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...

Computed Tomography

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

3.1K
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:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Image Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) is used in 3D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT).
    • Current ART methods minimize isotropic total variation (TV), not accounting for differing resolutions in sagittal and axial directions.
    • Directional resolution differences in DBT can impact image reconstruction quality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a 3D anisotropic total variation (ATV) minimization method for DBT.
    • To address the challenge of differing resolutions in sagittal and axial directions during TV minimization.
    • To improve the accuracy and quality of reconstructed 3D DBT images.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a 3D anisotropic total variation (ATV) minimization technique.
    • Generated a customized 3D Shepp-logan phantom simulating DBT imaging complexities like overlapping tissue and directional resolution.
    • Compared reconstruction results from ART, ART+3D TV, and ART+3D ATV using Structural Similarity Index (SSIM).

    Main Results:

    • The proposed ART+3D ATV method demonstrated improved reconstruction compared to ART and ART+3D TV.
    • The customized phantom effectively mimicked real-world DBT imaging challenges.
    • Quantitative comparison using SSIM indicated superior performance of the ATV approach.

    Conclusions:

    • 3D anisotropic total variation minimization is a more effective approach for DBT reconstruction than isotropic TV.
    • Accounting for directional resolution differences is crucial for optimizing DBT image quality.
    • The developed method shows promise for enhancing diagnostic accuracy in DBT imaging.
