Computed Tomography

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...

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...

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:

Medical Imaging
Computed Tomography (CT)

Context:

Medical CT scanners are transitioning from fan-beam to cone-beam geometry.
Existing cone-beam algorithms face challenges with image quality and artifacts.

Purpose:

To introduce a novel cone-beam pseudo Lambda tomography (LT) algorithm.
To enhance image reconstruction in cone-beam CT (CBCT).

Summary:

The proposed algorithm integrates Noo's fan-beam super-short scan formula within the FDK framework.
It bypasses PI line computation and differential operations for simpler implementation.
The pseudo-LT algorithm demonstrates improved image resolution and artifact reduction compared to traditional methods, even with noisy data.

Impact:

Offers a practical solution for improving CBCT image quality.
Potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging.
Facilitates more efficient and effective CT scanner development.
