Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and the...

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...

Area of Science:

Radiology and Medical Imaging
Image Processing
Computational Pathology

Background:

Describing textural features in radiological images is challenging for radiologists.
Image processing offers a solution to quantify and analyze these complex textures.
Current methods may lack integration into routine clinical workflows.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and integrate texture analysis software into a standard radiological workstation.
To demonstrate the utility of texture analysis in clinical practice.
To facilitate the use of texture analysis beyond research applications.

Main Methods:

Developed texture analysis software using C++ with a graphical user interface.
Integrated the software into a Siemens radiological workstation.
Employed a three-step method: primitive element definition, counting, and statistical analysis.

Main Results:

The software allows texture analysis on any radiological image by defining a region of interest.
Analysis results can be exported in Excel format.
The tool has been successfully applied to assess the trabecular network of vertebrae.

Conclusions:

Integrated texture analysis software enhances the radiologist's ability to describe image findings.
The developed tool facilitates routine clinical application of texture analysis.
Integration into Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) broadens its clinical utility.
