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...

Deformations in a Transverse Cross Section

715
When a material is subjected to uniaxial stress, it elongates or contracts in the direction of the applied force, and also undergoes changes in the perpendicular directions. This behavior is crucial for understanding how materials behave under stress and is governed by mechanical properties such as Poisson's ratio v, which measures the ratio of transverse strain to axial strain.
As the material stretches, it expands or contracts in orthogonal directions to the load. This phenomenon varies...

Three-Dimensional Analysis of Strain01:29

Three-Dimensional Analysis of Strain

783
Three-dimensional strain analysis is crucial for understanding how materials deform under stress, particularly in elastic, homogeneous materials. This method employs principal stress axes to simplify complex stress states into more understandable forms. Subjected to stress, a small cubic element within a material either expands or contracts along these axes, transforming into a rectangular parallelepiped. This transformation effectively illustrates the material's deformation. The principal...

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimaging
    • Computational Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tractography maps white matter pathways noninvasively.
    • Current tractography methods lack quantitative accuracy despite diffusion MRI's inherent quantitative nature.
    • Estimating microstructural tissue features like axonal density and diameter from diffusion MRI is an active research area.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel framework that quantitatively links tractography reconstructions with underlying tissue microstructure.
    • To establish a more biologically plausible and quantitative assessment of structural brain connectivity.

    Main Methods:

    • Modeled diffusion MRI signal within each voxel as a linear combination of contributions from candidate fiber tracts.
    • Used standard fiber-tracking techniques to generate an initial set of candidate fiber tracts.
    • Recovered global weights (effective contribution/volume) for each tract by solving a global convex optimization problem to best fit the measured diffusion MRI signal.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that tract weights can be efficiently recovered using convex optimization.
    • Validated the framework on a realistic phantom with known ground-truth data.
    • Showcased effectiveness on in vivo human brain data.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed framework successfully reestablishes the link between tractography and tissue microstructure.
    • Results indicate significant benefits for quantitative assessment of brain structural connectivity.
    • Opens new perspectives for more accurate and biologically plausible neuroimaging analysis.
