Computed Tomography

7.8K
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...

Deformation of Member under Multiple Loadings01:11

Deformation of Member under Multiple Loadings

375
When a rod is made of different materials or has various cross-sections, it must be divided into parts that meet the necessary conditions for determining the deformation. These parts are each characterized by their internal force, cross-sectional area, length, and modulus of elasticity. These parameters are then used to compute the deformation of the entire rod.
In the case of a member with a variable cross-section, the strain is not constant but depends on the position. The deformation of an...

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a novel approach to accelerate graph-cut based deformable registration.
  • Implemented a strategy of dividing images into overlapping sub-regions.
  • Restricted alpha-expansion moves to a single sub-region at a time to optimize computation.

Main Results:

  • Achieved substantial reduction in computation time, decreasing it from days to minutes.
  • Demonstrated that the proposed method has only a minor impact on the quality of the registration solution.
  • Made graph-cut based deformable registration practical for large volume medical images.

Conclusions:
