Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...

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...
Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses01:20

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses

As discussed in previous lessons, strain energy in a material is the energy stored when it is elastically deformed, a concept crucial in materials science and mechanical engineering. This energy results from the internal work done against the cohesive forces within the material. When a material undergoes shearing stress and corresponding shearing strain, the strain energy density, which is the energy stored per unit volume, is calculated. Within the elastic limit, where the stress is...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography

Cardiac imaging studies encompass a wide range of noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques designed to visualize the heart's structure and function in detail. One such technique is echocardiography, which uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce detailed images of the heart, known as echocardiograms.
Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion, evaluates...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Viscoelastic properties are crucial for understanding tissue mechanics and disease.
  • Current imaging techniques may lack the resolution or specificity to capture frequency-dependent mechanical responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate an optical technique for imaging the frequency-dependent complex mechanical response of viscoelastic samples.
  • To establish Spectroscopic Optical Coherence Elastography (S-OCE) as a high-resolution imaging method for detecting pathologies with distinct viscoelastic signatures.

Main Methods:

  • Acquisition of three-dimensional hyperspectral data (2D B-mode images + vibration frequency).
  • Utilized Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) signal analysis under external mechanical excitation in the audio-frequency range.
  • Developed processing techniques to extract local complex mechanical response from wide-ranging sample velocities.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated frequency-dependent contrast in displacement amplitude and phase for silicone phantoms with stiffness variations.
  • Showcased distinct mechanical spectra between adipose and tumor regions in ex vivo tumor margin measurements.
  • Observed spatially-resolved contrast in displacement amplitude and phase images of rat muscle tissue.

Conclusions:

  • This work represents the first demonstration of mechanical spectroscopy using B-mode OCT imaging.
  • S-OCE provides high-resolution imaging for detecting tissue pathologies characterized by frequency-dependent viscoelasticity.
  • The technique shows promise for non-invasive characterization of tissue mechanical properties.
