Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

8.9K
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...

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...

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...

Statistical Significance01:50

Statistical Significance

22.2K
Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...

Probability in Statistics01:14

Probability in Statistics

23.5K
Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring. The term event is defined as a collection of results of a procedure. An event is a simple event when an outcome cannot be divided into simpler parts.
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Physics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Grating-based phase-contrast computed tomography (GBPC-CT) offers enhanced soft tissue contrast but is prone to streak artifacts.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a significant reduction in characteristic streak artifacts.
  • Achieved a substantial increase in overall image quality and soft tissue differentiation.
  • Validated the cone-beam compatibility of the tilted grating method for laboratory use.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed tilted grating GBPC-CT method with SIR effectively reduces streak artifacts and enhances image quality.
  • This approach is compatible with cone-beam geometry, making it suitable for laboratory applications.
  • The technique offers a promising advancement for high-sensitivity biomedical imaging.
