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...
Estimation of the Physical Quantities01:05

Estimation of the Physical Quantities

On many occasions, physicists, other scientists, and engineers need to make estimates of a particular quantity. These are sometimes referred to as guesstimates, order-of-magnitude approximations, back-of-the-envelope calculations, or Fermi calculations. The physicist Enrico Fermi was famous for his ability to estimate various kinds of data with surprising precision. Estimating does not mean guessing a number or a formula at random. Instead, estimation means using prior experience and sound...

Distance Measurements by Taping

Tapes are essential in surveying for accurate, durable, and short-distance measurements. Made from lightweight, nylon-coated steel, they offer flexibility and strength for rugged outdoor use. The nylon coating protects against rust and wear, extending the tape's life. Standard lengths, around 30 meters, are marked in meters and millimeters for precision.Surveyors select tapes based on site conditions and accuracy needs. Lightweight, nylon-coated tapes are commonly used for ease of handling and...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Cell Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Polyploidy (whole-genome duplication) is a widespread yet understudied phenomenon in multicellular organisms.
  • It plays crucial roles in tissue development, stress response, and disease progression.
  • Current methods for polyploidy detection are destructive or labor-intensive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rapid, high-throughput method for quantifying nuclear ploidy in intact tissues.
  • To introduce iSPy (inferring Spatial Ploidy), an unsupervised learning pipeline for spatial ploidy mapping.
  • To enable sensitive and efficient ploidy identification across various biological contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an unsupervised machine learning pipeline named iSPy.
  • Applied iSPy to analyze nuclear ploidy in intact tissues.
  • Demonstrated adaptability to different tissue preparations (whole mount, sectioned) and organisms.

Main Results:

  • iSPy successfully generates spatial maps of nuclear ploidy.
  • The pipeline was validated in *Arabidopsis*, *Drosophila*, and human tissues.
  • High-throughput and sensitive ploidy quantification was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • iSPy provides a non-destructive, rapid, and high-throughput solution for nuclear ploidy analysis.
  • This tool facilitates the study of polyploidy in diverse biological systems.
