Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.1K
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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

3.0K
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.

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

7.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Optical imaging
  • Tomography
  • Image reconstruction

Background:

  • Standard filtered back projection in optical projection tomography suffers from space-variant tangential blurring.
  • Blurring increases with distance from the rotation axis due to shallow depth of focus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel optical tomographic image reconstruction technique.
  • To address and reduce blurring in optical projection tomography.

Main Methods:

  • Incorporation of the point spread function of the imaging lens into an iterative reconstruction process.
  • Demonstration using numerical simulations and experimental data of fluorescent beads.
  • Application to high-resolution emission optical projection tomography of a zebrafish larva.

Main Results:

  • Greatly reduced radial and tangential blurring across the entire field of view compared to filtered back projection.
  • Significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio in reconstructed images.
  • Successful high-resolution imaging of a whole zebrafish larva.

Conclusions:

  • The novel iterative reconstruction technique effectively reduces blurring in optical projection tomography.
  • This method enhances image quality and signal-to-noise ratio for biological imaging applications.
  • The technique shows promise for high-resolution imaging of small organisms.
