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...

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...

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to study the composition of materials. It is widely employed in chemistry, materials science, forensic science, and other fields where sample characterization is required. ATR has several advantages over traditional transmission IR spectroscopy, including the requirement of little to no sample preparation and the ability to analyze a wide range of samples.
The ATR process begins by directing a beam...

Background:

Terahertz tomography is valuable for non-destructive imaging but is limited by long measurement times due to extensive data acquisition on 2D grids.
Reducing measurement duration is critical for practical applications of terahertz tomography.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel fast terahertz reflection tomography technique.
To reduce acquisition time and computational cost without sacrificing image quality.

Main Methods:

Implementation of block-based compressed sensing directly in the spatial domain to decrease sampling points.
Development of an overlap-average method to mitigate block artifacts inherent in block-based reconstruction.

Main Results:

The proposed method significantly reduces measurement time in terahertz tomography.
Block-based compressed sensing with the overlap-average method achieves substantial computational time reduction.
Image quality is maintained despite the reduction in sampling points and computational load.

Conclusions:

Block-based compressed sensing offers an effective strategy for accelerating terahertz reflection tomography.
The developed technique successfully demonstrates fast and high-quality imaging of complex samples like integrated circuits and biological specimens.
