| Abstract | The prototype imaging system developed can perform simultaneous X-ray transmission CT (computed tomography) and SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) studies of phantoms and small animals. This system uses a small linear detector array which consists of a single high-purity-germanium crystal segmented by ion-implantation into 23 2-mm elements. The detector array and its associated electronics can sustain count rates up to 10/sup 6/ cps/element while maintaining sufficient energy resolution to discriminate between X-rays at tube potentials of 100-120 kV and higher-energy gamma -rays from /sup 99m/Tc and /sup 123/I. The data acquisition system supports two energy windows per channel and may be used for emission-transmission or dual-energy X-ray imaging. Initial studies have demonstrated that X-ray CT and SPECT images acquired with this device are spatially correlated and may be superimposed to localize the SPECT image on the transmission map. Preliminary data also show that it is possible to use dual-energy X-ray CT to derive an object-specific attenuation map at the radionuclide energy. This attenuation map may then be incorporated into an iterative reconstruction algorithm to yield significant improvements in SPECT quantitation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
