Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

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...

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...

Main Methods:

Developed a new filtered backprojection algorithm tailored for 3-Pi helical CT acquisition.
Analyzed the connection between the Katsevich method and radon inversion.
Introduced and applied the concept of 'quasiexactness' for 3-Pi acquisitions.

Main Results:

The proposed algorithm utilizes similar filters to Katsevich's but with modified filter line parameters.
Demonstrated that the algorithm is 'quasiexact' for 3-Pi acquisitions.
Simulation results indicate excellent image quality.

Conclusions:

The new algorithm provides a quasiexact reconstruction for 3-Pi helical CT data.
It offers an effective alternative for improving image quality in specific CT acquisition scenarios.
The method maintains computational efficiency comparable to existing techniques.
