X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

11.0K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.4K
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...

Sampling Theorem01:15

Sampling Theorem

1.5K
In signal processing, the analysis of continuous-time signals, denoted as x(t), often involves sampling techniques to convert these signals into discrete-time signals. This process is essential for digital representation and manipulation. A critical component in sampling is the train of impulses, characterized by the sampling interval and the sampling frequency. The relationship between these parameters and the original signal's properties dictates the success of the sampling process.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples01:10

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

5.1K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are  scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The  X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

26.7K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

627
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Imaging
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • X-ray computed tomography (CT) reconstruction often benefits from exploiting image sparsity.
  • Compressed sensing (CS) inspires sparse reconstruction but lacks guarantees for CT accuracy or measurement requirements.
  • Existing CS frameworks do not explicitly link image sparsity to the number of projections needed for perfect CT reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively establish a relationship between image sparsity and the sufficient number of measurements for accurate CT reconstruction.
  • To investigate if this relationship exhibits phase transitions similar to those observed in compressed sensing.
  • To determine the robustness of this relationship to image size and noise.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 1-norm minimization for reconstruction, a method proposed within the compressed sensing framework.
  • Employed data acquired from a standard CT fan-beam sampling pattern.
  • Conducted empirical simulation studies on image classes relevant to tomographic applications.

Main Results:

  • Quantitatively established a relationship between image sparsity and the number of projections required for recovery.
  • Demonstrated that this relationship is dependent on the specific image class.
  • Observed sharp phase transitions, where images of similar sparsity require a consistent number of projections for recovery.
  • Confirmed the relationship's independence from image size and its robustness to additive Gaussian white noise.

Conclusions:

  • A clear, quantifiable relationship exists between image sparsity and the number of projections needed for accurate CT reconstruction.
  • This relationship is image-class dependent and exhibits phase transitions, offering insights into optimal data acquisition.
  • The findings are robust across different image sizes and tolerant to moderate noise levels, enhancing practical applicability.
