概括
研究了使用光子计数CT (PCCT) 的超高分辨率 (UHR) 肺CT的最佳强度水平. 在UHR PCCT肺部成像中,建议使用QIR-3来平衡客观图像质量和读者偏好.
科学领域:
- 医疗成像医学成像
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
- 肺部成像 - 肺部成像
背景情况:
- 光子计数CT (PCCT) 提供超高分辨率 (UHR) 成像能力.
- 定量图像重建 (QIR) 是优化PCCT图像质量的关键技术.
- 确定最佳的QIR强度对于肺成像的诊断准确性至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 使用PCCT确定UHR肺成像的最佳QIR强度水平.
- 评估不同QIR强度水平对客观和主观图像质量指标的影响.
- 为肺部的UHR PCCT建立一个推的QIR设置.
主要方法:
- 追溯分析24个没有增强的胸部CT扫描,这些扫描采用了新的UHR PCCT协议.
- 在标准分辨率 (SR) 和UHR (0.2毫米) 进行的图像重建,使用QIR强度级别0-4.
- 通过肺膜衰减,噪声,SNR和CNR评估的客观图像质量.
- 主观图像质量由两名放射科医生评估,使用5分利克尔特尺度对清晰度,噪音和气道细节进行评估.
主要成果:
- 随着QIR强度的增加 (QIR-0到QIR-4) 的客观图像质量和降噪率线性地得到改善.
- 主观图像噪声在QIR-4.0时是最低的.
- 读者对清晰度和气道细节的偏好在中间QIR水平 (SR的QIR-1/QIR-2,UHR的QIR-2/QIR-3) 中最高.
结论:
- 更高的QIR水平提高了客观图像质量,但可能与读者对主观细节的偏好不一致.
- 建议QIR-3作为肺部UHRPCCT的最佳设置,平衡客观和主观图像质量.
- 这一发现有助于优化PCCT协议,以提高肺部成像诊断性能.

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction
2.4K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.

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...
