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...
Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview01:13

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to study the composition of materials. It is widely employed in chemistry, materials science, forensic science, and other fields where sample characterization is required. ATR has several advantages over traditional transmission IR spectroscopy, including the requirement of little to no sample preparation and the ability to analyze a wide range of samples.
The ATR process begins by directing a beam...

    Summary

    Atmospheric mode decomposition optimizes imaging systems. A channel-matched filter receiver achieves near-perfect, diffraction-limited performance, even without prior channel knowledge using specific techniques.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics
    • Signal Processing
    • Atmospheric Science

    Background:

    • Atmospheric turbulence degrades imaging system performance.
    • Mode decomposition offers a potential method to mitigate these effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To apply recent atmospheric mode decomposition results to an idealized imaging problem.
    • To evaluate the performance of a receiver with a priori knowledge of the channel impulse response.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of atmospheric mode decomposition techniques.
    • Analysis of a channel-matched filter receiver.
    • Investigation of transmitted reference techniques for systems without a priori knowledge.

    Main Results:

    • The channel-matched filter receiver demonstrates near-optimal performance.
