Computed Tomography

9.0K
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...

¹³C NMR: ¹H–¹³C Decoupling

1.9K
The probability of having two carbon-13 atoms next to each other is negligible because of the low natural abundance of carbon-13. Consequently, peak splitting due to carbon-carbon spin-spin coupling is not observed in spectra. However, protons up to three sigma bonds away split the carbon signal according to the n+1 rule, resulting in complicated spectra.
A broadband decoupling technique is used to simplify these complex, sometimes overlapping, signals. Broadband decoupling relies on a...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Physics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Polychromatic X-ray beams in computed tomography (CT) lead to image greyscale variations based on position and material, hindering accurate quantitative analysis.
  • These variations complicate precise material characterization and dimensional measurements in CT imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for decomposing multi-voltage X-ray images into narrow-energy-width X-ray images.
  • To enable quantitative measurements in CT imaging by overcoming polychromatic beam artifacts.

Main Methods:

  • A decomposition model is proposed that utilizes the low-frequency characteristics of X-ray scattering.
  • The model decomposes multivoltage X-ray data into multiple narrow-energy-width X-ray datasets.
  • Narrow-energy-width projections are then used for image reconstruction without altering existing CT hardware.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method successfully decomposes multi-voltage X-ray images into narrow-energy-width datasets.
  • Reconstructed images from experimental data (aluminum-silicon cylinder) closely resemble those from narrow-energy-width X-ray sources.
  • The effectiveness of the decomposition model in producing high-fidelity reconstructed images is demonstrated.

Conclusions:

  • The developed decomposition model effectively generates narrow-energy-width X-ray images from standard CT systems.
  • This technique significantly enhances the potential for accurate quantitative measurements in CT imaging.
  • No hardware modifications are required, making the method broadly applicable to existing CT systems.
