Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

4.7K
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...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

319
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

X-ray Imaging

5.7K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Background:

  • Traditional image reconstruction methods like filtered back-projection (FBP) and iterative reconstruction (IR) have limitations in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT).
  • Optimizing radiation dose while maintaining diagnostic image quality is crucial for patient safety in LDCT scans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the dose reduction potential and image quality of deep learning-based image reconstruction (DLIR) against FBP and IR.
  • To determine the clinically usable dose for DLIR in low-dose chest CT (LDCT) examinations.

Main Methods:

  • Chest phantom CT scans were acquired at varying radiation doses and reconstructed using FBP, IR, and DLIR techniques.
  • Subjective image quality was assessed by radiologists on a 5-point scale, while quantitative analysis included signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and nodule measurements.

Main Results:

  • DLIR methods, particularly DLIR-High, demonstrated superior image quality and noise reduction compared to FBP and IR at significantly lower radiation doses.
  • Quantitative analysis showed higher SNR and CNR with DLIR-High. Nodule volume and size measurements were more accurate with DLIR-High.

Conclusions:

  • DLIR significantly improves image quality in LDCT compared to FBP and IR, enabling substantial dose reduction.
  • An effective dose of 0.24 mGy with DLIR-High is proposed as clinically usable for LDCT.
