X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

8.4K
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

312
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

186
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

89
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

6.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Subtraction angiography is crucial for visualizing blood vessels but is susceptible to motion artifacts.
  • Dual-energy imaging (DEI) offers improved material differentiation but often requires multiple exposures, increasing artifact risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of single-exposure dual-energy imaging (DEI) for motion-artifact-free subtraction angiography.
  • To develop and evaluate a novel detector system for simultaneous low- and high-energy image acquisition.

Main Methods:

  • Fabricated a sandwich-like multilayered detector with two tandem phosphor-coupled photodiode array layers.
  • Developed an analytic model for DE-reconstructed image signals.
  • Utilized plastic phantoms with iodinated water to assess concentration and size discrimination capabilities.

Main Results:

  • Image noise relative to signal was largely independent of iodine mass thickness.
  • Iodine detectability improved with increasing iodine mass thickness.
  • Lower tube voltages (e.g., 60 kV) demonstrated superior detectability performance compared to higher voltages.

Conclusions:

  • Single-exposure DEI is a feasible approach for motion-artifact-free subtraction angiography.
  • The developed detector and method show potential for enhanced diagnostic imaging in angiography.
  • Optimizing tube voltage is crucial for maximizing iodine detectability in DEI.
