X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

9.8K
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 Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

25.7K
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...

High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS)01:15

High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS)

2.3K
The resolution of a mass spectrometer depends on the efficiency of separating ions with different ion masses. The mass of an atom is approximated to the sum of the masses of protons and neutrons inside, considering the masses of protons and neutrons as equal. However, the masses of the proton (1.6726 × 10−24 g) and neutron (1.6749 × 10−24 g) are not truly equal. There is a minor error in the expression of atomic masses relative to the simplest atom of hydrogen. For...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

1.4K
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

9.0K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Scanning Electron Microscopy01:07

Scanning Electron Microscopy

5.3K
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Bioinformatics
  • Data Science

Background:

  • High-resolution volumetric neuroimaging datasets from electron microscopy (EM) and X-ray micro/holographic-nano tomography (XRM/XHN) are rapidly increasing.
  • These large-scale datasets, crucial for connectomics and understanding neural circuitry, lack standardized metadata, hindering integration and comparison.
  • Existing neuroinformatics data standards do not yet cover EM and XRM/XHN connectomics data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and introduce Image and Experimental Metadata Standards for EM and XRM/XHN data.
  • To ensure the scientific impact and encourage the generation and sharing of these large-scale neuroimaging datasets.
  • To support metadata services and future software designs for community collaboration in connectomics.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of a working group with community stakeholders.
  • Development of version 1.1 of Image and Experimental Metadata Standards for EM and XRM/XHN data.
  • Documentation of standards for derived annotations in a companion document and availability on a community GitHub page.

Main Results:

  • Establishment of version 1.1 of Image and Experimental Metadata Standards for EM and XRM/XHN connectomics data.
  • The standards are designed to support metadata services and future software development.
  • Standards definitions are publicly available on a community GitHub page.

Conclusions:

  • The newly developed standards are expected to enable comparative connectomics analysis.
  • These standards aim to improve interoperability between different connectomics software tools.
  • The neuroinformatics community is encouraged to refine and improve these standards for future use.
