Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

945
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

393
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.0K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

533
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Nursing Code of Ethics01:29

Nursing Code of Ethics

4.8K
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Science

Background:

  • Full Monte Carlo (MC) SPECT reconstructions offer potential for image correction but are time-consuming.
  • Developing faster MC codes is crucial for clinical application of advanced SPECT/CT imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a highly parallel MC code for rapid Ordered Subset Expectation Maximization (OSEM) reconstructions of SPECT/CT images.
  • To accelerate MC-based SPECT/CT image reconstruction using Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).

Main Methods:

  • A parallel MC code was developed using Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) on a multi-GPU system.
  • The code simulated photon emissions, incorporating attenuation, scattering, and detector physics.
  • MC-OSEM was applied to phantom and 177-Lu SPECT/CT images, comparing performance with standard AC-OSEM and RRC-OSEM.

Main Results:

  • The MC code achieved a performance of 3200 million photons/s.
  • MC-based OSEM reconstruction was completed in approximately 3 minutes per patient scan.
  • Activity recovery in phantom studies showed significant improvement (88% for largest sphere) compared to AC-OSEM (66%) and RRC-OSEM (79%).

Conclusions:

  • GPU-accelerated MC code enables rapid SPECT/CT reconstruction within minutes.
  • Reconstructed clinical images demonstrated enhanced resolution and contrast, particularly for 177-Lu-DOTATATE treatments.
