X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

7.7K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Computed Tomography

7.6K
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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.1K
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...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

1.3K
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • 3D Modeling
  • Surgical Planning

Background:

  • A patient sustained a head injury with an embedded foreign object (metal bar).
  • Pre-operative CT scan was not feasible due to patient size limitations.
  • Post-operative CT, X-ray, and photographic images were utilized.

Observation:

  • A surface render of the patient's skull was created.
  • A 3D model of the metal bar was reconstructed using reference images.
  • X-ray images were integrated as background references in 3D software.

Findings:

  • The 3D skull model and metal bar model were accurately aligned.
  • The animation precisely illustrated the depth and angle of the embedded object.
  • Blender software facilitated the reconstruction and visualization process.

Implications:

  • This 3D animation technique offers a valuable tool for visualizing complex foreign body trajectories.
  • It aids in understanding injury mechanisms and planning future interventions.
  • Demonstrates the utility of 3D animation in medical case studies when standard imaging is limited.
