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

4.9K
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...

X-ray Imaging

5.9K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study introduces non-reciprocal broken-ray tomography (NRBRT) for enhanced biomedical optical imaging. NRBRT simultaneously reconstructs fluorophore concentration and tissue optical properties without spectral assumptions, improving accuracy in fluorescence imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Medical Imaging
    • Tomography

    Background:

    • Optical imaging offers non-invasive visualization of physiological markers.
    • Extrinsic contrast agents, like fluorescent molecules, enhance optical imaging sensitivity.
    • Current methods often determine intrinsic and extrinsic optical parameters separately, leading to potential errors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To validate the novel non-reciprocal broken-ray tomography (NRBRT) theory for fluorescence imaging.
    • To assess NRBRT's ability to simultaneously reconstruct fluorophore concentration and intrinsic optical properties.
    • To evaluate NRBRT's performance under realistic conditions and investigate detector effects.

    Main Methods:

    • Numerical validation using Monte Carlo simulations to generate forward data.
    • Application of NRBRT theory to weakly scattering systems.
    • Investigation of detector characteristics like area and acceptance angle.

    Main Results:

    • NRBRT enables simultaneous reconstruction of fluorophore concentration and intrinsic optical attenuation coefficients.
    • No assumptions are required regarding the spectral dependence of tissue optical properties.
    • Successful tomographic imaging of samples up to four scattering lengths was demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • NRBRT provides a robust method for accurate fluorescence tomography.
    • The technique overcomes limitations of separate parameter determination in optical imaging.
    • NRBRT shows potential for improved biomedical imaging applications.
