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...
Positron Emission Tomography01:29

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:

    • Medical imaging
    • Radiology
    • Image reconstruction

    Background:

    • Image quality in tomographic imaging depends on the number of projections.
    • Increasing projections enhances image quality but also patient radiation dose.
    • Optimizing projection acquisition is essential for balancing image quality and radiation safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate adaptive methods for selecting projection angles in tomographic imaging.
    • To reduce the number of projections required while maintaining or improving image quality.
    • To minimize patient radiation dose in tomographic scans.

    Main Methods:

    • Two novel approaches for adaptively selecting projection angles were developed.
    • Method 1: Projection selection based on spectral richness of acquired data.
    • Method 2: Projection selection based on the novelty of information in successive projections.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed adaptive methods demonstrated superior performance compared to uniform angular sampling.
    • Simulations using both phantom and real images confirmed the effectiveness of the adaptive strategies.
    • Adaptive projection selection led to improved image quality with fewer projections.

    Conclusions:

    • Adaptive projection angle selection is a viable strategy for optimizing tomographic imaging.
    • These methods offer a way to reduce radiation dose without compromising image quality.
    • The findings have significant implications for patient safety and diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging.
