Computed Tomography01:10

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...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Area of Science:

  • Industrial imaging
  • Non-destructive testing
  • Computer-aided engineering

Background:

  • Traditional defect detection in industrial CT volumes relies on region growing, often requiring extensive manual parameter tuning.
  • Iterative adjustments to parameters like density, size, and variance are common, leading to inefficient workflows.
  • The need for a more interactive and less parameter-dependent approach is evident for complex industrial CT data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, visualization-driven method for interactive exploration, detection, classification, and quantification of features in industrial CT volumes.
  • To overcome the limitations of traditional region growing methods by decoupling parameter space exploration.
  • To enable efficient and intuitive analysis of defects in components like cast metal parts.

Main Methods:

  • A pre-processing stage computes a feature volume tracking feature size curves for each voxel over time.
  • A novel 3D transfer function domain is utilized, mapping (density, feature size, time) for interactive feature class exploration.
  • Features and their size curves can be explored individually, aiding in transfer function specification and artifact identification.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method allows for interactive exploration of the parameter space, independent of the region growing process.
  • A 3D transfer function enables intuitive classification of features based on density, feature size, and time.
  • Individual feature and feature size curve exploration facilitates accurate identification and exclusion of CT artifacts.

Conclusions:

  • The developed visualization-driven approach offers an efficient and interactive alternative for analyzing industrial CT volumes.
  • It significantly improves the process of detecting, classifying, and quantifying features, particularly in cast metal parts.
  • The method enhances the usability of CT data analysis by simplifying parameter tuning and providing intuitive exploration tools.
