X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples01:10

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

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 crystal...

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

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 Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

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-rays, and by 1900, X-ray was widely...
Computed Tomography01:10

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...
Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

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 being...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence in Diagnostics
  • X-ray Physics

Background:

  • Grating-based X-ray imaging (GBXI) offers valuable tri-contrast signals (absorption, phase, dark-field) for clinical diagnostics.
  • Traditional GBXI necessitates phase stepping, resulting in elevated radiation doses for patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel single projection grating-based X-ray tri-contrast imaging network (SP-XTIN).
  • To enable tri-contrast imaging with reduced radiation exposure by eliminating the need for phase stepping.

Main Methods:

  • A Pix2pixHD-based neural network architecture was employed.
  • A multi-task learning strategy was utilized to generate simultaneous tri-contrast images.
  • An edge loss term was incorporated to improve image detail and edge preservation.

Main Results:

  • The SP-XTIN was successfully validated using both synchrotron radiation and laboratory X-ray tube source datasets.
  • High Feature Similarity Index Measure (FSIM) values were achieved, demonstrating the network's efficacy in reconstructing accurate tri-contrast signals.
  • FSIM values exceeded 0.96 for all signals across both datasets.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed SP-XTIN is a significant advancement in grating-based X-ray imaging technology.
  • This method effectively reduces radiation dose while maintaining high image quality.
  • The SP-XTIN is poised to contribute to the future development of clinical X-ray diagnostics.
