Computed Tomography

9.1K
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...

Double Resonance Techniques: Overview

792
Double resonance techniques in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy involve the simultaneous application of two different frequencies or radiofrequency pulses to manipulate and observe two distinct nuclear spins. One important application of double resonance is spin decoupling, which selectively suppresses coupling with one type of nucleus while observing the NMR signal from another nucleus, simplifying the spectrum and enhancing resolution.
Spin decoupling is usually achieved by...

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

809
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the common plasma source used in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), a technique that detects and analyzes various elements in a sample. This method is often called inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy  (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used....

Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Medical Physics
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Combining multi-echo phase information from MRI coil arrays is crucial for accurate ΔB0-related phase mapping.
  • Existing methods may require additional scans or lack robustness in phase retrieval.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop simple, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)-optimal methods for combining multi-echo phase data from MRI coil arrays.
  • To yield images reflecting only ΔB0-related phase without volume coils or extra scans.

Main Methods:

  • Developed two SNR-optimal coil combination methods: MCPC-3D-S and ASPIRE.
  • MCPC-3D-S requires unwrapping one phase image; ASPIRE avoids unwrapping under specific echo time conditions.
  • Both methods determine coil-dependent phase offsets to retrieve ΔB0-related phase.

Main Results:

  • MCPC-3D-S and ASPIRE demonstrated higher phase matching and contrast-to-noise ratio in brain imaging at 7 T compared to phase difference reconstruction.
  • The proposed methods successfully eliminated non-ΔB0-related phase, outperforming other techniques.

Conclusions:

  • MCPC-3D-S is an advancement for multi-echo methods when ASPIRE's echo time condition is unmet.
  • ASPIRE provides a fast, robust solution executable on the scanner, significantly reducing acquisition time.
