Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Overview

2.8K
Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) is an analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of a sample by analyzing the light emitted from excited atoms. In AES, atoms in a sample are excited to higher energy levels by thermal energy from high-temperature sources, such as plasma, arcs, or sparks. When these excited atoms return to lower energy states, they emit light at specific wavelengths characteristic of each element. The resulting atomic emission spectrum, which consists of...

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 Imaging
  • Machine Learning in Radiology

Background:

  • Compton scatter tomography (CST) reconstruction is challenging, especially when scatter attenuation is unknown.
  • Existing mathematical methods for CST reconstruction vary and lack a unified approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel joint reconstruction method for Compton scatter tomography.
  • To leverage structural similarity between scatter and attenuation images using a deep learning model.
  • To implement an alternating iterative reconstruction scheme for improved accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • A single-view computed tomography (CT) imaging procedure for recording Compton scatter.
  • A joint reconstruction model iterating between algebraic scatter reconstruction and deep learning-based attenuation estimation.
  • Testing on simulated 2D phantom and realistic CT image datasets.

Main Results:

  • The model demonstrated convergence and good reconstruction quality for distinguishing tumors and lesions.
  • Achieved a structural similarity index of at least 0.82 for scatter and 0.88 for attenuation with simulated data.
  • Validated the potential utility of deep learning in CST.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed iterative, deep learning approach shows promise for efficient medical imaging.
  • This method can reconstruct images effectively even with limited scatter information.
  • Potential for future advancements in diagnostic imaging procedures.
