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...

Positron Emission Tomography

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...

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...

Background:

Current computed tomography (CT) technologies struggle with insufficient temporal resolution for cardiac imaging, especially in preclinical research with high animal heart rates.
Existing CT systems face challenges in achieving the necessary speed for dynamic cardiac imaging, limiting diagnostic capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel CT system with significantly improved temporal resolution for cardiac imaging.
To address the limitations of current CT technology in capturing high-heart-rate cardiac dynamics.

Main Methods:

Introduction of the Semi-stationary Multi-source AI-based Real-time Tomography (SMART) CT system, featuring 29 fixed source-detector pairs for parallel X-ray signal collection.
Development of an AI-empowered interior tomography approach combining sparsity-based regularization and learning-based reconstruction to solve the limited field-of-view interior problem.
Validation of the SMART system through physical phantom experiments and animal studies (rats and rabbits).

Main Results:

The SMART system achieved an unprecedented temporal resolution of 33ms for cardiac CT.
Reconstructed volumetric images demonstrated the system's capability in capturing cardiac dynamics with high fidelity.
The AI-empowered interior tomography approach effectively synergized regularization and learning for superior image reconstruction.

Conclusions:

The SMART CT system, coupled with AI-empowered interior tomography, provides the highest temporal resolution for cardiac CT to date.
This advancement enables high-quality, real-time cardiac imaging, overcoming previous limitations in speed and resolution.
The developed system holds significant potential for both preclinical research and challenging clinical cardiac imaging scenarios.
