Computed Tomography

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 Studies III: Computed Tomography

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...

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel, computationally efficient deep learning model for spine segmentation and vertebrae recognition using CT images.
To improve accuracy in spine analysis compared to existing methods.

Main Methods:

A two-step approach using a cascaded hierarchical atrous spatial pyramid pooling residual attention U-Net (CHASPPRAU-Net) for spine segmentation.
A 3D mobile residual U-Net (MRU-Net) incorporating MobileNetv2, residual, and attention modules for vertebrae recognition from multi-view 3D spine images.
Validation on the VerSe 20 and VerSe 19 datasets.

Main Results:

The proposed model demonstrated higher accuracy in both spine segmentation and vertebrae recognition.
Achieved superior performance over current state-of-the-art methods on benchmark datasets.

Conclusions:

The novel deep learning model offers an effective and accurate solution for spine segmentation and vertebrae recognition.
This approach presents a computationally efficient advancement in medical image analysis for spinal disorders.
