Overview  What is a CT scan?  Who uses CT scans?  How can CT scans be dangerous?  What is being developed in world of BME to deal with this?

What is a CT scan?  computed tomography or computed axial tomography  Takes multiple x-ray images in slices  Slice are put back together to create a 3 dimensional image  Range from images of the brain to images inside a person’s body cavity  The first CT scan was developed in 1970  Took hours to collect enough slices for an image.

Picture of CT scan

Who uses CT scans?  The number of people employing the use of CT scans increases everyday.  In million.  By 2007 the number of scans increased to 70 million scans.  This is an 86% increase per year over 27 years.

How can CT scans be dangerous?  Amongst the 70 million having CT scans  29,000 will eventually get cancer  14,500 will die from this cancer.  Simple head injury requires 21 scans all of which took place over a course of 4 days.

What is being developed in world of BME to deal with this?  Three major methods under development.  ASIR -Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction  Iterative Reconstruction in Image Space  Interior tomography being developed by Dr. Ge Wang at Virginia Tech.

Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction  Less intense X-ray beams.  More noise however through voxel comparison noise can be removed.  When pixels are too different from adjacent pixels they are discarded as noise.  The ASIR system uses 32-65% less radiation while retaining all pertinent data.  For heart scans it has 90% radiation reduction.

Comparison Between CT and ASIR

Iterative Reconstruction in Image Space  Deconstructs and reconstructs images.  IRIS will become available by the second half of  IRIS was not possible sooner because computationally intensive and the technology needed to decode the algorithms was not available.

Interior Tomography  This is a low dose scanning system being developed at Virginia tech.  Rake scans of smaller areas  image is only taken within the edges of the area of interest  to image the heart only the are near the heart to and from the edge of the body scanned  Here the edges determined in reference to air pockets or regions of blood requiring a smaller area  By reducing the area that is scanned the dose can be reduced proportionally.

Conclusion  As CT scans continue to be used in the medical world it is important to continue work to reduce the risk of cancer that comes with employing this technology.  These three methods or scanning are just a few amongst many alternative methods that are sure to become available in the future.
