1 ORGANIZING THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 1
2 Modern Medical Imaging methods Modern Medical Imaging includes a lot of methods: Conventional and Digital Radiology. Nuclear Medicine Imaging Methods (SPECT, PET) Sonography. Magnetic Resonance Imaging. There are also other interesting methods, including Endoscopic Imaging, Brain Mapping, Biomagnetic Diagnostics, Impedance Imaging, Thermography etc. that are either closer related to other Departments (Operating Theater, Outpatient Department), or they are not used intensively.

75 Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has proven to be a unique tool in analyzing biomedical metabolic function or dysfunction, qualitatively and quantitatively. It finds application in cardiology for tissue viability and perfusion studies, in neurology for studying epilepsy, dementia, and other investigative brain studies, and in oncology for early tumor diagnosis, tumor grading, and extent of metastasis. THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 75
76 PET Implementation Positron emission tomography begins with isotopes such as Rubidium 82, Oxygen 15, and Fluorine 18. The typical isotopes used in PET scanning have a half-life that ranges from 75 seconds to 110 minutes. Cyclotron is a cost effective, easy to operate, shelfshielded radioisotope delivery system. A commercially available modern machine, produces substantial quantities of the major positron emitting isotopes and compounds in a variety of chemical forms under full automation.

81 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 81
82 Magnetic Resonance Imaging In common with all other imaging processes in medical diagnostics, magnetic resonance tomography makes use of the interaction of anatomical structures within the human body with a radiation field. With the aid of a radio-frequency field in the Mhz range and a locally variable magnetic field, the sharp resonance absorption of magnetic nuclei in biological tissue is used in order to obtain the spatial distribution of the nuclear magnetization. THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 82
83 MRI Principle In particular, Hydrogen atoms, which occur naturally in large numbers, allow medically meaningful images to be formed, with a spatial resolution comparable to that of X- ray computed tomography, and which show previously unseen contrasts between tissues. In addition, it is even possible to detect magnetic nuclei, such as 13 C, 19 F, 23 Na, 31 P, in spite of their low concentration in biological tissue; nevertheless, the value of the information thus gained does not approach that obtained through proton resonance. THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 83
84 Magnetic Moment alignment of a probe with Nuclear Spins In the case of thermal equilibrium, the magnetic moment of a probe with nuclear spins, aligns itself parallel to the external magnetic field. If this equilibrium is disturbed, for example by suddenly changing the direction of the external magnetic field, then a torque acts on the magnetic moment of the sample, causing a change in time, of the angular momentum of the probe. THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 84
85 The magnetic moment of a probe with nuclear spins aligns itself parallel to the external magnetic field THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 85
86 Precession of the nuclear magnetization This results in, the precession of the nuclear magnetization, around the direction of the magnetic field, with the Larmor frequency. This precession (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) can be detected easily, by measuring the induced alternating voltage, in a coil surrounding the sample. After a finite period of time the thermal equilibrium which had previously been disturbed is reestablished. THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 86
87 Changing the direction of the magnetic field a torque acts on the magnetic moment of the sample THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 87
88 The precession (NMR) can be measured as induced alternating voltage in a coil surrounding the sample THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 88
89 Relaxation times Two time constants are of interest: The longitudinal relaxation time T 1 is the time constant with which is restored the magnetization along the direction of the basic field, and it is associated with the emission of energy to the crystal lattice in which the atomic nuclei are embedded (spin-lattice relaxation). The transverse relaxation time T 2 is the time constant with which the transverse component decays, due to the mutual interactions of the nuclear spins (spin-spin relaxation). THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 89
90 The physical significance of the Relaxation times The relaxation times express the mobility of the molecules in which the nuclei under consideration are located. Each nucleus is surrounded by other magnetic moments which are in constant thermal Brownian molecular motion, and produce a continuously changing magnetic perturbation field. Spectral components which correspond to the precession frequency of the nuclear magnetization, induce the longitudinal relaxation. Transverse relaxation is determined by the frequency of collisions between the molecules as a whole. THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 90

105 MRI advantages MRI has various attractive attributes: Non-ionizing radiation. Excellent soft tissue contrast. Visualization of any desired plane, without special patient positioning. No bone artifacts. Non invasive character of the examination. Potential for flow measurements. Potential for dynamic studies. THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 105
106 Sonography The development of Ultra-sound equipment started in the fifties with equipment for examining the skull and the heart. Stimulated by sonar and radar technology, these developments culminated in two-dimensional ultrasound examination of: The abdominal organs. The thyroid glands. Obstetric examinations. Sectional displays of the heart. THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 106
107 Combination units Today, combination units using several scanning methods and satisfying all diagnostic requirements are widespread. Almost all ultrasound methods used today in medical diagnostics are based on the echo pulse technique. Amplitude modulation (A mode) Time motion mode (M mode) Brightness modulation (B mode) have been used, that evaluate the amplitude of the echo signals received by the transducer. THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 107
108 Scanning procedures There are two major scanning procedures: Mechanical sector scanning with good price-performance ratio, based on the rotor principle or the wobbler principle. Electronic scanning, i.e. the required scanning width (image width) is covered by a large number of identical individual transducers, formed as a linear or curved array. Scanning may be performed in rectilinear coordinates (linear array) or in polar coordinates (sector, mechanical systems, curved or phased array systems). THE MEDICAL IMAGING DEPARTMENT 108
109 Doppler frequency shift A source for extra information is the frequency content of the ultrasound oscillations and especially the Doppler frequency shift of the moving signal source (e.g. blood). A continuous wave (CW) or a pulse wave (PW) Doppler method can be applied. Duplex and triplex scanners combine independent transducer arrangements allowing for Imaging and Doppler examination.
