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...

Computed Tomography

7.5K
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...

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
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Emission tomography, including positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), relies on image reconstruction.
  • Conventional 3D reconstruction methods have limitations with dynamic or functional imaging data, which often exhibit high levels of spatially correlated noise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of the theory of 4D image reconstruction for emission tomography.
  • To unify 'fully 4D' image reconstruction and 'direct kinetic parameter estimation' within a common framework.
  • To review current state-of-the-art algorithms and techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Viewing 4D image reconstruction as linear or non-linear parameter estimation of spatiotemporal functions representing radiotracer distribution.
  • Considering various linear and non-linear parameterizations, including those with direct biological meaning.
  • Reviewing algorithms for estimating parameters from emission tomography data, including expectation maximization (EM) and maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation.

Main Results:

  • A unifying framework is presented for 'fully 4D' reconstruction and 'direct kinetic parameter estimation'.
  • Maximum likelihood or MAP estimation of model parameters can be achieved in image space after an EM update.
  • Simulation examples demonstrate the benefits of 4D and direct reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • The future of reconstructing dynamic and functional emission tomography images should exploit 4D approaches.
  • These 4D methods are particularly beneficial for handling data with high levels of spatially correlated noise.
  • The presented framework unifies different approaches to parameter estimation in emission tomography.
