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...
Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT01:30

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and the...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray01:20

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

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...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Traditional dental radiography methods present challenges in storage, retrieval, and sharing.
  • Digitization of radiographic images offers potential for improved workflow and data management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a prototype system for the digital archiving and transmission of dental radiographs.
  • To evaluate the system's capabilities in image compression, data integration, and network sharing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a CCD video camera, personal computer with frame-grabber, and high-resolution monitor for image digitization.
  • Implemented lossless compression (factor of ~3) for archived images.
  • Integrated digitized radiographs with exposure data, patient history, and diagnostic reports.

Main Results:

  • Archived images were compressed losslessly by a factor of approximately 3.
  • Each examination could store up to 50 radiographs, convertible to TIFF format.
  • The system facilitated image sharing within a local area network.

Conclusions:

  • The prototype system demonstrates a viable method for digital archiving and transmission of dental radiographs.
  • Integration of radiographic data with clinical information enhances diagnostic capabilities.
  • Network-based sharing improves accessibility and collaboration in dental radiology.
