Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

4.5K
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 I: CT and MRI

238
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

X-ray Imaging

5.5K
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...

X-ray Crystallography

23.9K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Image Processing

Background:

  • Motion artifacts are a significant challenge in X-ray computed tomography (CT).
  • Existing methods for motion correction are often global and lack localized assessment.
  • Operator experience heavily influences the quality of CT images affected by motion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel image-space spatial- and temporal-consistency metric (CM) for detecting and characterizing local motion artifacts in CT.
  • To address the need for automated, quantitative local measures of motion artifact presence and severity.
  • To provide clinicians with information about the nature of motion artifacts relevant to diagnostic tasks.

Main Methods:

  • Characterize motion by analyzing small, rigid target objects within non-rigid organs (e.g., lung).
  • Utilize preliminary image reconstruction to identify target objects and define regions of interest.
  • Calculate the CM based on backprojected intensity differences, with linearity indicating motion severity.

Main Results:

  • Extensive computer simulations validated the CM's sensitivity to various motion types and imaging conditions.
  • The proposed CM demonstrated robustness across different testing scenarios.
  • Validation with a cardiac swine scan showed good correlation between CM and visual artifact assessment.

Conclusions:

  • The developed CM effectively detects and characterizes local motion artifacts in CT.
  • Unlike global methods, the CM provides localized, view-by-view quantitative assessment of motion severity.
  • This localized information can optimize CT image reconstruction and minimize artifacts.
