Investigações sobre digitalização de imagens mamográficas: padronização da qualidade da imagem e seu efeito no desempenho de esquemas de processamento / Investigations on scanning mammography: standardization of image quality and its effect on performance of processing schemes

Renata de Freitas Góis 20 December 2010 (has links)
Este trabalho trata, inicialmente, de uma extensa investigação acerca do efeito que o processo de digitalização da imagem exerce num esquema de processamento de imagens em mamografia. Como todas as etapas de processamento tomam por base a imagem original digitalizada, os diferentes equipamentos, tecnologias, softwares de aquisição e características do processo contribuem para produzir diferentes aspectos na digitalização de um mesmo filme mamográfico. Por conseguinte, as etapas envolvidas do pré-processamento à classificação, passando principalmente pela segmentação dessas imagens, poderão produzir diferentes resultados dependendo da fidelidade da imagem digital em relação à mamografia original. Assim, essa pesquisa focaliza uma avaliação comparativa das características das imagens mamográficas adquiridas em diferentes sistemas de digitalização, tomando por base o efeito que esse processo exerce na sensibilidade de módulos de um esquema CAD (de Computer-Aided Diagnosis) previamente desenvolvido em nosso grupo. Com base nisso, propõe-se um modelo computacional que permite compensar as eventuais degradações introduzidas no processo de digitalização, em busca de uma maior uniformidade das imagens mamográficas digitais, independentemente do equipamento utilizado na digitalização. Testes conduzidos com as imagens digitais geradas em vários sistemas diferentes - desde equipamentos mais comuns, com adaptadores de transparência, até os mais sofisticados, com varredura a laser, e de alto custo - utilizando o driver de digitalização aqui proposto mostraram que houve um aumento da sensibilidade na detecção de microcalcificações para todos os casos em relação à utilização das imagens originalmente digitalizadas sem a aplicação do modelo. Além disso, foi significativa também a redução na taxa de falsos-positivos (entre 70 e 90%) nas mesmas condições. Como efeito, a presente proposta torna acessível a qualquer instituição radiológica a possibilidade de aplicação de esquemas de processamento para auxiliar a detecção e/ou diagnóstico de estruturas suspeitas em mamografia, mesmo que utilizando digitalizadores menos sofisticados - e, portanto, de menor custo - para a produção das imagens mamográficas digitais e sem perda de qualidade do desempenho. / This work corresponds to an extensive investigation on the effect of the image digitization process on an image processing scheme in mammography. As all the processing steps are based on a digitized image, different equipment, technologies, acquisition softwares and characteristics regarding such a procedure contribute to yield different features during the digitization of a same mammographic film. As a consequence, all the steps since the pre-processing up to the classification, mainly the images segmentation, could give different results depending on the digital image fidelity relatively to the original mammogram. Therefore, this research concentrates on a comparative evaluation of mammographic images acquired from several digitization systems, concerning the effect of this procedure on the sensitivity of a CAD scheme sections previously developed in our research group. A computer model is proposed in order to compensate some flaws introduced in the digitization procedure. The purpose is assuring more uniformity to the digital mammography images, no matter the digitizer used. Tests with digital images from several different systems - since common equipment, with transparency adaptors, up to the most expensive and sophisticated, with laser scanning - by using the digitization driver proposed in this work have shown an increase in microcalcifications detection sensitivity for all cases relatively to the use of original digitized images without making use of the proposed model. Furthermore, the reduction in false positive rates was significant (from 70% up to 90%) in the same conditions. Therefore, the current application makes possible to any radiological institution the use of processing schemes to aid the detection and/or diagnosis of suspect structures in mammography, even using less sophisticated - and thus, with low cost - digitizers and keeping the performance quality.

CONSISTENCY OF CT NUMBER AND ELECTRON DENSITY IN TREATMENT PLANNING SYSTEM VERSUS CT SCANNER, AND DOSIMETRIC CONSEQUENCES

Unknown Date (has links)
The Computer Tomography (CT) scanned images are very important for the Treatment Planning System (TPS) to provide the electron density of the different types of tissues that the radiation penetrates in the path to the tumor to be treated. This electron density is converted to an attenuation coefficient, which varies with tissue for each structure and even varies by the tissue volume. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the CT numbers, and convert them into relative electron densities. Twenty-five patients’ data and CT numbers were evaluated in the CT scanner and in Eclipse and were converted into relative electron density and compared with each other. The differences between the relative electron density in the Eclipse was found to be from 0 up to 6% between tissue equivalent materials, the final result for all equivalent tissue materials was about 2%. For the patients’ data, the percentage difference of CT number versus electron density was found to be high for high relative electron density organs, namely the final average result for the spine was 8%, less for pelvis, and less for rib while for the other organs it was even less. The very lowest was 0.3% compared with 1% which is acceptable for clinical standards. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2019. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Automated registration of unorganised point clouds from terrestrial laser scanners

Bae, Kwang-Ho January 2006 (has links)
Laser scanners provide a three-dimensional sampled representation of the surfaces of objects. The spatial resolution of the data is much higher than that of conventional surveying methods. The data collected from different locations of a laser scanner must be transformed into a common coordinate system. If good a priori alignment is provided and the point clouds share a large overlapping region, existing registration methods, such as the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) or Chen and Medioni’s method, work well. In practical applications of laser scanners, partially overlapping and unorganised point clouds are provided without good initial alignment. In these cases, the existing registration methods are not appropriate since it becomes very difficult to find the correspondence of the point clouds. A registration method, the Geometric Primitive ICP with the RANSAC (GPICPR), using geometric primitives, neighbourhood search, the positional uncertainty of laser scanners, and an outlier removal procedure is proposed in this thesis. The change of geometric curvature and approximate normal vector of the surface formed by a point and its neighbourhood are used for selecting the possible correspondences of point clouds. In addition, an explicit expression of the position uncertainty of measurement by laser scanners is presented in this dissertation and this position uncertainty is utilised to estimate the precision and accuracy of the estimated relative transformation parameters between point clouds. The GP-ICPR was tested with both simulated data and datasets from close range and terrestrial laser scanners in terms of its precision, accuracy, and convergence region. It was shown that the GP-ICPR improved the precision of the estimated relative transformation parameters as much as a factor of 5. / In addition, the rotational convergence region of the GP-ICPR on the order of 10°, which is much larger than the ICP or its variants, provides a window of opportunity to utilise this automated registration method in practical applications such as terrestrial surveying and deformation monitoring.

No. of bitstreams: 0 / A perfilagem de colunas por raios gama (column gamma scan) é uma técnica nuclear empregada para solucionar problemas em equipamentos de processos industriais, nas refinarias e petroquímicas. Consiste na utilização de uma fonte selada e um detector de radiação [NaI(Tl)], obtendo-se o perfil de densidade unidimensional (1D) do equipamento. Nas últimas décadas, ocorreram algumas melhorias na técnica de perfilagem, tais como, na digitalização contínua das informações e nos sistemas de detecção da radiação (wireless). Novos aplicativos melhoraram a qualidade da apresentação dos resultados. Entretanto, a condição da técnica não mudou drasticamente, desde sua criação. Seu resultado é simplesmente um gráfico 1D da densidade média, em função da altura do equipamento industrial. A tecnologia inovadora proposta neste trabalho de Mestrado utiliza a reconstrução tomográfica industrial, via algoritmos iterativos derivados da ART (Algebraic Reconstruction Technique) e do MART (Multiplicative Algebraic Reconstruction Technique), para apresentar o resultado de perfilagem como uma imagem bidimensional (2D) da distribuição de densidade, ao invés de um gráfico 1D. Nitidamente, uma imagem 2D possui mais informações técnicas do equipamento em análise, permitindo um avanço na tecnologia de ensaios não destrutivos (END). Assim, muitos problemas operacionais não detectáveis em equipamentos de processos industriais podem ser descobertos e solucionados de forma on-line, usando-se o imageamento 2D. Esta tecnologia permitiu que um pedido de patente fosse depositado junto ao Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial (INPI). / Dissertação (Mestrado) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP
