Synthesis and Decomposition Reactions02:17

Synthesis and Decomposition Reactions

38.3K
Synthesis and decomposition are two types of redox reactions. Synthesis means to make something, whereas decomposition means to break something. The reactions are accompanied by chemical and energy changes.

X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

26.2K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

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

1.2K
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.

Analysis Methods of Pharmacokinetic Data: Model and Model-Independent Approaches

545
Drug disposition in the body is a complex process and can be studied using two major approaches: the model and the model-independent approaches.
The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...

What are Estimates?

8.8K
It isn't easy to measure a parameter such as the mean height or the mean weight of a population. So, we draw samples from the population and calculate the mean height or mean weight of the individuals in the sample. This sample data acts as a representative measure of the population parameter. These sample statistics are known as estimates. 
The estimate for the mean of a sample is denoted by ͞x, whereas the mean of the population is designated as μ. Further, parameters such...

X-ray Imaging

10.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Image Reconstruction
  • Computational Imaging

Background:

  • X-ray based tomographic blood perfusion imaging necessitates accurate recovery of contrast time-attenuation-curves from dynamic projection data.
  • Slowly rotating imaging systems present challenges due to nonsimultaneous projection acquisition, complicating dynamic reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a dynamic reconstruction method for X-ray perfusion imaging that compensates for nonsimultaneous data acquisition.
  • To incorporate prior knowledge of temporal contrast dynamics into an iterative reconstruction framework for improved accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • A model-based iterative reconstruction method was developed, integrating a decomposition model using temporal basis functions to approximate time-attenuation-curves.
  • The method utilizes standard forward-projections, backprojections, and scalar products for computational efficiency.
  • Regularization techniques, including early stopping of iterations and selection of smooth temporal basis functions, were employed to mitigate projection noise propagation.

Main Results:

  • The dynamic reconstruction method achieved high accuracy (approx. 2%) in recovering contrast time-attenuation-curves in noise-free phantom data.
  • Estimation errors for arterial time-attenuation-curves were around 8% due to faster dynamics.
  • Noise levels in reconstructed time-attenuation-curves were 3%-4% in tissue and below 1% in vessels with optimized regularization, demonstrating effective noise suppression.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed model-based iterative dynamic reconstruction method enables accurate recovery of contrast time-attenuation-curves for tissue perfusion assessment using slowly rotating X-ray systems.
  • The integrated regularization framework effectively minimizes projection noise, which is a primary factor affecting estimation accuracy in tissue regions.
