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...

Deformation of a Beam under Transverse Loading

435
Understanding beam deflection, particularly for indeterminate beams with overhanging segments and multiple concentrated loads, is crucial for ensuring structural integrity and functionality. The process begins with constructing an accurate free-body diagram, which helps identify the forces and moments acting on the beam. This diagram is vital for visualizing how bending moments vary along the beam's length, influencing its curvature.
The insights from the bending moment diagram extend to...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

38.6K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for simultaneously correcting beam hardening and metal artifacts in CT images.
  • To improve the diagnostic accuracy of CT images affected by these artifacts.
  • To enhance the efficiency of CT image reconstruction algorithms.

Main Methods:

  • Exploited data consistency condition to formulate an objective function.
  • Employed a non-convex optimization algorithm to determine optimal scaling factors.
  • Developed an optimal bone correction method for artifact suppression.
