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 II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Science

Background:

  • Traditional electrical impedance tomography (EIT) reconstruction algorithms often smooth out important physiological discontinuities.
  • Preserving sharp contrasts is crucial for accurate in vivo imaging of physiological processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the suitability of total variation (TV) functional regularization for EIT image reconstruction.
  • To compare TV regularization methods against traditional approaches for in vivo physiological imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Implementing and detailing two TV regularization methods: lagged diffusivity and primal-dual interior point method (PD-IPM).
  • Analyzing algorithm performance using noisy simulated data.
  • Reconstructing in vivo EIT images for ventilation and gastric emptying.

Main Results:

  • TV regularization effectively preserves discontinuities, unlike traditional quadratic regularization methods.
  • The explored TV methods demonstrate suitability for in vivo EIT imaging.
  • Reconstructed images show improved contrast and sharper boundaries.

Conclusions:

  • TV regularization offers superior performance for EIT image reconstruction, particularly in preserving sharp contrasts.
  • The lagged diffusivity and PD-IPM methods are viable for TV-based EIT reconstruction.
  • This approach advances in vivo physiological monitoring using EIT.
