Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Computed Tomography

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 Tomography

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
Medical Imaging
Computational Science

Background:

Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) typically uses Tikhonov regularization (L(2) norm), which can lead to blurred images and assumes Gaussian distribution of optical properties.
Abnormalities in biological tissues are often spatially localized, meaning changes in optical properties are sparse.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel DOT image reconstruction method incorporating sparsity regularization (L(1) norm).
To improve image resolution and detection accuracy for localized abnormalities in DOT.

Main Methods:

Image reconstruction using L(1) norm regularization to exploit the sparsity of optical property changes.
Iterative solution employing the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm.
Validation using simulated 3D datasets and comparison with Level-Set, Tikhonov, and SIRT algorithms.

Main Results:

The proposed L(1) norm sparsity regularization method demonstrates superior resolution compared to Tikhonov regularization.
The method effectively reconstructs images with localized abnormalities.
Numerical results show efficiency in distinguishing two closely spaced abnormalities.

Conclusions:

Sparsity regularization with the EM algorithm offers a significant improvement for DOT image reconstruction, particularly for detecting localized abnormalities.
This approach overcomes limitations of traditional methods like Tikhonov regularization, providing sharper and more accurate images.
