Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

8.1K
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...

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Dosage Compensation02:50

Dosage Compensation

7.1K
In animals, gender is determined by the number and type of sex chromosome. For example, human females have two X chromosomes, and males have one X and one Y chromosome, whereas C.elegans with one X chromosome is a male, and the one with two X chromosomes is a hermaphrodite.
In addition to sexual development, the X chromosome has genes involved in autosomal functions such as brain development and the immune system. Therefore, males and females with  distinct numbers of X chromosomes will...

Compensation Mechanisms01:28

Compensation Mechanisms

2.0K
The human body employs intricate mechanisms to counteract changes in blood pH, preventing conditions like acidosis (pH < 7.35) and alkalosis (pH > 7.45). These compensatory responses aim to restore normal arterial blood pH by engaging respiratory or renal systems, depending on the source of the imbalance.
Respiratory Compensation
This mechanism addresses metabolic-induced pH imbalances by adjusting breathing rates. Respiratory compensation begins within minutes of detecting a pH...

Beams01:30

Beams

1.8K
Beams are integral components of structural engineering and construction, designed to support loads applied at various points along their length. These long, straight members can be classified based on geometry, cross-section, support type, and equilibrium condition.
Based on geometry, beams can be straight, tapered, or curved. Straight beams are the most common type and have a constant cross-section throughout their length. Tapered beams, on the other hand, have a varying cross-section along...

Absolute and Local Extreme Values01:22

Absolute and Local Extreme Values

58
The highest and lowest values of a function, relative to a reference axis, are known as extreme values. These include absolute maximum and absolute minimum values, which represent the highest and lowest points the function reaches across its entire domain. Within a restricted portion of the function, the highest and lowest values are referred to as local maximum and local minimum values, respectively.Periodic functions, such as sine and cosine, show extreme values at infinitely many points due...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Patient motion during extremity cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) can cause artifacts, degrading image quality.
  • Artifacts obscure important anatomical details, potentially impacting diagnostic accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of a novel motion compensation algorithm in improving extremity CBCT image quality.
  • To evaluate the algorithm's ability to reduce motion artifacts and enhance visualization of bone and soft tissue structures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 24 extremity CBCT scans with moderate to severe motion artifact.
  • Application of a motion compensation algorithm maximizing image sharpness for bone and soft tissue reconstructions.
  • Expert radiologist assessment of image quality using a Likert scale and Visual Grading Characteristics (VGC).

Main Results:

  • Motion-compensated images showed significant artifact reduction and improved diagnostic quality.
  • The proportion of cases rated better than "Fair" increased from <10% to 40-70% post-compensation.
  • Area under the VGC curve ranged from 0.75 (tendon) to 0.85 (cortical bone), indicating preference for compensated images.

Conclusions:

  • The motion compensation algorithm substantially enhances visualization of bone and soft tissue in extremity CBCT.
  • This method is effective in improving image quality for scans affected by patient motion.
  • Improved image quality aids in more accurate diagnosis of extremity conditions.
