Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Continuous -time Fourier Transform

Continuous -time Fourier Transform

The Fourier series is instrumental in representing periodic functions, offering a powerful method to decompose such functions into a sum of sinusoids. This technique, however, necessitates modification when applied to nonperiodic functions. Consider a pulse-train waveform consisting of a series of rectangular pulses. When these pulses have a finite period, they can be accurately represented by a Fourier series. Yet, as the period approaches infinity, resulting in a single, isolated pulse, the...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

To evaluate the performance of the proposed method against established compression techniques.

Main Methods:

Image segmentation based on local energy magnitude to group subblocks.
Formation of 3-D cuboids from subblocks of similar energy levels.
Application of 3-D DCT for individual compression of these cuboids.

Main Results:

Achieved bit rates below 0.25 bits per pixel at compression ratios exceeding 35.
Demonstrated superior reconstructed image quality compared to JPEG and other strategies.
Effective compression of medical images with high fidelity.

Conclusions:

The proposed 3-D DCT coder offers a significant improvement in medical image compression.
The method provides a balance between high compression ratios and excellent image quality.
