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 Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

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 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...

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...

Area of Science:

Optical Engineering
Biomedical Imaging
Computational Optics

Background:

Optical aberrations limit imaging resolution and signal-to-noise ratio in complex media.
Traditional aberration correction methods struggle with high-order and chromatic aberrations, especially in scattering environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and demonstrate a guide-star-based method for numerical correction of optical aberrations in 3D broadband interferometric tomography.
To improve imaging performance in scattering biological tissues and phantoms.

Main Methods:

Indirect wavefront sensing using scattered light from point-like scatterers (guide stars) within a 3D tomogram.
Numerical compensation of defocus and low-order aberrations to reveal guide stars.
Correction of high-order monochromatic and chromatic aberrations using revealed guide stars.
Optimization of aberration correction using image metrics, analogous to phase-conjugation.

Main Results:

Demonstrated improved resolution and signal-to-noise ratio in a silicone phantom with sub-resolution scatterers.
Achieved enhanced resolution of fine structures over an extended volume in highly scattering muscle tissue.
Validated the effectiveness of guide-star-based computational adaptive optics in broadband interferometric tomography.

Conclusions:

Guide-star-based aberration correction is effective for improving imaging quality in 3D broadband interferometric tomography.
The method offers a powerful approach for adaptive optics in scattering media, analogous to phase-conjugation and time-reversal.
This technique has significant potential for advanced biomedical imaging applications.
