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...

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...

Area of Science:

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Medical Imaging
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Computer-assisted planning is crucial for orthognathic surgery.
Traditional two-dimensional (2D) cephalometric analysis has limitations.
Three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric analysis offers potential advancements.

Purpose of the Study:

To adapt Delaire's 2D cephalometric analysis into a 3D method.
To validate the accuracy and reproducibility of this 3D method.
To compare 3D computed tomography (CT) surface renderings with traditional profile X-rays.

Main Methods:

Transformed Delaire's 2D analysis into a 3D method (ACRO 3D software).
Evaluated inter- and intra-observer reproducibility on 26 dry skulls using profile X-rays and 3D CT.
Assessed accuracy of 3D CT measurements against direct 3D measurements on dry skulls.

Main Results:

3D CT method demonstrated significantly superior inter- and intra-observer reproducibility (p<0.0001).
No significant accuracy differences were found between ACRO 3D software and a 3D measuring instrument.
ACRO 3D software proved reliable for 3D cephalometric analysis.

Conclusions:

The developed 3D cephalometric analysis using CT is a reliable tool.
This 3D method offers significant improvements over 2D X-rays for orthognathic surgery planning.
Clinical validation of the 3D CT craniofacial cephalometric method is recommended for future research.
