Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.2K
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...

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...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

11.9K
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...

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision01:15

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

2.3K
Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Medical Imaging Technology

    Background:

    • Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) is a crucial imaging modality.
    • Image quality in FD-OCT can be degraded by dispersion artifacts that vary with depth.
    • Accurate dispersion compensation is essential for reliable OCT imaging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel depth-dependent dispersion compensation algorithm for FD-OCT.
    • To enhance the image quality and clarity of OCT scans across varying sample depths.
    • To provide an analytical solution for correcting depth-related dispersion effects.

    Main Methods:

    • An iterative method was employed to derive an analytical formula for depth-dependent dispersion compensation.
    • The algorithm was applied to process both phantom and in vivo OCT images.
    • Image quality was quantitatively assessed using a sharpness metric based on the variation coefficient.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed depth-dependent dispersion compensation algorithm effectively reduced dispersion artifacts.
    • Processed phantom and in vivo images showed significant improvements in clarity and detail.
    • Quantitative analysis confirmed superior performance compared to other dispersion compensation methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed depth-dependent dispersion compensation algorithm successfully enhances FD-OCT image quality.
    • This method provides a robust solution for correcting depth-related dispersion, improving diagnostic capabilities.
    • The algorithm offers improved image quality throughout the full depth of the sample.
