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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Communicating complex computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data to clinicians for risk assessment and treatment planning is challenging.
  • Existing visualization tools often do not integrate with established medical imaging infrastructures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop techniques for translating CFD data into the DICOM file format.
  • To enable interactive visualization of CFD data in standard radiological software.

Main Methods:

  • CFD data (velocity, Q-criterion, pathlines) were resampled to structured grids.
  • Novel raster-based techniques simulated optical blurring for pathline visualization.
  • DICOM series were created by encoding CFD and lumen surface data into the PixelArray tag.

Main Results:

  • 3D temporal CFD data in DICOM format were interactively rendered in Horos software.
  • Transfer functions allowed real-time modification of visualizations (isosurfaces, volumetric rendering, pathlines).
  • Voxelization strategies ensured lightweight data for real-time rendering and minimal storage.

Conclusions:

  • Standardizing CFD data in DICOM facilitates clinical interaction and integration with radiological workflows.
  • This approach enables the seamless incorporation of simulated and measured data into PACS and 3D/4D visualization environments.
