Chapter 1: Diagnostic Medical Imaging: X-ray projection technique, image subtraction method, direct digital x-ray imaging, computed tomography (CT).
In 1896 W.C. Röntgen announced the discovery of the potential of an at that time yet unknown type of radiation to penetrate materials and to cause opacification of photographic plates (after development). It turned out that various biological tissues attenuated this radiation differently such that the generation of projections of the human body onto a photographic plate was possible (Fig. 1.1)....
متن کاملX-ray Computed Tomography for Medical Imaging
Themathematical principles of computed tomography (CT) were first investigated by J. Radon [28] as early as 1917 and were later extended to complex fields by Kirillov [22]. The first application of tomography was, surprisingly, in radio astronomy [2], and today, it finds usage in diverse fields such as medical imaging, seismology, and underwater acoustic imaging. In medical imaging, CT has had ...
متن کاملDigital X-Ray Imaging
The use of X-ray image receptors that produce a digital image is becoming increasingly important. Possible benefits include improved dynamic range and detective quantum efficiency, improved detectability for objects of low intrinsic contrast, and reduced radiation dose. The image can be available quickly. The display is separated from the image capture so that processing and contrast adjustment...
متن کاملDigital image acquisition and processing in medical x-ray imaging
This contribution discusses a selection of today's techniques and futurc concepts for digital x-ray imaging in medicine. Advantages of digital imaging over conventional analog methods include the possibility to archive and transmit images in digital intormation systems as well as to digitally process pictures before display, for example, to enhance low contrast details. After reviewing two digi...
متن کاملIntravenous angiography using digital video subtraction: x-ray imaging system.
An x-ray imaging system, using digital subtraction techniques, has been developed. The system requires: (1) high output generation equipment; (2) an image intensifier capable of receiving high output exposures, 1 mR (2.58 X 10(-7) C/kg) at the face of the intensifier, without loss of either contrast or resolution; (3) a precision digital video camera; (4) processing computer with sufficient sto...
