X-ray Imaging01:24

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...

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

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 Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

4.9K
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...

Interference and Diffraction02:18

Interference and Diffraction

38.6K
Interference is a characteristic phenomenon exhibited by waves. When two electromagnetic waves interact with their peaks and troughs coinciding, a resulting wave with enhanced amplitude is produced. This is known as constructive interference. In this case, the two waves interacting are in phase with each other.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

224
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
  • Materials science
  • Image processing

Background:

  • X-ray grating interferometry (XGI) offers multi-modal imaging using attenuation, differential phase-shift, and dark-field contrasts.
  • Conventional methods struggle to characterize material structures that XGI's combined modalities could reveal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the characterization of material structures beyond conventional attenuation-based imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed an image fusion scheme using non-subsampled contourlet transform and spiking cortical model (NSCT-SCM).
  • Incorporated image denoising (Wiener filtering), NSCT-SCM fusion, and image enhancement (contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization, adaptive sharpening, gamma correction).
  • Validated the method using tri-contrast frog toe images and compared it with other fusion techniques.

Main Results:

  • The proposed NSCT-SCM fusion scheme demonstrated superior performance compared to other methods.
  • Achieved reduced noise, increased contrast, preserved more information, and enhanced details in the fused images.
  • Experimental results confirmed the efficiency and robustness of the developed image fusion approach.

Conclusions:

  • The NSCT-SCM based fusion scheme effectively combines XGI tri-contrast images.
  • This method significantly improves image quality for advanced material structure characterization.
  • The approach offers a robust and efficient solution for multi-modal X-ray imaging applications.
