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...

X-ray Imaging

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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

3.0K
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...

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...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

1.5K
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Computational Imaging

Background:

  • Dual spectral CT (DSCT) enables material decomposition from acquired raw data.
  • Direct calibration methods for DSCT material decomposition are either image-based or rawdata-based.
  • Image-based methods suffer from artifacts, while rawdata-based methods require geometrically consistent data, which is often lacking in clinical scanners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a practical rawdata-based material decomposition method for DSCT that handles geometrically inconsistent measurements.
  • To enable accurate material decomposition and reconstruction of material-selective images despite measurement inconsistencies.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed method first generates consistent rawdata sets from inconsistent clinical DSCT measurements.
  • It then applies a rawdata-based technique for material decomposition.
  • Material-selective images are reconstructed using the processed rawdata.

Main Results:

  • Evaluation using simulated FORBILD thorax phantom and dental CT rawdata demonstrated the method's effectiveness.
  • The method successfully produced highly quantitative DSCT images even with inconsistent measurements.
  • It addresses the limitations of existing rawdata-based methods in clinical settings.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method provides a practical solution for rawdata-based material decomposition in DSCT with inconsistent measurements.
  • It overcomes the geometric inconsistency issue, leading to improved image quality and quantitative accuracy.
  • This technique has the potential to enhance the clinical utility of DSCT for material analysis.
