The diagnostic value of 3D spiral CT imaging of cholangiopancreatic ducts on obstructive jaundice

Objective: Computerized tomography (CT) plays an important role in the diagnosis of diseases of biliary tract. Recently, three dimensions (3D) spiral CT imaging has been used in surgical diseases gradually. This study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic value of 3D spiral CT imaging of cholangiopancreatic ducts on obstructive jaundice. Methods: Thirty patients with obstructive jaundice had received B-mode ultrasonography, CT, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and 3D spiral CT imaging of cholangiopancreatic ducts preoperatively. Then the diagnose accordance rate of these examinational methods were compared after operations. Results: The diagnose accordance rate of 3D spiral CT imaging of cholangiopancreatic ducts was higher than those of B-mode ultrasonography, CT, or single PTC or ERCP, which showed clear images of bile duct tree and pathological changes. As to malignant obstructive jaundice, this examinational technique could clearly display the adjacent relationship between tumor and liver tissue, biliary ducts, blood vessels, and intrahepatic metastases. Conclusion: 3D spiral CT imaging of cholangiopancreatic ducts has significant value for obstructive diseases of biliary ducts, which provides effective evidence for the feasibility of tumor-resection and surgical options.

Edge enhancement of phase objects through complex media by using transmission-matrixbased spiral phase contrast imaging

The wavefront shaping based technique has been introduced to detect the edges of amplitude objects through complex media,but the extraction of the boundary information of invisible phase objects through complex media has not been demonstrated yet.Here,we present a phase contrast imaging technique to overcome the scattering,aiming to achieve the edge detection of the phase object through the complex media.An operator based on the experimentally measured transmission matrix is obtained by numerically adding a spiral phase in the Fourier domain.With the inverse of the filtered transmission matrix,we can directly reconstruct the edge enhanced images for both amplitude object and phase object beyond scattering.Experimentally,both digital and real objects are imaged,and the results verify that isotropic edge detection can be achieved with our technique.Our work could benefit the detection of invisible phase objects through complex media.

Implementation of integrated nonlocal sensing for object shape and rotational speed

The expeditious acquisition of information pertaining to objects through the utilization of quantum technology has been a perennial issue of concern.So far,the efficient utilization of information from dynamic objects with limited resources remains a significant challenge.Here,we realize a nonlocal integrated sensing of the object's amplitude and phase information by combining digital spiral imaging with the correlated orbital angular momentum states.The amplitude information is utilized for object identification,while the phase information enables us to determine the rotational speed.We demonstrate the nonlocal identification of a rotating object's shape,irrespective of its rotational symmetry,and introduce the concept of the correlated rotational Doppler effect,establishing a fundamental connection between this effect and the classical rotational Doppler effect,i.e.,that both rely on extracting crucial information from the spiral spectrum of objects.The present study highlights a promising pathway towards the realization of quantum remote sensing and imaging.
