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 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...

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 Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy01:18

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
  • Computational modeling

Background:

  • Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a functional imaging technique.
  • Its development relies on model-based image reconstruction.
  • Reconstructing optical parameters from boundary measurements is challenging due to the nonlinear, ill-posed, and ill-conditioned nature of the problem.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review model-based image reconstruction methods in DOT.
  • To discuss numerical modeling of light propagation in tissue.
  • To explore the use of prior information and advanced systems for improving DOT.

Main Methods:

  • Review of model-based image reconstruction techniques for DOT.
  • Discussion of numerical modeling approaches for light propagation.
  • Analysis of generalized reconstruction using boundary data.
  • Exploration of spatial and structural prior information integration.

Main Results:

  • Near-infrared signals in DOT offer high contrast but suffer from poor spatial resolution.
  • Model-based reconstruction is crucial for DOT development.
  • Spatial and structural prior information can enhance image quality.

Conclusions:

  • Advanced DOT systems and the incorporation of spectral and dual-modality information can significantly improve image contrast and spatial resolution.
  • Further research into model-based reconstruction and prior information is essential for advancing DOT as a functional imaging modality.
