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...

Area of Science:

Digital Image Processing
Medical Imaging
Signal Processing

Background:

Wavelet-based image compression is crucial for medical applications like ultrasound (US) and mammography (MG).
Selecting appropriate wavelet filters significantly impacts compression efficiency and image quality.
Existing wavelets, such as W9/7 used in JPEG2000, may not offer optimal performance for specific medical imaging modalities.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze and compare the performance of novel wavelet families derived from atomic functions against classic wavelets for US and MG image compression.
To identify the key wavelet properties that influence compression effectiveness in medical imaging.
To determine the most suitable wavelet filters for enhancing compression in ultrasound and mammography.

Main Methods:

Analysis of key wavelet properties: frequency response, approximation order, projection cosine, and Riesz bounds.
Comparison of classic wavelets (W9/7, Daubechies8, Symlet8) with novel Kravchenko-Rvachev wavelets based on atomic functions (up(t), fup(2)(t), eup(t)).
Experimental validation of wavelet performance in compressing ultrasound and mammography images.

Main Results:

Novel Kravchenko-Rvachev wavelets demonstrated significantly better compression performance than classic wavelets.
The study identified specific wavelet properties correlating with superior compression efficiency for medical images.
Experimental results confirmed the enhanced performance of the novel wavelets.

Conclusions:

Wavelets based on atomic functions offer a substantial improvement for ultrasound and mammography image compression.
The findings provide valuable insights for selecting optimal wavelet filters in medical image processing.
This research paves the way for more efficient medical imaging compression techniques.
