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...

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...
Sampling Methods: Overview01:06

Sampling Methods: Overview

A sample refers to a smaller subset representative of a larger population. In analytical chemistry, studying or analyzing an entire population is often impractical or impossible. Therefore, samples are used to draw inferences and generalize the whole population. The sampling method selects individuals or items from a population to create a sample. Standard sampling methods include random, judgemental, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling. 
In analytical chemistry, the choice of sampling...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Medical Technology
  • Optical Engineering

Background:

  • 3D Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) image acquisition involves scanning and concatenating multiple A-mode and B-mode scans to reconstruct tissue layers.
  • Current OCT methods require substantial data acquisition, leading to lengthy scan times.
  • Accurate reconstruction of tissue interfaces is crucial for diagnostic imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the application of Compressive Sampling (CS) for reconstructing 3D OCT images from sparsely sampled data.
  • To evaluate the impact of CS reconstruction on image quality and diagnostic accuracy.
  • To explore the potential for reducing OCT acquisition time without compromising clinical measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Compressive Sampling (CS) techniques to reconstruct full 3D OCT volumes from a subset of acquired data.
  • Employed various sub-sampling schemes to acquire sparse data.
  • Reconstructed images by exploiting the inherent sparsity of OCT data in a specific transform domain.
  • Assessed the quality of reconstructed images and their impact on morphometric measurements of the optic nerve head.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated accurate reconstruction of 3D OCT images using Compressive Sampling (CS) with minimal quality degradation.
  • Showed negligible effects on clinically relevant morphometric measurements of the optic nerve head in CS-reconstructed images.
  • Validated the effectiveness of CS in reducing the amount of data needed for high-quality 3D OCT imaging.

Conclusions:

  • Compressive Sampling (CS) offers a viable method for accelerating 3D OCT image acquisition.
  • Reconstructed OCT images retain diagnostic utility for quantitative analysis of the optic nerve head.
  • This approach has the potential to significantly decrease OCT scan times and may be applicable to other imaging modalities like ultrasound and MRI.
