DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Computed Tomography

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...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

5.9K
Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

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:

  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Medical Physics
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a non-invasive imaging method using light to detect tissue anomalies.
  • Traditional DOT image reconstruction involves computationally intensive inverse problem solving, limiting its clinical application.
  • Developing efficient algorithms for DOT is crucial for advancing medical diagnostics.

  • To evaluate the performance of the deep learning-based DOT (DL-DOT) system against analytical solutions.

Main Methods:

  • A regression-based cascaded feed-forward deep learning neural network was designed to solve the DOT inverse problem.
  • A Monte Carlo algorithm was used to simulate light propagation in compressed breast models, generating the dataset (forward process).
  • Performance was assessed using Pearson correlation coefficient (R) and Mean Squared Error (MSE) metrics.

Main Results:

  • The DL-DOT system demonstrated a ~30% improvement in R compared to the analytical solution, despite using a smaller dataset.
  • The proposed neural network significantly outperformed the analytical solution in terms of MSE, indicating greater robustness.
  • The developed deep learning model effectively visualizes breast tissues and anomalies.

Conclusions:

  • The developed feed-forward deep learning network provides an efficient and robust solution for the DOT inverse problem in breast imaging.
  • This AI-driven approach shows significant potential for improving the accuracy and speed of DOT for medical applications.
  • The DL-DOT system is adaptable for clinical settings, offering a promising advancement in non-invasive breast anomaly detection.
