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...

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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • X-ray Physics
  • Computational Imaging

Background:

  • Multiple-image radiography (MIR) is an advanced x-ray technique providing scattering, refraction, and attenuation data.
  • Conventional computed tomography (CT) requires a full angular scan, which is not always feasible.
  • Limited-angle tomography (LAT) offers a solution for reconstructing images when full scans are impractical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the feasibility of limited-angle tomography (LAT) for multiple-image radiography (MIR).
  • To determine the optimal number of angular views for LAT-MIR reconstructions.
  • To evaluate the performance of LAT-MIR for soft tissue detection, specifically cartilage.

Main Methods:

  • Computer simulations were used to assess LAT-MIR applicability and reconstruction accuracy.
  • The relationship between angular views, radiation exposure, and image quality was investigated.
  • LAT-MIR was experimentally applied to cadaveric human thumb data, comparing results with full-view CT-MIR.
  • Task-based evaluation using template matching and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) assessed soft tissue detectability.

Main Results:

  • Simulations demonstrated the potential of LAT-MIR for reconstructing volumetric images near the central plane.
  • An optimal range of angular views was identified for LAT-MIR, balancing performance and data acquisition.
  • Experimental results showed LAT-MIR performance near the central plane can be comparable to full-view CT-MIR.
  • Soft tissue detection performance, evaluated by SNR, indicated an optimal angular range for LAT-MIR.

Conclusions:

  • Limited-angle tomography is applicable to multiple-image radiography.
  • An optimal angular range exists for LAT-MIR, maximizing performance for near-central plane reconstructions.
  • LAT-MIR provides a valuable imaging approach, especially when full angular scans are limited, with performance comparable to CT-MIR for specific applications.
