Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

110
DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Computed Tomography

7.4K
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...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

8.0K
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...

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or CMRI, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that employs a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to create precise images of the heart and arteries. It provides comprehensive information about cardiac anatomy, function, perfusion, and tissue characterization without ionizing radiation.IndicationsCMRI diagnoses various heart conditions, including tissue damage from heart attacks, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, aortic issues (tears, aneurysms,...

Summary

We developed ultrahigh-resolution factor angiography (URFA) to overcome motion artifacts in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). URFA significantly improves visualization of small vessels by reducing motion-related noise by nearly 50%.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Medical Imaging
  • Vascular Biology

Background:

  • Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is crucial for non-invasive vascular imaging.
  • High-resolution OCTA struggles with motion artifacts, hindering the characterization of small vessels.
  • Tissue motion and scanner instability pose significant challenges for current OCTA techniques.

  • To develop a novel OCTA technique for ultrahigh-resolution and motion-insensitive vascular characterization.
  • To improve the visualization and quantification of micro-capillaries in vivo.
  • To reduce motion artifacts in OCTA imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Developed ultrahigh-resolution factor angiography (URFA) by modeling scans as generative latent variables.
  • Separated motion-related variance from shared features using iterative log-likelihood maximization.
  • Integrated high-order factors to decouple dynamic vascular features from static tissue structures.
  • Combined URFA with Gabor-domain optical coherence microscopy for enhanced imaging.

Main Results:

  • URFA successfully extracted high-resolution cutaneous vasculature despite severe involuntary motion.
