X-ray position-sensitive duo-lateral diamond detectors at SOLEIL.

Journal of synchrotron radiation

Desjardins K, Bordessoule M, Pomorski M.
PMID: 29488918
J Synchrotron Radiat. 2018 Mar 01;25:399-406. doi: 10.1107/S1600577517016769. Epub 2018 Feb 07.

The performance of a diamond X-ray beam position monitor is reported. This detector consists of an ionization solid-state chamber based on a thin single-crystal chemical-vapour-deposition diamond with position-sensitive resistive electrodes in a duo-lateral configuration. The detector's linearity, homogeneity and...

A Greenhouse Gas and Soil Carbon Model for Estimating the Carbon Footprint of Livestock Production in Canada.

Animals : an open access journal from MDPI

Vergé XP, Dyer JA, Worth DE, Smith WN, Desjardins RL, McConkey BG.

AUTO-ENCODING OF DISCRIMINATING MORPHOMETRY FROM CARDIAC MRI.

Proceedings. IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging

Ye DH, Desjardins B, Ferrari V, Metaxas D, Pohl KM.
PMID: 28593032
Proc IEEE Int Symp Biomed Imaging. 2014 Apr-May;2014:217-221. doi: 10.1109/ISBI.2014.6867848. Epub 2014 Jul 31.

We propose a fully-automatic morphometric encoding targeted towards differentiating diseased from healthy cardiac MRI. Existing encodings rely on accurate segmentations of each scan. Segmentation generally includes labour-intensive editing and increases the risk associated with intra- and inter-rater variability. Our...
