Estimability index for volume quantification of homogeneous spherical lesions in computed tomography.
Volume of lung nodules is an important biomarker, quantifiable from computed tomography (CT) images. The usefulness of volume quantification, however, depends on the precision of quantification. Experimental assessment of precision is time consuming. A mathematical estimability model was used to assess the quantification precision of CT nodule volumetry in terms of an index ([Formula: see text]...
متن کاملComputed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Lesions in and Around the Saddle Area
Computed tomography is the method of choice for initial evaluation of pa tints with potential suprasellar masses. In our experience during the last 2 years C.T. has proved reliable for detecting or rulling out the presence of a suprasellar mass. It shows the direction and degree of parasellar extension and the presence of any calcific or cystic component of the lesion. When C.T. was negat...
متن کاملProjected index computed tomography.
Projected index computed tomography (PICT) is a new imaging technique that provides a computed reconstruction of the index of refraction of a sample. PICT makes use of data from standard optical coherence tomography images taken from several view angles to determine a mapping of the refractive indices of the sample. A rectilinear propagation model is assumed, so the data are understood to be re...
متن کاملFiltered backprojection for thermoacoustic computed tomography in spherical geometry
Thermoacoustic computed tomography (TCT) is a novel imaging technique for non-destructive evaluation and medical imaging. It uses electromagnetic energy as input and the induced thermoacoustic pressure eld as measurement output. The determination of the unknown energy deposition function is based on the integral geometric problem of reconstructing a function from its integrals over certain sphe...
متن کاملEvaluation of effect of gold nanorods and spherical gold nanoparticles of different sizes on X-ray attenuation in computed tomography
Introduction: To date, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been demonstrated to have great potential as contrast agent for CT imaging and therapeutics. This study was designed to evaluate any effect on X-ray attenuation that might result from using GNPs with a variety of size, surface chemistries and shapes. Materials and Methods: Spherical GNPs and gold nanorod...
