Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

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...

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Area of Science:

  • Ultrasound imaging
  • Optical ultrasound (OpUS)
  • Image reconstruction algorithms

Background:

  • Traditional delay-and-sum ultrasound reconstruction is suboptimal for low channel-count systems, leading to significant image artefacts.
  • Model-based inversion methods can suppress artefacts but are often computationally intensive, hindering real-time application.
  • The optical ultrasound (OpUS) modality utilizes very low channel counts, exacerbating artefact issues and limiting dynamic range.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a non-iterative, direct model-based inversion (DMI) method for ultrasound image reconstruction.
  • To address image artefacts and improve image quality in low channel-count systems, specifically optical ultrasound (OpUS).
  • To enable real-time or near-real-time image reconstruction on modest computational resources.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a direct model-based inversion (DMI) approach.
  • Application of DMI to both synthetic and experimental optical ultrasound (OpUS) data.
  • One-off pre-computation of system matrices to optimize reconstruction time.

Main Results:

  • Substantial reduction in image artefacts and noise was achieved using the DMI method.
  • Improved recovery of image amplitudes was observed in reconstructed images.
  • Significantly reduced reconstruction times were realized after system matrix pre-computation, even in mildly inhomogeneous scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • Direct model-based inversion (DMI) is an effective method for improving image quality in low channel-count ultrasound systems like OpUS.
  • DMI offers a computationally feasible solution for reducing artefacts and noise, enhancing amplitude recovery, and speeding up reconstruction.
  • The DMI approach is broadly applicable to other low channel-count imaging systems, potentially improving image quality and reducing system complexity.
