X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

9.6K
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

433
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

335
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

977
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

356
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Classification of Bones01:18

Classification of Bones

9.4K
The bones of the human skeletal system are of varied shapes, sizes, and functions. They can be classified based on their shape and function into four major classes: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. Some classifications include a fifth type, the sesamoid bones, as a separate class, whereas others categorize them under short bones.
Long and Short Bones
The appendicular skeleton, particularly the upper and lower limbs, is primarily made of long and short bones. The...

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Chest X-rays are crucial for lung cancer screening.
  • Overlapping bones in X-rays can obscure lung nodules, hindering early detection.

Main Methods:

  • A convolutional neural filter (CNF) based on convolutional neural networks was proposed.
  • The CNF processes pixel neighborhoods to identify and quantify bone components.
  • A bone-extracted image was generated and subtracted from the original X-ray to create a bone-suppressed image.

Main Results:

  • The CNF with six convolutional layers achieved 89.2% accuracy in bone suppression.
  • The method effectively suppressed bone components while preserving soft-tissue details.
  • Abnormalities were clearly visualized, indicating reduced chances of missed diagnoses.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed CNF method offers a significant improvement in bone suppression accuracy for chest X-rays.
  • This technique enhances the visibility of lung abnormalities, aiding in early lung cancer detection.
  • The CNF is a valuable tool for improving the diagnostic utility of chest X-ray imaging.
