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...
Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane

Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Acoustic Physics

Background:

  • Thermoacoustic signal generation depends on tissue properties and electric fields.
  • De-ionized water is ideal for thermoacoustics due to minimal wave loss.
  • Accurate characterization of thermoacoustic contrast is crucial for imaging applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and validate a water-filled testbed for controlled electric field propagation.
  • To investigate the relationship between power loss in objects and thermoacoustic signal strength.
  • To enable quantitative analysis of thermoacoustic contrast mechanisms in ex vivo tissues.

Main Methods:

  • A water-filled testbed was engineered to control electric field parameters (pulse shape, power, polarization).
  • Directional couplers were used to measure incident, reflected, and transmitted power.
  • S-parameters and electric field measurements confirmed uniform field distribution.
  • Power loss in test objects was measured to correlate with thermoacoustic signal strength.

Main Results:

  • The electric field distribution within the testbed was found to be relatively uniform.
  • Power loss measurements in test objects directly correlate with thermoacoustic signal strength.
  • Object orientation relative to electric field polarization significantly impacts power loss and signal strength.

Conclusions:

  • The developed testbed facilitates quantitative characterization of thermoacoustic contrast.
  • Electric field polarization is a critical factor influencing thermoacoustic signal generation.
  • This work advances the development of thermoacoustic computerized tomography for tissue analysis.
