Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

7.0K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction01:07

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.8K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation

707
Signal processing techniques are essential for accurately converting continuous signals to digital formats and vice versa. When a continuous signal is sampled with a period T, the resulting sampled signal exhibits replicas of the original spectrum in the frequency domain, spaced at intervals equal to the sampling frequency. To handle this sampled signal, a zero-order hold method can be applied, which creates a piecewise constant signal by retaining each sample's value until the next...

SFG Algebra01:16

SFG Algebra

325
In Signal Flow Graph (SFG) algebra, the value a node represents is determined by the sum of all signals entering that node. This summed value is then transmitted through every branch leaving the node, making the SFG a powerful tool for visualizing and analyzing control systems.
Each node in an SFG corresponds to a variable, and the interactions between nodes are represented by branches with associated gains. When multiple branches lead into a node, the value at that node is the sum of the...

What is Variation?01:14

What is Variation?

17.6K
Apart from the measures of central tendency, distribution, outliers, and the changing characteristics of data with time, an important characteristic of any data set is its variation or spread. In some data sets, the data values are concentrated closely near the mean; in others, the data values are more widely spread out from the mean.
The range, standard deviation, standard error, and variance are the different measures of variation.
Range: The range is the difference between its maximum and...

Background:

  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging relies on complex computer methods to reconstruct images from measured data, often referred to as the
  • image reconstruction from projections
  • problem.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a modified Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (SART) algorithm that integrates total variation (TV) minimization to enhance PET image reconstruction quality.
  • To improve edge preservation and reduce artifacts in reconstructed PET images.

Main Methods:

  • A modified SART algorithm incorporating Fast Total Variation (FTV) minimization was developed, iteratively alternating between SART and FTV steps.
  • Spatial smoothing was applied, and the algorithm was tested with 50 iterations on 128 × 128 pixel images.

Main Results:

  • The proposed FTV-SART algorithm demonstrated superior edge preservation, particularly for hot lesions, compared to standard SART and Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART).
  • The algorithm effectively suppressed background noise and reduced image artifacts.

Conclusions:

  • The modified SART algorithm offers improved robustness in noise removal and edge preservation for PET image reconstruction.
  • Visual inspection and quality measurements confirm significant image quality enhancements over conventional SART and ART methods.
