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...

Positron Emission Tomography

8.0K
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...

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

616
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...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Superficial vasculature in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) causes shadowgraphic projection artifacts.
  • These artifacts obscure visualization of deeper retinal vascular networks, limiting diagnostic capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel algorithm for removing projection artifacts in OCT-A.
  • To improve the depth resolution and visualization of retinal vasculature.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a "projection-resolved" (PR) algorithm to differentiate in situ from projected flow signals.
  • Algorithm identifies in situ flow by comparing intensity-normalized decorrelation values in axial scan lines.
  • Applied PR algorithm to OCT-A data from human macula for en face and cross-sectional imaging.

Main Results:

  • The PR algorithm effectively suppressed projection artifacts in both en face and cross-sectional OCT-A.
  • Enhanced depth resolution revealed three distinct vascular plexuses in the inner human macula.
  • Demonstrated clean removal of flow projection from the outer retina, preserving intermediate and deep capillary plexuses.

Conclusions:

  • The PR algorithm significantly improves OCT-A by eliminating superficial vessel artifacts.
  • Enhanced visualization aids in accurately assessing retinal vascular networks, particularly in the inner retina.
  • PR OCT-A offers a more precise method for analyzing retinal microvasculature.
