Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

4.6K
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...

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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.4K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

4.3K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

    • Medical Imaging
    • Materials Science
    • Computational Physics

    Background:

    • Conventional x-ray phase-contrast tomography (PB-CT) typically performs phase retrieval on 2D projections.

    • Developed a 3D phase retrieval method using contrast-transfer-function (CTF) formalism applied to the reconstructed CT volume.
    • Extended CTF formalism for partially coherent illumination and strongly absorbing samples.
    • Validated the method using simulated data.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed post-reconstruction CTF method achieves fast and stable phase retrieval.
    • Results are equivalent to conventional pre-reconstruction 2D CTF phase retrieval.
    • The method allows localized application to regions of interest, enhancing computational efficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • The new 3D reconstruction technique offers advantages in speed, stability, and computational efficiency.
    • It provides an effective alternative to conventional PB-CT and methods based on the transport-of-intensity equation.
