Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

6.8K
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...

Deconvolution01:20

Deconvolution

284
Deconvolution, also known as inverse filtering, is the process of extracting the impulse response from known input and output signals. This technique is vital in scenarios where the system's characteristics are unknown, and they must be inferred from the observable signals.
Deconvolution involves several mathematical techniques to derive the impulse response. One common approach is polynomial division. In this method, the input and output sequences are treated as coefficients of...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.6K
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.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

7.4K
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...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

8.9K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) is crucial for retinal imaging.
  • Image quality in SS-OCT can be limited by noise, affecting diagnostic accuracy.
  • Traditional noise reduction methods like averaging can reduce resolution and increase acquisition time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a deep learning (DL) model for noise reduction in SS-OCT volumetric scans.
  • To assess the impact of DL denoising on image quality metrics.
  • To determine if DL denoising preserves structural integrity and diagnostic information.

Main Methods:

  • Three image groups were analyzed: averaged scans, unaveraged scans, and DL-denoised scans.
  • Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) was used to measure signal-to-noise improvement.
  • Multiscale structural similarity index (MS-SSIM) assessed structural fidelity compared to averaged images.
  • Choroidal vascularity index (CVI) was calculated to evaluate the practical impact on a key diagnostic metric.

Main Results:

  • DL denoising and averaging yielded similar deep choroidal CNR.
  • Both averaged and denoised images showed significantly higher maximum CNR than unaveraged images.
  • MS-SSIM was significantly higher for DL-denoised images compared to unaveraged images, indicating better structural preservation.
  • CVI values were comparable between averaged and DL-denoised images.

Conclusions:

  • The DL denoising model effectively reduces noise in SS-OCT scans.
  • DL denoising produces high-quality images comparable to or exceeding traditional averaging techniques.
  • This technology offers a promising approach for improving SS-OCT image analysis without compromising diagnostic accuracy.
