The use of inclined hemisphere projections for analyzing failure mechanisms in discontinuous rocks

This paper demonstrates the advantages of using inclined stereographic projections in kinematic analysis of rock blocks in discontinuous rock masses. Some examples of limiting cases are presented. The application of inclined projections is illustrated by its use in a mine slope in Brazil. It is clear from the discussion of these examples that inclined hemisphere projections provide better results than horizontal projections. It is also demonstrated that horizontal projections can lead to incorrect results in limiting cases.     

双平板多功能核医学成像系统几何校正方法研究

双平板多功能核医学成像系统是一套既能够进行正电子发射断层扫描成像(PET)又可以进行单光子发射成像(γ相机)的"一机多用"设备。该系统采用平行双平板结构,通过可移动式准直器组合实现PET模式和γ相机模式的切换。鉴于这一工作模式需求,同时考虑到设备装配过程中的机械精度等因素,系统的几何结构参数校准及与成像过程配套的几何校正变得尤为重要。本文基于双平板多功能核医学成像系统,研究系统几何偏移对图像质量的影响,并对这些误差因素进行参数化表征,建立一套几何参数校正方法。基于蒙特卡洛模拟数据的验证表明,该方法有效可行,流程简洁。
