2016 Student Symposium: Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics
(Virginia Tech, 2016)The SBES Graduate Student Research Symposium was developed to provide students and faculty the opportunity to interact and exchange research ideas with colleagues and industry personnel. This program book includes a schedule ... -
Axiomatic Imaging Theory - Formulate with Fairness & Fun
(2008-06-17)There are many imaging systems. Their performance characterization is important for all applications. Various definitions are introduced for quantification of image resolution, which is the ability of an imaging system to ... -
Bioluminescence Tomography - Inner-light, Insight from Infrared
(2008-06-12)Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is a molecular imaging modality, which derives a bioluminescent source distribution inside a small animal from external bioluminescent signals. We published the first paper on BLT in 2004 ... -
Bolus-chasing CT Angiography - Catch the Contrast via Control
(2008-06-16)Intravenous injection of contrast media is required to enhance conspicuity of the vasculature, organs and tumors in CT angiography (CTA) for diagnosis of cardiovascular structures, peripheral vessels and solid organs. The ... -
Development and Applications of Interior Tomography - Multi-source Interior Tomography for Ultrafast Performance
(2010-04-05)Conventional tomography allows excellent reconstruction of an object from non-truncated projections. The long-standing interior problem is to reconstruct an interior ROI accurately only from local projection segments. ... -
Fast CT Reconstruction - Practical Performance via Parallelization
(2008-06-12)Parallel computing has been used to solve large-scale problems in many fields. While CT is being developed towards high-resolution, volumetric, dynamic and spectral imaging, datasets become increasingly large, and ... -
Fluorescence Tomography - Monitor Malignancy in Mice
(2008-06-12)Dr. Cui's group at Wake Forest has been investigating a newly discovered innate anticancer immunity in a colony of cancer resistant mice, and already demonstrated that the anticancer activity in the mice stems from the ... -
Gel'fand-Graev's Reconstruction Formula in the 3D Real Space - a Framework towards a General Interior Tomography Theory
(2010-05-31)In [1-4], I. M. Gel'fand and M. I. Graev proposed inversion formulas for x-ray transforms in different spaces. In particular, Gel’fand-Graev’s inversion formula [1] is a fundamental relationship linking projection data to ... -
How to Define the Next Generation Cardiac CT Architecture? - a Contemporary Challenge for Interdisciplinary Collaboration
(2010-05-21)Cardiovascular diseases are pervasive with high mortality and morbidity at tremendous social and healthcare costs. There are urgent needs for significantly higher fidelity cardiac CT with substantially lower radiation dose, ... -
Image Warping - Unravel Unevenness into Uniformity
(2008-06-21)Demonstrations of anatomical systems computationally extracted from spiral CT images and then unraveled onto a plane in vivo to ultimately conceive 3D individualized models. -
Interior Tomography - Depict with Direct Data
(2008-06-14)While the conventional wisdom states that the interior problem - to reconstruct a region of interest (ROI) only from projection data through the ROI - does not have a unique solution, in June 2007 we published the first ... -
Phase Approximation Model - Approximation Amazingly Accurate
(2008-06-20)The radiative transfer equation (RTE) well describes the photon propagation but its high computational cost is prohibitive for tomographic imaging. The diffusion approximation (DA) to RTE is the most popular but it only ... -
Results in the Past
(2010-02-04)Past research results include the following: • Modern CT scanners that use spiral-beam scanning and perform >100-million scans annually in the USA • Construction of the only 500nm resolution micro-CT system on the East ... -
SBES Advanced Multi-scale CT Facility at Virginia Tech - From Multi-scale to Multi-energy and Multi-Parameter Imaging Capabilities
(2010-04-05)While clinical CT scanners are available at our medical school, for preclinical imaging we have a Scanco micro-CT scanner, an Xradia micro-CT scanner and an Xradia nano-CT scanner. With all these scanners, we can cover ... -
Spiral Cone-beam CT - Successes with Spiral Scans
(2008-06-12)X-ray computed tomography (CT) is instrumental in medicine, industry and homeland security, which depicts internal structures of an object from its shadows projected in a fan-beam or cone-beam from an x-ray source along a ... -
Spiral CT of the Temporal Bone
(2010-11-01)Maximum image resolution with commercial spiral CT scanners is inadequate to define clearly the anatomical features and electrode positions within this intricate, 3D space. The objective of this research was to develop ... -
Student Symposium: 16th Annual School of Biomedical Engineering & Sciences Graduate Student Research Symposium
(Virginia Tech, 2017-05-10)The Virginia Tech - Wake Forest University Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Student Chapter hosts an annual Graduate Student Research Symposium to provide students with the opportunity to interact and exchange ...
