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...

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...

Divergence Theorem in 3D Space

Divergence Theorem in 3D Space

In vector calculus, flux measures the total flow of a vector field through a surface. For a closed surface in three-dimensional space, this means measuring how much of the field passes outward through every point on the boundary. Directly calculating this flux can be difficult when the surface has a complicated or irregular shape. The Divergence Theorem provides a powerful alternative by relating surface flux to behavior inside the enclosed region.The Divergence Theorem states that the outward...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

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...

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for k_a Estimation

This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Maximizing the Directional Derivative

Maximizing the Directional Derivative

The directional derivative is a central concept in multivariable calculus that describes how a function changes at a given point when moving in a specified direction. This direction is represented by a unit vector, ensuring that only the orientation influences the rate of change. By varying the direction, different rates of change can be observed, demonstrating that the directional derivative depends strongly on the chosen direction.The directional derivative is computed using the gradient...
