Lensfree On-chip Tomographic Microscopy Employing Multi-angle Illumination and Pixel Super-resolution08:41

Lensfree On-chip Tomographic Microscopy Employing Multi-angle Illumination and Pixel Super-resolution

11.9K
Lensfree optical tomography is a three-dimensional microscopy technique that offers a spatial resolution of <1 μm × <1 μm × <3 μm in x, y and z dimensions, respectively, over a large imaging-volume of 15-100 mm3, which can be particularly useful for integration with lab-on-a-chip...

3D Printing of Preclinical X-ray Computed Tomographic Data Sets

41.0K
Using modern plastic extrusion and printing technologies, it is now possible to quickly and inexpensively produce physical models of X-ray CT data taken in a laboratory. The three -dimensional printing of tomographic data is a powerful visualization, research, and educational tool that may now be accessed by the preclinical imaging...

Structure of HIV-1 Capsid Assemblies by Cryo-electron Microscopy and Iterative Helical Real-space Reconstruction

17.8K
This article describes a method to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) structure of helically assembled molecules using cryo-electron microscopy. In this protocol, we use HIV-1 capsid assemblies to illustrate the detailed 3D reconstruction procedure for achieving a density map by the iterative helical real-space reconstruction...

Preparing Adherent Cells for X-ray Fluorescence Imaging by Chemical Fixation

9.8K
Here, we present a protocol on how to determine the quantity and distribution of metals in a sample using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence. We focus on adherent cells, and describe the chemical fixation method to prepare this sample. We then describe how to mount and image the sample using synchrotron X-rays.

X-ray Dose Reduction through Adaptive Exposure in Fluoroscopic Imaging

14.8K
We are developing a dynamic adaptive exposure technique using our scanning beam digital X-ray system. Rather than exposing an object uniformly, the exposure is adapted depending on the opacity of the object. Here we show an experiment on an anthropomorphic phantom that resulted in a dose saving of...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • X-ray Imaging
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Iterative tomographic reconstruction is used in phase-sensitive x-ray imaging.
  • Existing methods do not correct for optical element drifts, causing artifacts.
  • Current artifact reduction requires extra flat field images, increasing scan time and dose.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved theoretical model for iterative tomographic reconstruction.
  • To account for optical element drifts during x-ray imaging scans.
  • To reduce scan time, radiation dose, and image artifacts.

Main Methods:

  • Expanded the theoretical model for iterative tomographic reconstruction.
  • Incorporated correction for optical element drifts.
  • Developed capability for combined absorption and phase contrast reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Significantly reduced ring-artifacts in reconstructed images.
  • Allowed for substantial reduction in scan time and radiation dose.
  • Achieved improved contrast-to-noise ratios using combined contrast reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • The enhanced model effectively reduces artifacts in phase-sensitive x-ray imaging.
  • The new approach allows for faster scans and lower radiation doses.
  • Combined absorption and phase contrast imaging offers superior image quality.
