X-ray Imaging

X-ray Imaging

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with X-rays, and by 1900, X-ray was widely...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Imaging Studies II: Positron Emission Tomography and Scintigraphy

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Background:

Single-pinhole cameras have limitations in achieving high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for starlike sources.
X-ray and gamma-ray imaging require specialized techniques to overcome low photon flux and achieve sufficient SNR.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a method for synthesizing high-SNR images from multiple-pinhole camera recordings.
To improve imaging capabilities for starlike sources at X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a multiple-pinhole camera design.
Applying the extended-source Fourier-transform holography method.
Recording multiple images at X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths.

Main Results:

Successful synthesis of an image with considerably increased SNR compared to single-pinhole camera images.
Demonstration of the effectiveness of extended-source Fourier-transform holography for multiple-pinhole imaging.

Conclusions:

The proposed multiple-pinhole camera system combined with extended-source Fourier-transform holography offers a significant SNR improvement for imaging starlike sources.
This technique provides a viable solution for enhanced astronomical and medical imaging in the X-ray and gamma-ray spectrum.
