Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

4.8K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Comparative Excretory Systems

Animals have evolved different strategies for excretion, the removal of waste from the body. Most waste must be dissolved in water to be excreted, so an animal’s excretory strategy directly affects its water balance.

Second Order systems II01:18

Second Order systems II

408
In an underdamped second-order system, where the damping ratio ζ is between 0 and 1, a unit-step input results in a transfer function that, when transformed using the inverse Laplace method, reveals the output response. The output exhibits a damped sinusoidal oscillation, and the difference between the input and output is termed the error signal. This error signal also demonstrates damped oscillatory behavior. Eventually, as the system reaches a steady state, the error diminishes to zero.

First Order Systems

430
First-order systems, such as RC circuits, are foundational in understanding dynamic systems due to their straightforward input-output relationship. Analyzing their responses to different input functions under zero initial conditions reveals significant insights into system behavior.
When a first-order system is subjected to a unit-step input, its response is characterized by its transfer function. By applying the Laplace transform of the unit-step input to the transfer function, expanding the...

Second Order systems I

598
A servo system exemplifies a second-order system, featuring a proportional controller and load elements that ensure the output position aligns with the input position. The relationship between these components is described by a second-order differential equation. Applying the Laplace transform under zero initial conditions yields the transfer function, showing how inputs are converted to outputs in the system.
By reinterpreting the system, one can derive the closed-loop transfer function, which...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

8.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiological Technology
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Standard Computed Tomography (CT) is often difficult to use during surgery or in intensive care units (ICUs).
  • Cone-beam CT (CBCT) using advanced C-arm systems offers potential for additional clinical information in these settings.
  • Basic C-arm systems present challenges including non-circular trajectories, mechanical strains, and imprecise source-detector positioning, hindering accurate calibration and reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for adapting standard C-arm systems, designed for planar imaging, into functional tomographs.
  • To overcome limitations of basic C-arm systems for tomographic imaging, including geometric inaccuracies and data scarcity.
  • To enable enhanced clinical information retrieval in challenging environments like operating rooms and ICUs.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a geometrical calibration method to compensate for mechanical inaccuracies and imprecise source-detector positioning between acquisitions.
  • Implemented an advanced image reconstruction algorithm capable of handling limited angle data, sparse projections, and non-circular trajectories.
  • Utilized 3D surface scanner data for patient surface information to aid calibration and reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Successfully adapted standard C-arm systems for tomographic imaging.
  • Demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed method using two real C-arm systems (image intensifier and flat panel detector).
  • The developed techniques effectively addressed mechanical inaccuracies and reconstruction challenges inherent in basic C-arm systems.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method enables the use of standard C-arm systems as tomographs, providing valuable clinical information where CT is impractical.
  • The approach overcomes significant technical hurdles associated with basic C-arm systems for tomographic applications.
  • This innovation holds promise for improving intraoperative and critical care imaging capabilities.
