The Fourier Transform

This research was aimed to study CT image features based on the backprojection filtering reconstruction algorithm and evaluate the effect of ropivacaine combined with dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine on assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy to provide reference for clinical diagnosis. A total of 110 patients undergoing laparoscopic resection were selected as the study subjects. Anesthesia induction and nerve block were performed with ropivacaine combined with dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine before surgery, and chest CT scan was performed. The backprojection image reconstruction algorithm was constructed and applied to patient CT images for reconstruction processing. The results showed that when the overlapping step size was 16 and the block size was 32 × 32, the running time of the algorithm was the shortest. The resolution and sharpness of reconstructed images were better than the Fourier transform analytical method and iterative reconstruction algorithm. The detection rates of lung nodules smaller than 6 mm and 6–30 mm (92.35% and 95.44%) were significantly higher than those of the Fourier transform analytical method and iterative reconstruction algorithm (90.98% and 87.53%; 88.32% and 90.87%) ( P < 0.05 ). After anesthesia induction and lobectomy with ropivacaine combined with dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine, the visual analogue scale (VAS) decreased with postoperative time. The VAS score decreased to a lower level (1.76 ± 0.54) after five days. In summary, ropivacaine combined with dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine had better sedation and analgesia effects in patients with thoracoscopic lobectomy. CT images based on backprojection reconstruction algorithm had a high recognition accuracy for lung lesions.

The Difference

In order to analyze the change characteristics of blood flow field in cerebral aneurysms before and after stent implantation, this study first constructed an optimized iterative reconstruction algorithm to reconstruct CT images of patients with cerebral aneurysms and used it to solve the problem of image sharpness. In addition, backprojection image reconstruction algorithm and Fourier transform analytic method were introduced. According to the CT images of cerebral arteries of patients, the lesions were presented in a three-dimensional and visual way through the reconstructed three-dimensional images, thus achieving the effects of simulation and simulation. The results showed that the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the optimized iterative reconstruction algorithm were 90.78%, 83.27%, and 94.82%, which were significantly higher than those of the backprojection image reconstruction algorithm and Fourier transform analysis method, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Before operation, the blood flow velocity in the neck of aneurysm was 7.35 × 10−2 m/s, the exit velocity was 1.51 × 10−1 m/s, and the maximum velocity appeared in the upstream part of the exit. After passing through the aneurysm, the blood flow velocity began to decrease gradually, forming a vortex at the top of the tumor. After stent implantation, the neck and outlet velocities of cerebral aneurysm were 9.352 × 10−2 m/s and 1.897 × 10−2 m/s, respectively. The velocity of blood flow decreased after entering the aneurysm, and there was no vortex at the top of the aneurysm. Among the outlet velocities of arterial blood vessels, the velocity before stent implantation was significantly lower than that after stent implantation, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with prestent, the shear force distribution on the wall of cerebral aneurysm showed a significant decrease, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). To sum up, pelvic floor ultrasound based on hybrid iterative reconstruction algorithm has high accuracy in diagnosing the changes of blood flow field in cerebral aneurysms. The application of CT images in the diagnosis of cerebral aneurysms can objectively provide imaging data for clinical practice and has high application value.

Abstract Purpose In Talbot–Lau X-ray phase contrast imaging, the measured phase value depends on the position of the object in the measurement setup. When imaging large objects, this may lead to inhomogeneous phase contributions within the object. These inhomogeneities introduce artifacts in tomographic reconstructions of the object. Methods In this work, we compare recently proposed approaches to correct such reconstruction artifacts. We compare an iterative reconstruction algorithm, a known operator network and a U-net. The methods are qualitatively and quantitatively compared on the Shepp–Logan phantom and on the anatomy of a human abdomen. We also perform a dedicated experiment on the noise behavior of the methods. Results All methods were able to reduce the specific artifacts in the reconstructions for the simulated and virtual real anatomy data. The results show method-specific residual errors that are indicative for the inherently different correction approaches. While all methods were able to correct the artifacts, we report a different noise behavior. Conclusion The iterative reconstruction performs very well, but at the cost of a high runtime. The known operator network shows consistently a very competitive performance. The U-net performs slightly worse, but has the benefit that it is a general-purpose network that does not require special application knowledge.

This study was to discuss the application of multislice spiral computed tomography (CT) in the staging diagnosis of bladder cancer and the effect of ceramide glycosylation. The hybrid iterative reconstruction algorithm was applied. Immunohistochemistry and western blot were used to detect the normal bladder tissues (30 cases) of GCS in group 1 (100 cases) and group 2. The scanned images of all the research objects were obtained, the images with the iterative reconstruction algorithm were reconstructed, and statistical analysis on the CT value under the algorithm was conducted. The results showed that the image quality, blood vessel sharpness, average image score, signal-to-noise ratio, and radiation dose after the spiral CT and iterative reconstruction algorithm all increased, while the noise value decreased. The optical density value of glucosylceramide synthase in group 2 patients increased by 71%, and the optical density value of group 1 increased by 29%. The optical density expression of glucosylceramide synthase in group 1 patients was significantly higher than that in the control group, and there was a statistical difference between the two ( P < 0.05 ). Among the results of multislice spiral CT for tumor staging, the lesions larger than 5 cm and in the range of 1.1–2 cm in diameter were more sensitive. In 41 patients, there were multiple lesions. A total of 142 cancer lesions were found. The diameter of the tissue ranged from 0.5 to 6.8 cm, with an average diameter of 2.03 ± 0.35 cm. The optical density of glucosylceramide synthase in the group 1 was 5526, and the optical density in group 2 was 2576. The OD expression of GCS in group 1 was greatly higher in contrast to that in group 2, and there was a statistical difference between the two groups ( P < 0.05 ). The multislice spiral CT examination under this algorithm found that the diagnosis and staging accuracy of lesions with a diameter greater than 5 cm and tumor diameters in the range of 1.1 to 2 cm was higher. The image processed by the hybrid iterative reconstruction algorithm had good effect, high definition, and accuracy.
