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...

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...

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...

Discrete Fourier Transform

Discrete Fourier Transform

The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is a fundamental tool in signal processing, extending the discrete-time Fourier transform by evaluating discrete signals at uniformly spaced frequency intervals. This transformation converts a finite sequence of time-domain samples into frequency components, each representing complex sinusoids ordered by frequency. The DFT translates these sequences into the frequency domain, effectively indicating the magnitude and phase of each frequency component present...

Background:

Gated acquisition in medical imaging reduces motion blur but lowers signal-to-noise ratio.
Cardiac SPECT imaging is particularly susceptible to noise from gating and other factors.

Purpose of the Study:

To improve the accuracy of gated SPECT cardiac imaging by addressing noise reduction.

Main Methods:

Proposed a reconstruction method utilizing DFT basis functions to model temporal activity at each spatial location.
Reconstructed gated images by determining coefficients of the Fourier representation.
Explored penalized least-square and maximum a posteriori reconstruction algorithms.
Evaluated the approach using Monte Carlo simulated SPECT imaging and clinical data.

Main Results:

The proposed DFT-basis function approach demonstrated improved accuracy in gated image reconstruction.
Quantitative evaluation using simulations confirmed the benefits of the method.
Preliminary tests on clinical data showed promising results.

Conclusions:

Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) basis functions offer a viable strategy for enhancing gated image reconstruction accuracy.
This method shows potential for improving the quality of cardiac SPECT imaging affected by gating-induced noise.
