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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

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...

Background:

Tomography reconstructs 3D slices from 2D projections.
Mechanical system offsets cause projection misalignment, reducing spatial resolution.
Existing methods lack efficiency and accuracy in correcting these misalignments.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel and effective method for correcting image misalignments in tomography.
To improve the spatial resolution and accuracy of 3D reconstructed images.
To develop a generic method applicable to various tomography techniques.

Main Methods:

Introduced outer contour-based misalignment correction (OCMC).
Utilized the sample's outer contour as auxiliary information for misalignment estimation.
Developed an end-to-end correction method for seamless integration.

Main Results:

OCMC demonstrated significant improvements in alignment accuracy.
The method showed high time efficiency compared to existing techniques.
Validated across five diverse datasets and multiple tomography techniques.

Conclusions:

OCMC effectively corrects image misalignments in tomography.
The method enhances 3D reconstruction quality and spatial resolution.
OCMC is suitable for online processing and future feedback control in experiments.
