X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

10.7K
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...

X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

26.3K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Flail Chest-I01:24

Flail Chest-I

782
Overview of Flail Chest
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...

Flail Chest-II01:26

Flail Chest-II

678
Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Chest Physiotherapy01:24

Chest Physiotherapy

1.9K
Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a therapeutic technique used in respiratory care to improve ventilation, clear bronchial secretions, and enhance the efficiency of respiratory muscles. This therapy includes three primary procedures: postural drainage, percussion, and vibration. It can be performed on spontaneously breathing patients and those who are intubated and mechanically ventilated.
Purpose
CPT is primarily used for patients with excessive bronchial secretions who have difficulty clearing...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

499
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Overlapping anatomical structures in conventional chest X-rays can obscure pathologies like lung nodules.
  • A novel digital multi-projection imaging system was developed to overcome this limitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the design and initial performance of a new multi-projection digital chest imaging system.
  • To evaluate the system's robustness for clinical trials, focusing on repeatability and motion artifacts.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a digital system acquiring multiple chest projections (posterior-anterior orientation) at variable speeds and frame rates.
  • Tested system repeatability and motion blur artifacts, assessing geometrical consistency and Modulation Transfer Function (MTF).

Main Results:

  • Achieved excellent geometrical consistency in tube motion, with positional errors within 1% for clinical settings.
  • Demonstrated minimal impact of tube motion on image quality (MTF).
  • System confirmed as clinic-ready, leading to the launch of a clinical trial.
