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...

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...

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...

  • To develop a novel optical projection tomography (OPT) technique using multiple-exposure high dynamic range (HDR) imaging.
  • To improve the resolution of 3D imaging for biological samples with heterogeneous absorption properties.

Main Methods:

  • Applied multiple-exposure high dynamic range (HDR) imaging to optical projection tomography (OPT).
  • Implemented a tomographic reconstruction algorithm accelerated by Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).
  • Tested the technique on zebrafish embryos without requiring chemical clearing.

Main Results:

  • Successfully resolved fine details in zebrafish embryos, demonstrating enhanced imaging capabilities.
  • Achieved a significant performance increase of two orders of magnitude in tomographic reconstruction speed using GPU acceleration.
  • Showcased the ability to image samples with highly heterogeneous absorption without complex sample preparation.

Conclusions:

  • The novel HDR-OPT technique effectively overcomes the dynamic range limitations of traditional OPT.
