Evaluation of the possibility of detecting cracks during the control of luminescence on turbine blades after application of complex heat-resistant coatings by Konstantin Balushok, Oleksandr Seliverstov, Oleksandr Prokopenko, Sergii Sakhno

“…Despite their high properties in terms of corrosion resistance and heat resistance, the service life of GTD blades and their protection against oxidation and corrosion damage is ensured by applying coatings using various technologies both to the flowing surface of the blade blades (heat-resistant and heat-protective) and to the inner surfaces of the cooled channels (diffusion coatings). Failure of turbine blades is one of the most severe types of damage to turbine blades, so at different stages of serial production, including after applying heat-resistant coatings, LUM1-OV inspection of blades is performed to detect cracks that can form during processing and lead to their failure during engine operation. …”

Contribution of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) imaging in the detection of underlying carcinoma in a woman with nonspecific mastitis by Hancerliogulları Oguz, Ince Semra, Senocak Rahman, Ilgan Seyfettin, Arslan Nuri

“…Mammography (MG) and ultrasonography (US) have low sensitivity and specificity in dense breasts in order to detect malignancy. On the other hand, malignant mass lesions can also be masked on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by diffuse inflammatory process. 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) imaging can be a promising alternative imaging method in the evaluation of suspicious breast masses, especially in patients with accompanying inflammatory breast diseases. …”
