Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...
Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...
Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Computational Imaging
  • Photon Migration Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate mapping of subsurface tissue optical properties is crucial for biomedical imaging.
  • Frequency-domain photon migration (FDPM) offers a non-invasive approach to probe tissue interiors.
  • Existing reconstruction methods often face challenges with accuracy, stability, and computational efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate stochastic reconstruction techniques for mapping interior tissue optical properties.
  • To accurately reconstruct parameter fields such as absorption cross-section and fluorescence lifetime.
  • To enhance the accuracy, stability, and computational efficiency of inversion methods for FDPM.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a recursive, Bayesian, minimum-variance estimator (approximate extended Kalman filter) for parameter field reconstruction.
  • Employed data-driven zonation following parameter field updates to improve system conditioning.
  • Modeled parameters as beta-distributed random variables to constrain estimates within feasible ranges, avoiding arbitrary smoothing or regularization.

Main Results:

  • Accurate reconstruction of absorption cross-section, fluorescence lifetime, and quantum efficiency from simulated noisy FDPM measurements.
  • Demonstrated improved accuracy, stability, and computational efficiency through data-driven zonation.
  • Bayesian reconstructions showed comparable speed and accuracy to Newton-Raphson-based inversions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Bayesian stochastic reconstruction technique is effective for mapping tissue optical properties.
  • The method shows promise for advancing three-dimensional biomedical imaging applications using FDPM.
  • The approach offers a robust and efficient alternative to traditional inversion techniques.
