Computed Tomography01:10

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...

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...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

1.0K
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

6.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Image-Guided Interventions
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Image guidance is crucial for complex interventions in various medical fields.
  • Soft tissue interventions pose challenges due to motion and deformation.
  • Current methods often require physical patient contact and are time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a non-contact, continuous registration method for preoperative CT and intraoperative patient positioning.
  • To compensate for respiratory motion during image-guided procedures.
  • To advance image-guided percutaneous liver radiofrequency (RF) tumor ablation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized radiological markers on patient skin for CT-based anatomical model creation.
  • Employed a videometric tracking system and Horn algorithm for point-to-point registration.
  • Implemented a spline-based approach for local deformation field calculation and breathing motion compensation.

Main Results:

  • Manual registration achieved low errors (below 1-4 mm) for phantom data.
  • Patient data showed registration errors below 6-9 mm.
  • The automated method demonstrated median TRE values of 0.82 mm (rigid) and 7.21 mm (spline deformation).

Conclusions:

  • Presented and compared two registration methods for abdominal CT models and patient positioning.
  • The automated approach facilitates easier clinical implementation by reducing OR preparation time.
  • The developed system is a significant step towards image-guided percutaneous liver RF tumor ablation.
