X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

5.8K
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...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples01:10

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

3.9K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are  scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The  X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

230
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • X-ray Physics
  • Computational Imaging

Background:

  • Conventional x-ray imaging lacks quantitative information due to scatter, beam hardening, and tissue overlay.
  • Previous single-shot quantitative x-ray imaging (SSQI) methods demonstrated feasibility using simulations and iterative techniques.
  • Accurate material-specific density quantification is crucial for advanced diagnostic and interventional imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, computationally efficient algorithm pipeline for SSQI.
  • To enable accurate material decomposition (MD) and scatter correction in x-ray imaging.
  • To validate the proposed SSQI method through simulations and experimental phantom studies.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a new SSQI algorithm pipeline utilizing a primary modulator (PM) and dual-layer (DL) detector.
  • Jointly recovered scatter and material-specific images by solving four equations derived from DL measurements.
  • Employed the low-frequency property of scatter and pre-calibrated material decomposition for accurate quantification.

Main Results:

  • The new SSQI algorithm demonstrated robustness against scatter in simulations, reducing RMSE by 52%-84% compared to uncorrected methods.
  • Performance improved with smaller PM pitch size and reduced focal spot blur.
  • Successfully separated soft tissue and bone in experimental chest phantom studies with ~8s processing time per view.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed SSQI algorithm pipeline achieves accurate quantification and high computational efficiency.
  • The method shows significant potential for widespread adoption in quantitative x-ray imaging.
  • SSQI advancements could enable real-time image guidance and improved cone-beam CT applications.
