Coordination Number and Geometry

Coordination Number and Geometry

For transition metal complexes, the coordination number determines the geometry around the central metal ion. Table 1 compares coordination numbers to molecular geometry. The most common structures of the complexes in coordination compounds are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar.

Geometry of Hyperbolas

A hyperbola consists of all points where the absolute difference of distances to two fixed points, called foci, remains constant. The standard equation isEach branch extends infinitely and approaches two asymptotes, which guide the curve’s behavior. The parameters a and b define key features: a measures the distance from the center to each vertex along the transverse axis, while b influences the slopes of the asymptotes. The asymptotes have equationsA rectangle centered at the origin with...

Fischer Projections

Fischer Projections

Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines. While...

Newman Projections

Newman Projections

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.
The organic molecules rotate across the single bonds leading to numerous temporary three-dimensional structures of varying energy known as...

What is Energy?

What is Energy?

The universe is composed of matter in different forms, and all forms of matter contain energy. The different forms of energy on Earth originate from the Sun — the ultimate energy source. Plants capture light energy from the Sun, and, via the process of photosynthesis, convert it into chemical energy. This stored energy from plants can be harnessed in many ways. For example, eating plant products as food provides energy for our body to function, and burning wood or coal (fossilized...

Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Computational Imaging
Image Reconstruction

Background:

Clinical computed tomography (CT) scans can be truncated for obese or improperly positioned patients.
Truncated images suffer from cupping and direct current bias artifacts.
Existing projection extension methods are computationally intensive, require extra radiation, or hardware modifications, limiting clinical use.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an accurate and efficient method for extrapolating partially truncated CT projections.
To improve the quality of CT images affected by truncation artifacts.
To create a method easily integrated into clinical CT workflows.

Main Methods:

Established a geometrical constraint using modified scout configuration to estimate patient habitus.
Established an energy constraint based on fan-beam projection integral invariance.
Developed a novel dual-constraint optimization model for rapid projection extrapolation and local reconstruction.

Main Results:

The proposed dual-constraint optimization model effectively extrapolates partially truncated projections.
Simulations using numerical phantoms and realistic patient data confirmed the method's effectiveness.
The approach is robust for noisy data and various truncation levels.

Conclusions:

A novel dual-constraint optimization model enables accurate extrapolation of partially truncated CT projections.
The method integrates seamlessly into clinical workflows and is efficiently solved using 1D optimization algorithms.
The technique is robust, can handle noise and varying truncations, and is amenable to GPU acceleration.
