Automated 3D Optical Coherence Tomography to Elucidate Biofilm Morphogenesis Over Large Spatial Scales

7.3K
Microbial biofilms form complex architectures at interphases and develop into highly scale-dependent spatial patterns. Here, we introduce an experimental system (hard- and software) for the automated acquisition of 3D optical coherence tomography (OCT) datasets. This toolset allows the non-invasive and multi-scale characterization of biofilm morphogenesis in space and...

Evaluation of the Spatial Distribution of γH2AX following Ionizing Radiation

13.1K
Microscopic analysis of γH2AX foci, which form following the phosphorylation of H2AX at Ser-139 in response to DNA double-strand breaks, has become an invaluable tool in radiation biology. Here we used an antibody to mono-methylated histone H3 at lysine 4 as an epigenetic marker of actively transcribing euchromatin, to evaluate the spatial distribution of radiation-induced γH2AX formation within the nucleus.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate individual head models are essential for reliable high-density electroencephalography (hdEEG) brain imaging.
  • Precise identification of electroencephalography (EEG) sensor positions is fundamental for accurate neural activity estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the spatial positioning toolbox for head markers using 3D scans (SPOT3D), an extension of a previous automated sensor localization method.
  • To integrate a graphical user interface (GUI) for correcting EEG sensor positioning and adding head markers.

Main Methods:

  • Validation of the SPOT3D toolbox using 3D scan data from four participants with 256-channel hdEEG caps.
  • Quantification of misalignment between 3D scans and head shape, and errors in EEG sensor locations.
  • Assessment of automated method performance versus manual GUI adjustments.

Main Results:

  • The SPOT3D toolbox with GUI overcomes limitations of the automated method.
  • Enhanced precision and reliability in head marker positioning were achieved.
  • Manual GUI adjustments significantly improved accuracy over the automated approach alone.

Conclusions:

  • The SPOT3D toolbox, particularly with its GUI, significantly enhances the accuracy and reliability of head marker positioning for hdEEG.
  • This improved positioning is critical for accurate neural activity estimation in brain imaging applications.
