    X Ray Machine

    An X ray image is created with high density, high contrast and

    high sharpness on film

    Density or Darkness is proportional to the amount of X rays that

    penetrate the film

    Contrast is a measure of the darkness of the desired image

    compared to its surroundings

    Sharpness or Clarity is influenced by the distortions in the X ray

    beam

    Power Supply Arrangement

    The mains voltage is stepped up by a high voltage transformer

    The kV control gives the necessary input to the X ray tube to

    produce the required wavelength of X rays

    A contactor linked with a timer is used to deliver the X ray output inthe required time interval

    Then it is given to a high voltage transformer followed by a high

    voltage rectifier

    The output is applied across the anode and cathode of the X ray tube

    A circuit with mA control and tube filament transformer is present in

    order to provide the necessary current for the filament of the cathode

    Aluminium Filters

    Emitted X rays contain a broad range of frequencies

    X rays at unwanted frequencies only increase the patient dose and

    decrease the image contrast

    Aluminium filters absorb lower X ray frequencies and hence the

    intensity of low frequency X rays incident on the patient is

    reduced

    Thus the negative effects produced by the low frequency X raysare greatly reduced

    Simply, the aluminium filters confine the X rays to the region of

    interest

    Bucky Grid

    To reduce scattered radiation, which may produce poor sharpnessin the image, the region of the patient being examined must be

    compressed

    The bucky grid is introduced in between the patient and the film

    cassette to improve the sharpness of the image

    Consists of thin lead vanes separated by spacers of a low

    attenuation material

    The lead vanes are usually angled so that the primary radiation

    which carries the information can pass between them while the

    sacttered radiation from the object strikes the lead vanes and is

    absorbedwww.eeecube.com

    Computer Tomography

    Also called Computerized Axial Tomography or Computer Transmission

    Tomography

    Principle

    Measurements are taken from the transmitted X rays through the body and

    contain information on all the constituents of the body in the path of the X ray

    beam

    Using multi directional scanning of the object, multiple data are collected

    Mathematical Basis

    If the total attenuation long rows and columns of a matrix is measured, theattenuation of the matrix elements at the intersection of the rows and columns

    can be computed

    The number of mathematical operations necessary to yield clinically applicable

    and accurate images is so large that a computer is essential to do themwww.eeecube.com

    The timing, anode voltage (kV) and beam current (mA) are controlled by a computer

    through a control bus

    The high voltage d.c. power supply drives an X ray tube that can be mechanically

    rotated along the circumference of a gantry

    The patient is lying in a tube through the centre of the gantry

    The X rays pass through the patient and are partially absorbed

    The remaining X ray photons impinge upon several of as many as 1000 radiation

    detectors fixed around the circumference of the gantry

    The detector response is directly related to the number of photons impinging on it

    and in turn to tissue density

    When the photons strike the detector they are converted to scintillations

    The computer senses the position of the X ray tube and samples the output of the

    detector along a diameter line opposite to the X ray tube

    The output unit then produces a visual image of a transverse plane cross section of

    the patient on the cathode ray tube

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Makes use of RF region of the electromagnetic spectra to provide an

    image

    A patient is placed in placed in an external magnetic field which

    causes the magnetization of protons of hydrogen atoms in the body Due to magnetization, these protons align about the external

    magnetic field

    Now a radio frequency pulse at resonance frequency is transmitted

    into the patient under controlled and prescribed condition

    The individual proton responds by emitting a frequency signal

    called nuclear magnetic resonance signal

    These signals, during their return from high energy states to ground

    state, are picked up by the RF coils and produce an image

    Magnetic Resonance Phenomenon

    Our body consists of millions of atoms

    Nearly 80% are hydrogen atoms

    Each hydrogen atom has one proton in the nucleus It is spinning and hence a nuclear magnetic moment is associated

    with it

    The value of the moment depends on the mass, charge and the rate

    of spin of the nucleus

    Normally the spinning of the nuclei is random and the associated

    magnetic moment can be pointed in any direction

    28/67

    In the presence of a large external magnetic field, its axis rotation

    will precess about the magnetic field

    At equilibrium the lower state has more nuclei than the higher state

    Using radio frequency radiation with an energy exactly equal to the

    energy difference between two nuclear energy states, one can

    achieve population inversion by raising the nuclei from lowerenergy state to higher energy state

    The excited nuclear spins will slowly return to its equilibrium

    emitting a radio frequency signal called Nuclear Magnetic

    Resonance (NMR)

    MRI instrumentation

    A magnet is present which provides a strong, uniform, steady magnet field

    Superconducting magnets are used, they are cooled to liquid helium

    temperature and can produce very high magnetic fields

    The signal to noise ratio of the received signals and image quality are better

    than the conventional magnets

    Different gradient coil systems produce a time varying, controlled spatial

    non magnetic fields indifferent directions

    The patient is kept in this gradient field space

    Transmitter and receiving R.F. coils are present surrounding the site on

    which the image is to be constructed

    There is a superposition of a linear magnetic field gradient onto the uniform

    magnetic field applied to the patient

    When the superposition takes place, the resonance frequencies of the precessing

    nuclei will depend on the positions along the direction of the magnetic field

    gradient This produces a one dimensional projection of the structure of the three

    dimensional object

    By taking a series of these projections at different gradient orientations using X,

    Y and Z gradient coils a two or three dimensional image can be obtained

    The gradient magnetic field can be controlled by computer and that field can be

    positioned in three time invariant planes (X, Y and Z)

    The transmitter provides the R.F. signal pulses

    The received nuclear magnetic resonance signal is picked up by the receiver coil

    By two dimensional Fourier Transformation the image is constructed by the

    computer and is displayed on the television screen

    Ultrasonography

    Technique by which ultrasonic energy is used to detect the state of the

    internal body organs

    Bursts of ultrasonic energy are transmitted from a piezoelectric or

    magnetostrictive transducer through the skin and into the internal anatomy

    When this energy strikes an interface between two tissues of differentacoustical impedance, reflections (echoes) are returned to the transducer

    The transducer converts these reflections to an electric signal

    This electric signal is amplified and displayed on an oscilloscope at a distance

    proportional to the depth of the interface

    Ultrasonic diagnosis differs from radiological (X ray) diagnosis in that no

    shadow images are obtained

    The cross sectional or linear images are obtained through parts of the body

    The echoes from the patient body surface are collected by the

    receiver circuit

    Proper depth gain compensation is given by DCG circuit

    The received signals are converted into digital signals and are

    stored in the memory

    Meanwhile, the scan converter control receives signals of transducer

    position and TV synchronous pulses and generates X and Y address

    information which is fed to the digital memory

    The stored digital image signals are processed and colour coded andare given to digital to analog converter

    Endoscopes

    Tubular instrument used to inspect or view the body cavities which are notvisible to the naked eye normally

    In each endoscope there are two fiber bundles

    One is used to illuminate the inner structure object

    The other is used to collect the reflected light from that area

    From this we can view the inner structure of the object

    There are two types flexible and rigid

    Sometimes it is equipped with small forceps for taking sample of tissue biopsy specimens for microscopic studies

    In the endoscope, at the object end there is an assembly of objective lens

    and prism and at the viewing end, there is an eye lens

    It uses argon ion laser as high energy optical source and endoscope as the

    delivery unit

    Argon ion lasers are very useful in the coagulation of blood vessels since itsgreen light is highly absorbed by the red blood vessels and hemoglobin

    It is also advantageous to use argon ion lasers for photocoagulation of

    retina because of its smaller beam diameter and its ability do coagulation

    without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue

    To control gastric hemorrhage photocoagulation is adopted

    With the help of endoscope, the output from the argon ion laser is delivered

    to the required spot to arrest the gastric bleeding

    Laser beam can be moved in any direction using the flexible endoscope

    Using an endoscope the beam can be delivered to the required site as well

    as viewed for proper alignment

    Every thermographic equipment is provided with a special camera that

    scans the object

    A display unit is provided for displaying the thermal picture on the screen

    The camera contains an optical system in the form of an oscillating flat

    plane mirror

    This mirror scans the field of view at a very high speed horizontally and

    vertically

    It also focuses the collected infrared radiation onto the chopper

    The chopper disc interrupts the infrared beam so that a.c. signals are

    produced which are amplified and demodulated further

    The demodulated signals are given to the Cathode Ray Tube in

    synchronization with scanning mechanism

    The signals are displayed on the screen by intensity modulation

    Liquid crystals are a class of compounds which exhibit colour

    temperature sensitivity

    In this method, the temperature plate consists of a blackened thin

    film support into which encapsulated liquid crystals cemented to a

    pseudo solid powder have been incorporated

    Thermal contact between the skin surface and plate produces colour

    change in the encapsulated liquid crystals

    Red for relatively low to violet for high temperatures

    In infrared thermograms it is vice versa

    A miniature battery operated radio transmitter is connected to the

    electrodes of the patients

    This transmitter broadcasts the biopotential over a limited range to

    remotely located receiver

    This detects the radio signals and recovers them for furtherprocessing

    There is negligible connections or stray capacitance between the

    electrode circuit and the rest of the system

    So the receiving system can even be located in a room separate from

    To avoid the loading effect a sub carrier system is used

    The signal is modulated on a sub carrier to convert the signal

    frequency to the neighbourhood of the sub carrier frequency

    Then the R.F. carrier is modulated by the sub carrier carrying the

    signal

    The receiver detects the R.F. and recovers the sub carrier carrying

    the signal

    Since the sub carrier frequency is quite different from all noise

    interference and loading effect, it can be separated by filters

    An additional stage of demodulation is needed to convert the signal

    from the modulated sub carrier back to its real frequency and

    amplitude

    short time to sample and transmit that signal Then the transmitter is switched to the next signal channel in a definite

    sequence

    When all the channels have been scanned once a cycle is completed and the

    next cycle will start

    At the receiver end the process is reversed

    The sequentially arranged signal pulses are distributed to the individual

    channels by a synchronized switching circuit

    If the number of scanning cycles per second in each signal is large and if

    the transmitter and the receiver are synchronized, the signal in each channel

    at the receiver side can be recovered without noticeable distortion
