Sources and Properties of Electric Charge01:15

Sources and Properties of Electric Charge

12.8K
All objects we see around us consist of atoms, which combine to form molecules. The lightest element in the universe is hydrogen, and a hydrogen atom consists of a positively charged proton and a negatively charged electron. The magnitude of charge that a proton and an electron carry are the same, and it is the fundamental unit of charge. In SI units, it is 1.602 times 10-19 coulomb.
Most atoms additionally constitute another fundamental particle, the neutron. It carries no electrical charge. A...

Properties of Electric Field Lines

9.6K
The definition of electric field lines greatly eases the visualization of electric fields, a vector field, especially in the presence of many charges. The one-to-one correspondence between the electric field and the electric field lines necessitates that the field lines follow some rules.
For one, the electric field of a positive charge must originate from it. That is because its electric field points away from it. Moreover, since the magnitude of the field asymptotes to zero at infinity, the...

Properties of Transition Metals02:58

Properties of Transition Metals

29.9K
Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partially filled d orbitals. As shown in Figure 1, the d-block elements in groups 3–12 are transition elements. The f-block elements, also called inner transition metals (the lanthanides and actinides), also meet this criterion because the d orbital is partially occupied before the f orbitals.

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...

Finding Electric Potential From Electric Field01:13

Finding Electric Potential From Electric Field

5.6K
For a system of charges, it is easy to calculate the system's potential because potential is a scalar quantity. However, in some instances where calculating the electric field is more straightforward than finding the potential, the electric field is used to calculate the system's potential. For a positive charge, the electric field is radially outward, and the potential is positive at any finite distance from the positive charge. In such an electric field, the motion away from the...

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Electromagnetics

Background:

  • Accurate estimation of tissue electric properties is crucial for MRI and other biomedical applications.
  • Existing Electric Properties Tomography (EPT) methods face challenges, such as the transceive-phase problem, limiting their clinical utility.
  • Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging provides B1 maps that contain information about local electric properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel algorithm, dictionary-based electric properties tomography (dbEPT), for deriving tissue electric properties from measured B1 maps.
  • To assess the performance of dbEPT in reconstructing brain conductivity in human volunteers.
  • To compare dbEPT with conventional Helmholtz-based EPT methods.

Main Methods:

  • dbEPT utilizes a dictionary of B1 map patterns and corresponding electric properties, generated via electromagnetic field simulations.
  • Reconstruction involves matching measured B1 patterns to dictionary 'atoms' using machine learning algorithms.
  • Two dictionaries, based on transmit and transceive phases, were evaluated, and a reliability map was generated from matching distances.

Main Results:

  • Quantitative conductivity values obtained by dbEPT align with established literature values.
  • dbEPT demonstrates superior clarity in depicting brain details compared to Helmholtz-based EPT, as evidenced by correlation with anatomical images.
  • Reconstruction reliability varied with tissue heterogeneity, with minimal matching distance in homogeneous brain ventricles.

Conclusions:

  • dbEPT offers a novel and effective approach for reconstructing electric properties, particularly conductivity.
  • The developed method successfully overcomes the transceive-phase problem inherent in some EPT techniques.
  • dbEPT shows promise for improved quantitative MRI and detailed brain imaging.
