Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

14.8K
Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

14.7K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

12.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Ultrasound Technology
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • High frame rate ultrasound imaging (HFUI) enables advanced clinical applications like fast cardiovascular and Doppler imaging.
  • Coherent plane-wave compounding is a beamforming technique for HFUI, achieving dynamic transmit focusing.
  • Spatial Matched Filtering (SMF) is a novel ultrafast beamforming method offering dynamic transmit-receive focusing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate coherent plane-wave compounding with SMF for enhanced image contrast in HFUI.
  • To evaluate the performance of the proposed Compounded SMF (CSMF) method.
  • To compare CSMF with existing methods like Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) and Compounded Dynamic-Receive-Focus (CDRF).

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel Compounded Spatial Matched Filtering (CSMF) technique.
  • Combined plane-wave compounding with SMF beamforming.
  • Quantified image quality using contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and compared with SAFT and CDRF.

Main Results:

  • CSMF improves image contrast without compromising high frame rate capabilities.
  • CSMF demonstrates superior contrast performance compared to DAS-based compounding methods.
  • CSMF achieves contrast levels comparable to dynamic transmit-receive focusing using fewer transmit events (21).

Conclusions:

  • The proposed CSMF method enhances image contrast in high frame rate ultrasound imaging.
  • CSMF offers a promising approach for improved diagnostic accuracy in applications requiring high temporal resolution.
  • CSMF provides an efficient beamforming solution, achieving high contrast with reduced computational complexity.
