Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

7.5K
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...

Positron Emission Tomography

6.4K
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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.6K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Science
    • Image Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Tomographic image reconstruction is an ill-posed inverse problem.
    • Deep neural networks are explored for regularization by learning priors.

    Main Methods:

    • Decomposing image estimates into generalized measurement and null components.
    • Developing and applying a 'hallucination map'.
    • Conducting numerical studies on a stylized tomographic modality.

    Main Results:

    • The hallucination map effectively illustrates the impact of priors on image reconstruction.
    • Different reconstruction methods show varying behaviors under the proposed analysis.
    • The study provides a framework for understanding prior-induced artifacts.

    Conclusions:
