Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging01:19

Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

421
DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

586
IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

11.8K
Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography

809
Cardiac imaging studies encompass a wide range of noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques designed to visualize the heart's structure and function in detail. One such technique is echocardiography, which uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce detailed images of the heart, known as echocardiograms.
Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion,...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Cardiovascular Research

Background:

  • Intravascular imaging is crucial for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases.
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high-resolution cross-sectional images of blood vessels.
  • Existing OCT methods are susceptible to motion artifacts, limiting their diagnostic accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a motion-artifact-robust method for intravascular optical coherence elastography (iOCE).
  • To assess the accuracy of the new iOCE technique in estimating tissue displacement and strain.
  • To demonstrate the capability of the technique in detecting localized high-strain regions in atherosclerotic plaques.

Main Methods:

  • A new intravascular iOCE method was developed, utilizing correlation between adjacent OCT lines.
  • Tissue deformation was induced by applying pressure synchronized with the OCT line scan rate.
  • The method's performance was validated using a simulation study.

Main Results:

  • The root mean square (rms) error for displacement estimation was 0.55 micrometers.
  • The rms error for strain estimation was 0.6%.
  • The technique successfully identified high-strain spots in simulated vessel walls, analogous to vulnerable atherosclerotic lesions.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed iOCE method offers robustness against motion artifacts.
  • The technique provides accurate measurements of tissue displacement and strain.
  • This advancement holds potential for improved detection and characterization of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in vivo.
