Outline • Introduction • Methods • Experiment • Conclusions
Introduction(1/3) • First description in 1994 • Computed Tomography Colonography • What is CTC? • Noninvasive • Consist of Low X ray does CT • Preparation • Cleansing colon • Air insufflation
Introduction(3/3) • Traditional • Patients undergo a rigorous purgation cleansing of the colon • Feeling • Discomfort and inconvenience • Digital Subtraction Bowel Cleansing(DSBC) • Not require to • take any bowel cathartic • change eating habits
Hounsfield Unit(1/2) • Definition • X Ray attenuation unit used in CT Scan interpretation • Characterizes the relative density of a substance • Each pixel is assigned a value between -1k to 1k
Hounsfield Unit(2/2) • Substance densities in Hounsfield Units • Air: -1000 • Fat: -50 • Water: 0 • Soft tissue such as muscle: +40 • Calculus: +100 to +400 • Bone: +1000
Outline • Introduction • Methods • Experiment • Conclusions
Threshold • 來源:灰階圖片 • 作法:影像依其灰階予以分群處理,灰階分劃將影像分成兩種灰階值,設定 • >= ,保留點, 設成 1 • < ,移除點, 設成 0 • 目的: • 處理的主體和不需要存在的背景分離 (雜訊 ) • 圖形邊緣處會有明顯不連續的現象
Morphology • Dilation • Erosion
Outline • Introduction • Methods • Experiment • Conclusions
Phantom • Colon phantom • specifically designed to resemble the human colon in terms of • CT density • colon contour
Exam • The approach is • Use DSBC ,dilation, detection algorithm • CT • Range • From • Soft tissue of the colon wall • To • Colon lumen
Outline • Introduction • Method • Experiment • Conclusions
Conclusion • DSBC offers the possibility of improving patient comfort for colon. • Compared to traditionally cleansed datasets in human subjects ,readers rated electronically cleansed exams favorably.
