X-ray Imaging01:24

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 Crystallography02:18

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 III: X-Ray01:20

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...

Flat Belts: Problem Solving01:28

Flat Belts: Problem Solving

827
Flat belts are crucial in many industrial applications as they help transmit power from one pulley to another. The concept of forces and moments is used to determine the maximum moment on a pulley. For instance, consider a flat belt that wraps around two pulleys, A and B, with radii of 30 cm and 10 cm, respectively. The angle between the belt and the horizontal is 20 degrees at the pulleys. As pulley B rotates clockwise and drives pulley A, tension T2 is caused at one end of the belt, while...

Frictional Forces on Flat Belts01:28

Frictional Forces on Flat Belts

1.5K
Flat belts are commonly used in various industrial applications for transmitting power from one pulley to another. When a flat belt is wrapped around a set of pulleys, it experiences different tensions at the driving pulley ends due to the friction between the belt and pulley surface. When the pulley moves in a counterclockwise direction, the tension T2 on the opposite side of the pulley where the belt is moving away from is higher than the tension T1 on the side where the belt is moving...

Fluid Pressure over Flat Plate of Constant Width01:05

Fluid Pressure over Flat Plate of Constant Width

2.5K
When a body is submerged in water, it experiences fluid pressure acting normal on its surface and distributed over its area. For better design structures, it is crucial to determine the magnitude and location of the resultant force acting on the surface. In the case of a rectangular plate of constant width submerged in water, the pressure increases with depth, resulting in a linearly varying trapezoidal pressure distribution from the upper to the lower edge of the plate.
The resultant force...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Physics
  • Image Processing

Background:

  • Classical X-ray computed tomography (CT) assumes known X-ray source intensity.
  • Intensity uncertainty, negligible in standard CT, causes severe artifacts (e.g., ring artifacts) in dose- or time-limited dynamic CT.
  • Existing methods struggle with reconstruction quality when measurements are poor due to intensity variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel convex model for X-ray CT reconstruction that accounts for X-ray source intensity uncertainty.
  • To improve image quality in dynamic CT applications where measurement uncertainties are significant.
  • To mitigate systematic artifacts arising from imprecise intensity measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of a new convex model by carefully incorporating the X-ray measurement process and its inherent uncertainties.
  • Utilizing advanced mathematical modeling to handle variations in X-ray source intensity.
  • Validation of the proposed methodology using both simulated and real-world CT data.

Main Results:

  • The new convex model demonstrates significant improvement in reconstruction quality compared to classical methods.
  • Systematic artifacts, such as ring artifacts, are effectively reduced even with low-quality measurements.
  • The model's performance is validated across diverse datasets, showcasing its robustness.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed convex model offers a robust solution for enhancing X-ray CT image reconstruction quality under intensity uncertainty.
  • This approach is particularly beneficial for time- and dose-limited dynamic CT applications.
  • The findings pave the way for more accurate and artifact-free CT imaging in challenging scenarios.
