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...

Positron Emission Tomography

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...

Area of Science:

Astronomy

Computer Science

Background:

Atmospheric turbulence distorts light from celestial objects, degrading image quality in ground-based telescopes.
Adaptive Optics (AO) systems are crucial for correcting these wavefront distortions.
Existing AO reconstruction techniques, like Least Squares (LS) and Learn + Apply (L+A), have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate a novel Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based wavefront reconstruction technique.
To estimate atmospheric turbulence using Zernike coefficients from Shack Hartmann Wave-front Sensor (SHWFS) measurements.
To compare the performance of the proposed ANN method against existing AO reconstruction techniques.

Main Methods:

A Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was designed for wavefront reconstruction.
The ANN takes local wavefront tilts measured by a Shack Hartmann Wave-front Sensor (SHWFS) as input.
The ANN was trained using simulated data with a single turbulent layer at varying altitudes and tested on three atmospheric profiles.

Main Results:

The ANN-based reconstructor demonstrated its ability to estimate turbulence in terms of Zernike coefficients.
Performance was evaluated against established Least Squares (LS) and Learn + Apply (L+A) methods.
The study provides a comparative analysis of the novel ANN technique against existing methods under different atmospheric conditions.

Conclusions:

The proposed Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique shows potential for accurate atmospheric turbulence estimation in adaptive optics.
This novel approach offers a viable alternative for improving astronomical image quality.
Further research may explore more complex atmospheric models and network architectures for enhanced performance.
