Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

1.2K
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

X-ray Imaging

10.5K
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 Crystallography

26.2K
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

374
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

494
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:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Imaging
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Prior-image-based reconstruction (PIBR) offers radiation dose reduction in computed tomography (CT) by using prior scan information.
    • A key challenge in PIBR is optimizing the regularization strength to balance prior anatomical data with current measurement data.
    • Improper regularization can lead to limited dose reduction benefits or the concealment of true anatomical changes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop quantitative measures for assessing bias in PIBR methods.
    • To establish an analytical relationship between PIBR bias and regularization strength.
    • To enable prospective determination of regularization strength for controlled anatomical change admission.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed quantitative measures of PIBR bias, defined as fractional reconstructed contrast.
    • Derived an analytical relationship between bias and regularization strength.
    • Introduced generalized shift-variant prior image penalties for uniform anatomical change admission.
    • Validated the framework using phantom studies and compared predictions with exhaustive evaluations.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed analytical approach accurately predicts the bias-regularization relationship in PIBR.
    • The method allows for prospective determination of regularization strength.
    • Shift-variant penalties were shown to permit uniform admission of anatomical changes.
    • Phantom studies confirmed the framework's predictive accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed mathematical framework provides a reliable and efficient tool for controlling PIBR image quality.
    • Accurate prediction of bias enables optimal regularization strength selection, enhancing dose reduction while preserving anatomical details.
    • This approach facilitates robust and efficient implementation of PIBR in CT applications.
