The results provided a "yield/procedure [rate at] 74% and 100% for peripheral lesions and lymph nodes, respectively." Additionally, "a diagnosis was obtained in 80.4% of bronchoscopic procedures." The study concluded that ENB "is a safe method for sampling peripheral and mediastinal lesions with high diagnostic yield independent of lesion size ...
Bronchoscopy is an endoscopic technique of visualizing the inside of the airways for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. An instrument ( bronchoscope ) is inserted into the airways, usually through the nose or mouth, or occasionally through a tracheostomy .
CT scanning can perform a virtual colonoscopy with greater accuracy and less discomfort for the patient than a traditional colonoscopy. [143] [144] Virtual colonography is far more accurate than a barium enema for detection of tumors and uses a lower radiation dose. [145] CT is a moderate-to-high radiation diagnostic technique.
Tomographic systems have significant variability in their applications and geometries (locations of sources and detectors). This variability creates the need for very specific, tailored implementations of the processing and reconstruction algorithms. Thus, most CT manufacturers provide their own custom proprietary software.
Low-dose high-resolution (1.25 mm) chest CT. HRCT is performed using a conventional CT scanner. However, imaging parameters are chosen so as to maximize spatial resolution: [1] a narrow slice width is used (usually 1–2 mm), a high spatial resolution image reconstruction algorithm is used, field of view is minimized, so as to minimize the size of each pixel, and other scan factors (e.g. focal ...

3D rendering of a micro CT of a treehopper. 3D rendering of a μCT scan of a leaf piece, resolution circa 40 μm/voxel. Two phase μCT analysis of Ti2AlC/Al MAX phase composite [ 1 ] In radiography , X-ray microtomography uses X-rays to create cross-sections of a physical object that can be used to recreate a virtual model ( 3D model ) without ...
It provides results of very high quality, usually considered to provide the best image quality. Volume ray casting is classified as image based volume rendering technique, as the computation emanates from the output image, not the input volume data as is the case with object based techniques.
