Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview01:13

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to study the composition of materials. It is widely employed in chemistry, materials science, forensic science, and other fields where sample characterization is required. ATR has several advantages over traditional transmission IR spectroscopy, including the requirement of little to no sample preparation and the ability to analyze a wide range of samples.
The ATR process begins by directing a beam...

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...

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...
Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy: Overview01:09

Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy: Overview

When electromagnetic radiation passes through a material, atoms or molecules transition from a lower to a higher energy state by absorbing radiation corresponding to the energy difference between the two states. The absorption of infrared (IR) radiation causes transitions between vibrational energy levels in a molecule. Therefore, IR spectroscopy is a useful analytical tool for determining the molecular structure of molecules.
Different compounds display unique properties due to their...

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...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Imaging

    Background:

    • Near-Infrared (NIR) tomographic image reconstruction is a complex inverse problem.
    • It is inherently non-linear, ill-posed, and ill-conditioned, requiring regularization techniques.
    • Incorporating structural information (priors) can potentially enhance reconstruction quality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate different methods for penalizing the objective function with structural information in NIR tomographic image reconstruction.
    • To present a framework for incorporating structural priors using weight matrices.
    • To quantitatively compare the impact of spatial priors on reconstruction accuracy.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a framework to incorporate structural priors using Laplacian and Helmholtz-type weight matrices.
    • Utilized MRI-derived breast geometry and phantom data for validation.
    • Performed systematic and quantitative comparisons with and without spatial priors.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that structural priors can be effectively incorporated into the reconstruction scheme.
    • The Helmholtz-type structure offers a generalized approach for spatial prior integration.
    • Imperfect spatial priors, when enforced rigidly, can lead to erroneous reconstruction results.

    Conclusions:

    • Structural priors, especially Helmholtz-type, show promise for improving NIR tomographic image reconstruction.
    • Careful consideration of prior accuracy is crucial to avoid introducing artifacts.
    • The presented framework provides a method for enhancing image reconstruction quality in NIR tomography.
