Diagnostic
imaging processes have come a long way since the invention of the X-Ray in 1895. Reading and interpreting
results has gotten easier as time has elapsed. The ability to zoom, guide, and
get greater detail on an image has allowed radiologists and clinicians alike
the ability to not only create a better diagnosis but also a better treatment
program for patients suffering from possibly complex conditions. A new
development has come about and that’s the interactive reconstruction of raw
data.
Raw data with regards to the CT is a topic that’s
often discussed. The definition of raw data is a simple one, there is no unique
definition. To different clinicians and radiology it can mean different things.
While there is that huge debate over a proper definition, work continues on the
interpretation end. Dr. Elliot Siegel from the University of Maryland
A workstation that has the ability to reconstruct data can
definitely work well. Workflow is a key element to successful imaging. It was
stated that “In addition to being able to zoom in on a particular section of an
image to access the full sampled data in the sinogram, this would allow
radiologists to deploy particular reconstruction kernels based on specific
examination type or exam indication. They could also optimize their evaluation
by being able to apply multiple types of processing techniques dynamically and
in real-time on different areas of the same image.”
To be able to do anything in real time improves the process
to an extent that may aide in the quest for early detection and subsequent
treatment, leading to a better overall prognosis.
