Computed Tomography

9.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Medical Imaging
  • Photonics

Background:

  • Turbid media present challenges in accurately determining optical properties due to light scattering and absorption.
  • Traditional methods often struggle with simultaneous and precise recovery of both absorption and scattering coefficients.
  • Accurate optical parameter estimation is crucial for applications in biomedical imaging and material science.

  • To leverage class-based knowledge for iterative refinement of optical parameter estimation.
  • To evaluate the performance and image quality improvement of the proposed method in 2D and 3D.

Main Methods:

  • A combined reconstruction-classification approach was developed to analyze images of absorbed optical energy.
  • The method iteratively estimates absorption and scattering parameters by utilizing a priori knowledge of limited optical parameter classes.
  • Numerical experiments were conducted in both two and three dimensions to validate the technique.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method accurately recovers both absorption and scattering coefficients in turbid media.
  • Demonstrated superior image quality in recovered optical parameters compared to traditional reconstruction-only methods.
