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...

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 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...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

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...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Medical Imaging
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Optical tomography parameters, like absorption and scattering coefficients, were previously used individually to detect rheumatoid arthritis in finger joints.
  • Single-parameter analysis showed limited diagnostic accuracy for rheumatoid arthritis detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the combined use of multiple optical tomography parameters for enhanced diagnostic accuracy in rheumatoid arthritis detection.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of Self-Organizing Mapping (SOM) in classifying combined parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Employed Self-Organizing Mapping (SOM), a vector quantization method, to classify combined optical tomography parameters.
  • Analyzed parameters including minimum, maximum, and ratios of absorption coefficients within regions of interest.
  • Generated multivariate Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves to determine sensitivity and specificity.

Main Results:

  • Certain parameter combinations improved sensitivity, while others enhanced specificity compared to single-parameter approaches.
  • The combination of three absorption parameters (max(μa), min(μa), and min(μa)/max(μa)) yielded the highest diagnostic accuracy.
  • This optimal combination achieved a sensitivity of 0.78, specificity of 0.76, Youden index of 0.54, and AUC of 0.72.

Conclusions:

  • Combining multiple optical tomography parameters, particularly absorption coefficients, significantly increases diagnostic accuracy for rheumatoid arthritis.
  • The SOM classification method effectively handles multivariate data for improved diagnostic performance.
  • The developed approach offers a more accurate non-invasive method for diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis compared to previous single-parameter techniques.
