Virtual Hysterosalpingography

According to the results of epidemiological studies, the incidence of infertility in marriage varies from 8 to 29% [1]. Therefore, the development of new methods of diagnosis of the causes of infertility and the improvement of existing ones, is an important issue of radiology, the solution of which will significantly reduce the share of infertile marriages. The article demonstrates the diagnostic capabilities of virtual hysterosalpingography in the diagnosis of causes of infertility. Using computed tomography hysterosalpingography were examined 185 women suffering from infertility. In the study, 39% of women were identified different pathology of the uterus and fallopian tubes, and further verified using MRI, hysteroscopy or laparoscopy. According to the results it can be concluded that virtual hysterosalpingography is an informative method in the diagnosis of pathology of the uterus and fallopian tubes that serve as causes of infertility.

Three Dimensional Images

We have developed a new X-ray microscope which produces complete three dimensional images of samples. The microscope operates by performing X-ray tomography with unprecedented resolution. Tomography is a non-invasive imaging technique that creates maps of the internal structure of samples from measurement of the attenuation of penetrating radiation. As conventionally practiced in medical Computed Tomography (CT), radiologists produce maps of bone and tissue structure in several planar sections that reveal features with 1mm resolution and 1% contrast. Microtomography extends the capability of CT in several ways. First, the resolution which approaches one micron, is one thousand times higher than that of the medical CT. Second, our approach acquires and analyses the data in a panoramic imaging format that directly produces three-dimensional maps in a series of contiguous stacked planes. Typical maps available today consist of three hundred planar sections each containing 512x512 pixels. Finally, and perhaps of most import scientifically, microtomography using a synchrotron X-ray source, allows us to generate maps of individual element.
