Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (INEPT)01:15

Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (INEPT)

953
Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (INEPT) is an advanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technique specifically designed to detect and enhance the signals of low-abundance nuclei, such as carbon-13 and nitrogen-15, in small molecules. The fundamental principle behind INEPT is the transfer of polarization from a more abundant and highly polarizable nucleus, typically hydrogen-1, to the low-abundance nucleus of interest. This process effectively boosts the NMR signal of the...

Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor01:31

Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor

5.8K
The presence of a dielectric medium in a capacitor not only changes the voltage and capacitance but also affects the electric field. In general, dielectrics can be of two types: polar and nonpolar. In a polar dielectric, the positive and negative charges in the molecules are separated by a distance and hence have a permanent dipole moment. In contrast, no such charge separation exists in a nonpolar dielectric, however the nonpolar molecules get polarized in the presence of an external electric...

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

38.3K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Potential Due to a Polarized Object01:29

Potential Due to a Polarized Object

694
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)01:20

¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)

1.6K
When proton-coupled carbon-13 spectra are simplified by a broadband proton decoupling technique, structural information about the coupled protons is lost. Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) is a technique that provides information on the number of hydrogens attached to each carbon in a molecule. While the DEPT experiment utilizes complex pulse sequences, the pulse delay and flip angle are specifically manipulated. The resulting signals have different phases depending on...

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses01:20

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses

457
As discussed in previous lessons, strain energy in a material is the energy stored when it is elastically deformed, a concept crucial in materials science and mechanical engineering. This energy results from the internal work done against the cohesive forces within the material. When a material undergoes shearing stress and corresponding shearing strain, the strain energy density, which is the energy stored per unit volume, is calculated. Within the elastic limit, where the stress is...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Medical Imaging
  • Tissue Mechanics

Background:

  • Accurate tissue discrimination is crucial for disease diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Current imaging techniques may lack the specificity to differentiate similar tissue types.
  • Optical coherence elastography (OCE) offers mechanical contrast, while polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) provides microstructural information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel technique, polarization-sensitive optical coherence elastography (PS-OCE), for enhanced tissue discrimination.
  • To integrate Jones matrix-based PS-OCT with compression OCE for simultaneous measurement of multiple tissue properties.
  • To assess the capability of PS-OCE in differentiating between porcine aorta and esophagus tissues.

Main Methods:

  • PS-OCE was developed by combining Jones matrix-based PS-OCT with compression OCE.
  • The system simultaneously measured OCT intensity, attenuation coefficient, birefringence, and microstructural deformation (MSD) under compression.
  • Ex vivo porcine aorta and esophagus tissues were analyzed using PS-OCE and compared with histological imaging.

Main Results:

  • PS-OCE generated cross-sectional images and 3-D depth-trajectory plots of tissue properties.
  • Tissue boundaries identified histologically corresponded to inflection points in the PS-OCE depth-trajectory plot.
  • Histogram analysis and t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding (t-SNE) visualization demonstrated PS-OCE's ability to discriminate between porcine esophagus tissues based on measured properties.

Conclusions:

  • PS-OCE effectively integrates optical and mechanical property measurements for improved tissue characterization.
  • The developed PS-OCE method shows significant potential for differentiating complex biological tissues.
  • This technique offers a promising tool for non-invasive diagnostics and research in tissue engineering and pathology.
