Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

6.4K
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...

Distance Corrections01:15

Distance Corrections

96
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

Influence of Earth's Curvature and Atmospheric Refraction on Leveling

313
During leveling, the Earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction introduce deviations in the line of sight from a true horizontal reference. When the line of sight is leveled, it remains perpendicular to the plumb line only at a single point. Beyond this, it deviates due to the Earth’s curvature, represented by the correction C. For a sight distance D, the deviation can be derived using the relationship:This relationship shows that the deviation increases quadratically with distance.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Ultrasound Technology
    • Acoustic Physics

    Background:

    • Phase aberration is a primary cause of image degradation in medical pulse-echo ultrasound.
    • Existing near-field correction methods fail with distributed aberrations from spatially varying sound speeds.
    • Current distributed aberration correction techniques are impractical for clinical use due to reliance on point-like sources and diffuse scattering.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate two novel distributed aberration correction techniques for medical ultrasound.
    • To utilize sound speed estimates from a tomographic sound speed estimator for aberration correction.
    • To assess the performance of these techniques in simulations, phantom, and in vivo experiments.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a tomographic sound speed estimator based on previous work with diffuse scattering in layered media.
    • Implemented two distributed aberration correction techniques: eikonal and wavefield correlation.
    • Validated the sound speed estimator and aberration correction methods through simulations with known scattering, phantom studies, and in vivo experiments.

    Main Results:

    • Simulations characterized the performance of the sound speed estimator and correction techniques.
    • Phantom experiments demonstrated significant improvements in image quality.
    • Point target resolution improved from 0.58 mm to 0.26 mm (eikonal) and 0.27 mm (wavefield correlation).
    • Lesion contrast improved from 17.7 dB to 23.5 dB (eikonal) and 25.9 dB (wavefield correlation).

    Conclusions:

    • The developed tomographic sound speed estimator and distributed aberration correction techniques effectively address phase aberration in medical ultrasound.
    • These methods offer practical solutions for improving image quality in clinical settings, overcoming limitations of traditional approaches.
    • The demonstrated enhancements in resolution and contrast highlight the potential of these techniques for advanced medical imaging applications.
