Cortical measurements of the tibia from high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography images: A comparison with micro-computed tomography

Airway dimensions measured from micro-computed tomography and high-resolution computed tomography.

Volume averaging results in both over- and underestimation of airway dimensions when they are measured by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The current authors calibrated computerised measurements of airway dimensions from HRCT against a novel three-dimensional micro-computed tomography (CT) standard, which has a 50-fold greater resolution, as well as against traditional morphometry. ...

High-resolution computed tomography

This paper investigates high-resolution reconstructions from eeciently sampled data in parallel-beam tomography, in particular local tomography. A class of sampling schemes is deened and characterized, and it is shown that the standard scheme and the interlaced scheme of Cormack are most promising. An error analysis for the ltered backprojection algorithm for both global and local tomography is...

An automated algorithm for the detection of cortical interruptions on high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography images of finger joints

OBJECTIVES To introduce a fully-automated algorithm for the detection of small cortical interruptions (≥0.246mm in diameter) on high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) images, and to investigate the additional value of manual correction of the automatically obtained contours (semi-automated procedure). METHODS Ten metacarpophalangeal joints from seven patients wi...
