Ionosphere tomography based on spaceborne SAR

Two models of ionosphere tomography based on spaceborne SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) are proposed. For HF-SAR the signal with sweeping frequency lower than the characteristic frequency of ionosphere will be scatted during the ionosphere propagation and completely reflected at a corresponding height. The ionospheric electron density isolines looked as series of random surfaces can be reconstructed from the HF-SAR echoes by using the inverse scattering technique for layered rough surfaces and the method of moment (MoM). The numerical simulation show that due to the MoM can provide a full wave solution, the ionosphere tomography with high resolution can be obtained as long as enough sampling data of HF-SAR echoes are used. For VHF/UHF/P/L-band SAR the TEC (Total Electron Content) can be obtained from the SAR echoes scattered by some strong point targets (such as the calibrators, etc.) appeared in the SAR imaged ground region, and the ionosphere tomography can be performed by CT technique.     

用CT值推导人体组织属性参数的方法及改进

蒙特卡罗方法是计算精度最高的人体组织剂量计算方法。常见的蒙特卡罗模拟程序,如M CNP,EG S4等都自带了各种介质的截面数据,而剂量计算的一个重要步骤就是得到人体组织的属性参数——质量密度和化学组成。本文主要介绍了两种根据医学影像CT值推导人体组织属性参数的方法——区间法和两分法,并经过分析比较认为两分法比区间法具有更高的精确度和可行性。同时,针对两分法存在的不足和缺陷,本文将CT值全范围划分为七段,根据两分法的假设条件假设每一段均由两种不同的人体组织混合而成。在每一段CT值范围内,人体组织的质量密度和化学组成通过对两种假定物质参数的拟合得到。结果说明该方法所得到的人体组织属性参数完全可以满足蒙特卡罗人体组织剂量计算的要求。
