Laboratory exercise for RTG imaging systems
Kuchař, Otakar ; Macíček, Ondřej (referee) ; Mézl, Martin (advisor)
The aim of this Bachelor thesis is to study the X-ray and computed tomography. The theoretical section explains the basic physical principles, elementary particle, atom and ionizing. The following parts of the thesis deal with topics from the origin and various types of X-ray, to interaction of X-ray with tissue and X-ray detection. For computed tomography the thesis also explains data collection, the reconstruction of image using simple back projection, filtered back projection and algebraic reconstruction. In the practical part are analysed several measurements which were taken in the X-ray chamber designed for educational purposes by Leybold. The topics solve the attenuation of X-rays depending on the type and thickness of the material and the spectrum of the X-ray radiation. In the field of computerized tomography solve tasks as the change of contrast, parameters of acquisition and methods for reconstruction. The work includes prepared sample solutions to a laboratory experiments.

Development of finite element model of human vocal tract and space around the head based on data from computer tomography
Švarc, Martin ; Pellant, Karel (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with creating a computational model for acoustic wave propagation in vocal tract and the area near the head. The main objective of this work is to map the three-dimensional model of the human head as an additional acoustic environment for more accurate measurement of the human voice on the basis of data from computed tomography, the study of function of the vocal cords, biomechanics of the human voice and an overview of medical imaging techniques suitable for the display of biomechanical models. The grid for finite element method (FEM) will be created from solid geometry of the vocal tract (from the vocal cords to the lips) and the acoustic space near the human head. The grid will be created in order to obtain new knowledge about the different locations of a human head with microphone.

Algorithms for the image reconstruction from projections
Zemek, Marek ; Chmelík, Jiří (referee) ; Mézl, Martin (advisor)
This work focuses on the task of reconstructing an image from its projections, particularly in relation to the CT medical imaging modality, and the evaluation of the quality of this reconstruction using various types of algorithms. First, the theory behind contemporary reconstruction algorithms is discussed. Next, this paper deals with the implementation of several simple methods of image reconstruction in Matlab, their application on simulated as well as real data, and subsequent evaluation in terms of reconstruction quality and computational complexity.

Anatomy based landmark detection in brain CT scans
Krajčiová, Alexandra ; Harabiš, Vratislav (referee) ; Jakubíček, Roman (advisor)
Manual detection of anatomical landmarks from head CT (Computed Tomography) scans is time-consuming task prone to observer errors. In addition, the accuracy of the detection correlates with image quality. The aim of this work is to create an algorithm that will perform automatic detection of anatomical landmarks. These landmarks can be later used to form radiological lines, which finds its application in CT scanning. SVM (Support Vector Machines) and HOG (Histograms of Oriented Gradients) features was chosen for anatomical landmark detection. The achieved results, possibilities of further progress and improvement of detection are summarized in the conclusion.

The Three-Dimensional Digital Imaging Methods for X-ray Computed Tomography and Digital Holographic Microscopy
Kvasnica, Lukáš ; Číp, Ondřej (referee) ; Štarha, Pavel (referee) ; Chmelík, Radim (advisor)
This dissertation thesis deals with the methods for processing image data in X-ray microtomography and digital holographic microscopy. The work aims to achieve significant acceleration of algorithms for tomographic reconstruction and image reconstruction in holographic microscopy by means of optimization and the use of massively parallel GPU. In the field of microtomography, the new GPU (graphic processing unit) accelerated implementations of filtered back projection and back projection filtration of derived data are presented. Another presented algorithm is the orientation normalization technique and evaluation of 3D tomographic data. In the part related to holographic microscopy, the individual steps of the complete image processing procedure are described. This part introduces the new orignal technique of phase unwrapping and correction of image phase damaged by the occurrence of optical vortices in the wrapped image phase. The implementation of the methods for the compensation of the phase deformation and for tracking of cells is then described. In conclusion, there is briefly introduced the Q-PHASE software, which is the complete bundle of all the algorithms necessary for the holographic microscope control, and holographic image processing.

X-ray computed tomography analysis of mouse embryonic heart
Dobrovodská, Daniela ; Oberta, Peter (referee) ; Zikmund, Tomáš (advisor)
Rentgenová počítačová tomografie je univerzální technika umožňující nedestruktivní trojrozměrné (3D) zobrazování. Je široce používána v průmyslu pro metrologii a charakterizaci materiálů. V poslední době našla svůj význam také v biologii a vývojové vědě, kde 3D rekonstruovaná data poskytují komplexnější informace o vzorku než konvenční 2D zobrazovací metody. Kromě toho může vytvářet vysoce kvalitní snímky různých biologických vzorků. Překážkou při zobrazování biologických vzorků může být velmi podobný koeficient útlumu měkkých tkání, a proto je nutné použít barvení chemickou látkou. Tato práce si klade za cíl pomocí mikropočítačové tomografie vizualizovat a kvalitativně vyhodnotit srdce embryonálních myší E17.5 a představit nejlepší barvící protokol. Dále byla zavedena metodika pro zvýraznění rozdílů mezi myší divokého typu a mutantem. Rigaku nano 3DX byl použit pro experimenty s mezi-komorovou přepážkou myšího srdce a po nastavení specifických parametrů zařízení byl použit algoritmus pro zvýraznění fáze. Nakonec byla provedena validace $\mu$ CT dat se snímkami z konfokálního mikroskopu.

Image segmentation of spinal disc in medical imaging
Meloun, Jan ; Nemček, Jakub (referee) ; Mézl, Martin (advisor)
This thesis is focused on segmentation of intervertebral discs in images from two medical imaging modalities - computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Theoretical introduction of the thesis describes intervertebral disc herniation and relevant imaging modalities. It also includes description of basic and advanced segmentation methods. For practical part of the thesis, three different segmentation teqniques (one for CT data and two for MRI images) have been chosen, implemented and applied on images acquired at Radiodiagnostic department of Havlíčkův Brod hospital. The segmentation quality has been assessed quantitatively for individual methods by comparing the segmentation results to manually created reference segmentation of intervertebral discs.

Possibilities of the object surface determination in tomographic data set
Kalasová, Dominika ; Novotný, Jan (referee) ; Zikmund, Tomáš (advisor)
This work studies the possibilities for determining surfaces of objects in tomographic data. This procedure is important for post-processing - object visualization, coordinate measuring, export to STL file format etc., and it is complicated due to tomographic artifacts, porosity of material, material inhomogenities, and low-quality data. The possibilities of the surface determination in VGStudio MAX 2.2 software are described and demonstrated on steel fiber-reinforced concrete sample.

Vertex and Pixel Shaders OpenGL Visualisation of Medical 3D Image Data
Vaďura, Jiří ; Španěl, Michal (referee) ; Kršek, Přemysl (advisor)
This thesis deals with accelerated 3D rendering of medical data, e.g. computed tomography, using a graphics processor and OpenGL library. Raw data slices are send to graphic memory and rendered by a ray-casting algorithm. The goal of this project is high quality visual output and full user interaction at the same time. Multiple rendering modes are avaiable to the user: MIP, X-Ray simulation and realistic shading.
