Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.6K
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

581
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

627
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Echocardiography plays a role in assessing cardiac health and detecting heart conditions, with various types providing critical insights for diagnosis and treatment.
Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Radiography
  • 3D reconstruction

Background:

  • Digital tomosynthesis (DTS) offers depth-specific imaging but suffers from artifacts and limited lateral view resolution.
  • Overlapping structures and off-fulcrum spillover can impede diagnostic accuracy in single-view DTS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a dual-view DTS technique for improved 3D chest imaging.
  • To enhance anatomical rendition, resolution, and artifact reduction in DTS reconstructions.

Main Methods:

  • Acquired projection images in orthogonal PA and lateral views using limited angle scans.
  • Reconstructed 3D images using maximum likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM) with dual-view data.
  • Compared dual-view DTS with single-view DTS and cone beam CT (CBCT) using digital and anthropomorphic phantoms.

Main Results:

  • Dual-view DTS demonstrated superior spatial resolution, more accurate anatomy representation, and significantly reduced artifacts compared to single-view DTS.
  • Quantitative analysis showed lower root-mean-square-deviation (RMSD) for dual-view DTS.
  • High-contrast wire imaging confirmed improved resolution of horizontal structures in the lateral view with dual-view DTS.

Conclusions:

  • Dual-view DTS provides more accurate 3D anatomical rendition and improved slice image quality with reduced artifacts.
  • This technique enhances visualization beyond the PA view, offering diagnostic advantages over single-view DTS.
  • Dual-view DTS is valuable for detailed anatomical assessment and object separation, especially when minimizing radiation dose is a concern.
