Chest tomosynthesis: technical principles and clinical update.
Digital tomosynthesis is a radiographic technique that can produce an arbitrary number of section images of a patient from a single pass of the X-ray tube. It utilizes a conventional X-ray tube, a flat-panel detector, a computer-controlled tube mover, and special reconstruction algorithms to produce section images. While it does not have the depth resolution of computed tomography (CT), tomosyn...
متن کاملOocyte cryopreservation : a technical and clinical update
www.expert-reviews.com ISSN 1747-4108 © 2009 Expert Reviews Ltd 10.1586/EOG.09.24 It has been almost 50 years since the feasibility of oocyte cryopreservation was successfully demonstrated in mice [1]. Since then, many cryopreservation protocols have been introduced and tested in a wide range of mammalian species. The era of oocyte cryopreservation began with the announcement of the possible su...
متن کاملDetection of pulmonary nodules in chest tomosynthesis
Chest tomosynthesis is a relatively recently introduced technique in healthcare, which produces section images of the chest at a lower radiation dose than computed tomography (CT) and with better depth resolution than conventional chest radiography. The primary aims of the studies described in this dissertation were to compare chest tomosynthesis with conventional radiography, to evaluate the e...
متن کاملDual-energy CT in oncology: technical principles and clinical prospects
Learning objectives • Dual-energy CT (DECT) can amply contribute to a more efficient workflow in oncologic imaging. • DECT has the potential to reduce the radiation dose and to replace classical dual-phase protocols. • DECT improves oncologic imaging with improved tumour detection and opens up avenues for tissue differentiation and characterisation. • DECT allows for optimised and repeatable th...
متن کاملLung Segmentation Using Prediction-Based Segmentation Improvement for Chest Tomosynthesis
Chest radiography which is the most common imaging method for lung is difficult to distinguish the lung vessels and nodules due to characteristics of representing the chest in a single image and shading occurred by organs. Computed Tomography(CT) scan has excellent lung nodule detection sensitivity because it produces chest images as volume data, but it has a large amount of exposure dose and i...
