To address this, we propose a fast-scanning technique with limited projections and compare two reconstruction methods: Filtered Back Projection (FBP) and a combination of FBP with Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique (SIRT). The study was conducted on an industrial X-ray CT system at the Department of Physics, Universitas Gadjah Mada. A cylindrical water phantom (4” diameter) containing four solid inserts, aluminium, PTFE, graphite, and acrylic, was scanned using six different projection counts: 360, 180, 144, 108, 72, and 36. Each reconstruction result was evaluated against the reference image (360 projections) using mean square error (MSE), structural similarity index (SSIM), and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). SIRT-FBP produced smoother images with less noise (SNR ≥20.33 dB, SSIM ≈ 0.9), while FBP generated sharper but noisier results (SNR ≤17.20 dB, SSIM ≈ 0.6). MSE values also indicated higher accuracy for SIRT-FBP. However, SIRT-FBP required longer computation time (100 s) compared to FBP (45 s). Both methods showed significant quality degradation at 72 and 36 projections, with blurry and low-contrast images. Acceptable image quality was achieved with a minimum of 108 projections.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8096,"journal":{"name":"Applied Radiation and Isotopes","volume":"230 ","pages":"Article 112476"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146184846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employed a comprehensive multi-technique molecular analysis approach using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS), and Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) to investigate the performance gap between nanofiber-reinforced woven (NFW) and surface-coated (SC) nitrile gloves subjected to clinically-relevant radiation doses (10–25 kGy). The main finding revealed that NFW gloves achieve 2.5-fold longer service life than SC alternatives through superior molecular-level protection mechanisms. EPR spectroscopy showed SC gloves developed 61 % higher radical concentration than NFW gloves at 25 kGy (8.7 × 10<sup>17</sup> vs 5.4 × 10<sup>17</sup> spins/g), with NFW exhibiting superior radical stability (62 % retention at 168h versus 43 % for SC gloves). PALS demonstrated NFW's significantly lower Void Expansion Coefficient (0.07 vs 0.41 Å<sup>3</sup>/kGy), correlating with reduced oxygen diffusion rates (1.4 × 10<sup>−9</sup> vs 8.7 × 10<sup>−9</sup> cm<sup>2</sup>/s).

Three-dimensional woven integration provided extended Effective Protection Period of 42 months versus 17 months for surface-concentrated alternatives.

The modifications of the EC biomass were also carried out by chemical and physical methods, using NaOH (ECN) and carbonization (ECNC). Physicochemical characterization was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (ΧRD) analysis, surface area analysis, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to investigate the microstructure and active functional groups of ECN and ECNC, respectively. Batch experiments were conducted to compare the effectiveness of these sorbent materials in retaining Co(II). The comparison study was based on pH, sorbent material weight, metal ion concentrations, and contact time. Furthermore, kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic models were also examined to gain a better understanding of the sorption process, with maximum adsorption capacities to be 69.9 and 308.9 mg/g for ECN and ECNC, respectively. Finally, <sup>152</sup>+154Eu, <sup>134</sup>Cs, and <sup>60</sup>Co were employed to determine how competing metal ions affected the retention of Co(II) on a radioactive liquid waste sample.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8096,"journal":{"name":"Applied Radiation and Isotopes","volume":"230 ","pages":"Article 112480"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146155857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
