Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

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...

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...

Anatomy of the Eyeball

9.1K
The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Understanding the human eye's optical performance is crucial for diagnosing and treating various ocular conditions.
  • Previous models lacked the ability to accurately simulate the biomechanical properties of eye tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a detailed, three-dimensional virtual biomechanical model of the human eye.
  • To enhance the understanding of optical performance in both healthy and diseased eyes through advanced simulation.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of CT and MRI scans from six patients (ages 21-80).
  • Selection of CT images from a 54-year-old male for model construction.
  • Utilized Vesalius and Geomagic for SolidWorks software for virtual model development.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive virtual model of the human skull, including the orbit and eye globe with extraocular muscles, was successfully generated.
  • The SolidWorks model facilitates the integration of materials with properties mirroring real eye tissues.
  • The model is suitable for diverse simulations of healthy and pathological ocular conditions.

Conclusions:

  • A biomechanical eye model was successfully created from an "in vivo" basis.
  • The SolidWorks format allows for simulations with properties identical to the human eyeball, ensuring high fidelity.
  • This virtual model offers a powerful tool for realistic eye simulations in research and clinical applications.
