Assessment of EIT/CT Fusion Imaging using a Biological Phantom
نویسندگان
چکیده
A cylindrical slice of seeded winter melon with an air-cavity was imaged using CT and EIT imaging systems. The structural regions were extracted from the CT image using morphological image processing algorithms and fused with the functional information of its EIT image. Fusion performance showed a detectability increase of 67% along with a structural similarity increase of 26%.

متن کاملA dual modality of cone beam CT and electrical impedance tomography for lung imaging
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a new and emerging tomographic imaging system, which is able to provide high temporal resolution with low spatial resolution. In past few years, the EIT has been extensively studied for lung monitoring. Cone beam CT (CBCT) is an imaging system used in radiation therapy unit. The CBCT suffers from motion artefacts, making treatment planning inaccurate. Th...

Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to analyze the relationship between the diagnostic ability of fused single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) images in localization of parathyroid lesions and the size of adenomas or hyperplastic glands. Methods: Five patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and 4 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) we...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication Process of MTF Phantom CT Scan
Introduction: One of the main steps in the optimization process in diagnostic imaging is the quality control of radiology devices. The usual method of CT scan calibration is used of a phantom. The phantom created a certain weakening for the radiation through which it passes. One of the most suitable methods for quantitative analysis of the resolution and contrast in CT scan im...
متن کاملWeighted frequency-difference EIT measurement of hemisphere phantom
We have proposed a new frequency difference method using a weighted voltage difference (WFD-EIT) between two frequencies [1, 2]. Previous studies demonstrated its feasibility through numerical experiments and two-dimensional phantom experiments. In this study, we validate the WFD-EIT algorithm on a three-dimensional hemisphere phantom using a multi-frequency EIT system KHU Mark1. We built the h...
