Emission tuned-aperture computed tomography: a novel approach to scintimammography.
UNLABELLED Emission tuned-aperture computed tomography (ETACT) is a new approach to acquiring and processing scintimammography data. A gamma camera with a pinhole collimator is used to acquire projections of the radionuclide distribution within the breast. Fiducial markers are used to reconstruct these projections into tomographic slices. Simulation and phantom experiments were performed to eva...
متن کاملTexture Descriptors applied to Digital Mammography
Breast cancer is the second cause of death among women cancers. Computer Aided Detection has been demonstrated an useful tool for early diagnosis, a crucial aspect for a high survival rate. In this context, several research works have incorporated texture features in mammographic image segmentation and description such as Gray-Level co-occurrence matrices, Local Binary Patterns, and many others...
متن کاملQualitative near-infrared vascular imaging system with tuned aperture computed tomography.
We developed a novel system for imaging and qualitatively analyzing the surface vessels using near-infrared (NIR) radiation using tuned aperture computed tomography (TACT(®)). The system consisted of a NIR-sensitive CCD camera surrounded by sixty light emitting diodes (with wavelengths alternating between 700 or 810 nm). This system produced thin NIR tomograms, under 0.5 mm in slice thickness. ...
متن کاملEmbedded wavelet region-based coding methods applied to digital mammography
In this paper, we investigate region-based embedded wavelet compression methods and introduce region-based extensions of the Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) and the Set Partitioning Embedded bloCK (SPECK) coding algorithms applied to the breast region of digital mammograms. We have compared these region-based extensions, called OB-SPIHT and OB-SPECK, against the original SPIHT an...
متن کاملControlled Cardiac Computed Tomography
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has been a hot topic for years because of the clinical importance of cardiac diseases and the rapid evolution of CT systems. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy for controlled cardiac CT that may effectively reduce image artifacts due to cardiac and respiratory motions. Our approach is radically different from existing ones and is based on controlling the...
