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...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate head modeling is crucial for interpreting electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals.
  • Existing models often lack detailed anatomical accuracy or realistic tissue properties.
  • Integrating multi-modal imaging data can enhance model fidelity.

  • Numerical computation of the forward problem using the developed FEM head model.

Main Results:

  • Successful registration and reconstruction of a realistic, anatomically accurate FEM head model.
  • Validation of the model's rationality and reliability through forward problem simulations.
  • Demonstration of the model's capability for EEG/MEG data interpretation.

Conclusions:

  • The developed hexahedron meshing realistic head model, integrated with MRI data, is a reliable tool for EEG/MEG studies.
  • This approach offers significant potential for advancing future research in brain-computer interfaces and neuroimaging.
  • The methodology provides a robust framework for personalized head modeling in neurophysiological research.
