What is tomography?

  • Tomography aims to reveal the internal structure of a patient based on X-ray images taken from different directions. The resulting slice image is formed with a mathematical algorithm.
    I am a professional mathematician studying inverse problems of medical imaging. In this video I explain how the tomographic image is calculated. The explanation is visual and aimed at a general audience.

    • @Samuntiedekanava
      @Samuntiedekanava  Před 2 lety +1

      The photo example is indeed a bit exaggerated, for clarity. For example, it involves taking the absolute value, which the FBP process does not use. But in FBP the filter just perfectly removes the blur. If you apply it another time, though, you would indeed see two hollow circles!

    Thank You so much for this beautiful explanation. I have a question about the filter that you are using in the Fourier Space. With the increase in the amplitude in the Fourier space there should be an increase in the Noise. Is that an issue faced with the current system?

    • @Samuntiedekanava
      @Samuntiedekanava  Před 4 lety

      Indeed it is an issue. In practical FBP algorithms there is a variety of high-frequency cutoff or suppression filters. For example, instead of indefinitely increasing the frequency response linearly, it may become constant outside a disc. In this presentation I chose to talk about the ideal mathematical situation only, for brevity.

    Entä jos kappaleet eivät ole staattisia? Luulen, että liikkuvia kappaleitakin voidaan kuvata tomografialla. Liikkeitä voi olla kahdenlaisia: paikka liikkuu tai muoto liikkuu.
    What if the object isn't static? I think that moving objects can also be imaged by tomography. There are two types of movements: the place moves or the shape moves.

    • @Samuntiedekanava
      @Samuntiedekanava  Před 4 lety

      Erinomainen kysymys. Tämä on yksi tutkimusaiheistani parhaillaan. Liikkuvan kohteen kuvaaminen onnistuu kohtuullisen hyvin esimerkiksi videon käsittelyyn kehitetyn optisen virtauksen avulla. Täytyypä tehdä oma videonsa siitä!

    • @Samuntiedekanava
