Computed Tomography

9.2K
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 Engineering
    • Materials Science
    • Medical Device Design

    Background:

    • Noninvasive measurement of tissue viscoelastic properties is crucial for diagnostics.
    • Estimating tissue viscoelasticity often involves measuring dynamic responses under constant force.
    • Existing methods require specialized, often non-portable, equipment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and validate an automated, portable compression device for measuring tissue viscoelastic properties.
    • To assess the device's ability to capture creep response and estimate retardation times.
    • To enable clinical applications for noninvasive tissue characterization.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed an automated compression device applying ramp-and-hold force.
    • Integrated an ultrasound probe for monitoring creep response.
    • Validated the device using tissue-mimicking phantoms against a commercial mechanical tester.
    • Estimated retardation times (T1, T2) using a second-order Kelvin-Voigt model.

    Main Results:

    • The automated device demonstrated strong agreement with a commercial system.
    • Average relative errors for retardation times were 2.9% for T1 and 12.4% for T2.
    • Successfully measured local retardation times in phantoms with varying size and stiffness.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed automated compression device is a reliable tool for noninvasive tissue viscoelastic property measurement.
    • The device's portability and ease of use facilitate clinical applications.
    • Accurate estimation of retardation times is achievable with this novel system.
