtail Catheter is silicone because it is inert and un reactive to body fluids and a range of medical fluids with which it might come into contact.
