Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

44
DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.5K
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...

Computed Tomography

5.7K
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...

Three-Dimensional Microscopy in Microbiology

263
Three-dimensional imaging techniques are essential in cell biology, allowing researchers to visualize intricate cellular structures with high resolution. Two prominent methods, Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy (DIC) and Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy (CSLM), provide distinct advantages for imaging live and thick specimens, respectively.Differential Interference Contrast MicroscopyDIC microscopy enhances contrast in transparent, unstained samples by converting phase...

Area of Science:

  • Optical Imaging
  • Biophysics
  • Metasurface Technology

Background:

  • Three-dimensional microscopic imaging is crucial for biological and clinical research.
  • Diffraction limits the depth of field in high-resolution optical imaging.
  • Overcoming diffraction is essential for advanced microscopic techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To overcome the diffraction limitations in high-resolution optical imaging.
  • To achieve extended depth of focus without compromising lateral resolution.
  • To develop a general imaging method applicable to various modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a specific arrangement of light illumination and collection paths.
  • Employed metasurfaces to decouple lateral resolution from depth-of-focus.
  • Established a one-to-one correspondence (bijection) between incident and collected light along a focal line.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated tissue imaging using optical coherence tomography at 1.3 μm wavelength.
  • Achieved ~3.2 μm lateral resolution maintained over a 1.25 mm depth-of-focus.
