A Medical Imaging Demonstrator of Computed Tomography and Bone Mineral Densitometry
نویسنده
چکیده
A demonstrator of two different medical imaging techniques employed in clinical practise has been designed and built for educational purposes. The set-up demonstrates Computed Tomography and Bone Mineral Density measurement using the Dual Photon Absorption method. The system is based on a solid state CdZnTe detector and a standard PC. The mechanics of the system is controlled and data is acquired by programs written in LabView. Computed Tomography images are reconstructed using MATLAB programs.

Bone Mineral Assessment of the Axial Skeleton: Technical Aspects
The goal of this chapter is to describe the underlying principles and error sources associated with X-ray based bone densitometry methods used to assess the central skeleton. The first portion of the chapter focuses on projectional densitometry measurements which are most widely used in the clinical setting. The concepts of single and dual photon absorptiometry are used to provide a simple and ...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Tissue Densities in Computed Tomography and Three Different Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Units (In Vitro)
Background and Aim: Bone density is of great assistance in the selection of the proper implant site. The present study aimed to assess the correlation between tissue densities in computed tomography (CT) and three different cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) units. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, a radiographic phantom consisting of a transparent polymethyl methacrylate (PM...
متن کاملMaterial-specific analysis using coherent-scatter imaging.
Coherent-scatter computed tomography (CSCT) is a novel imaging method we are developing to produce cross-sectional images based on the low-angle (<10 degrees) scatter properties of tissue. At diagnostic energies, this scatter is primarily coherent with properties dependent upon the molecular structure of the scatterer. This facilitates the production of material-specific maps of each component ...

متن کاملPeripheral quantitative computed tomography of the distal radius in young subjects - new reference data and interpretation of results.
Application of bone densitometry to clinical use requires the availability of accessible reference data and is helped by an interpretative framework that is based on bone physiology. The aim of this contribution is to provide both reference data and help in the interpretation of results for peripheral quantitative computed tomography (Stratec XCT2000 performed at the distal radius of young subj...
