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...

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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Medical Imaging
  • Microscopy

Background:

  • Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) images microvasculature beyond confocal microscopy limits.
  • Current PAM is qualitative, lacking quantitative functional parameter measurements.
  • Key parameters like oxygen saturation and blood flow remain unquantified.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce photoacoustic computed microscopy (PACM) for quantitative microvasculature imaging.
  • Develop a model-based inverse reconstruction algorithm for PAM.
  • Validate PACM's ability to quantify functional parameters in vivo.

Main Methods:

  • Combined PAM with a model-based inverse reconstruction algorithm.
  • Evaluated PACM using tissue-mimicking phantoms.
  • Demonstrated in vivo quantification of hemodynamic parameters in a rodent model.

Main Results:

  • PACM successfully quantified oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and oxygen saturation.
  • Cerebral blood flow and metabolic rate of oxygen were accurately measured.
  • High-resolution imaging of small vessels was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • PACM offers quantitative functional insights into microvasculature.
  • This technique advances neuroscience research and the study of angiogenesis and inflammation.
  • PACM provides a novel tool for visualizing microvascular dynamics in disease.
