Classification of Bones01:18

Classification of Bones

7.1K
The bones of the human skeletal system are of varied shapes, sizes, and functions. They can be classified based on their shape and function into four major classes: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. Some classifications include a fifth type, the sesamoid bones, as a separate class, whereas others categorize them under short bones.
Long and Short Bones
The appendicular skeleton, particularly the upper and lower limbs, is primarily made of long and short bones. The...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

6.2K
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...

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...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

38.5K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

298
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

  • Selective processing could enhance diagnostic accuracy.
  • Deep learning offers new approaches for medical image analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of using CycleGAN for selective image processing in radiography.
  • To determine if soft tissue can be effectively removed from finger X-rays.
  • To assess the potential of bone-only images for improved diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized CycleGAN, a deep learning model for image-to-image translation.
  • Applied the model to plain radiography images of fingers.
  • Focused on generating images with soft tissue removed, highlighting skeletal structures.

Main Results:

  • Successfully demonstrated the capability of CycleGAN to differentiate and remove soft tissue.
