Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

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...

Background:

Snapshot spectral imaging captures spatial-spectral data rapidly but is limited by bulky optics.
Current systems are unsuitable for space-constrained applications like endoscopy and cellular imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an ultracompact snapshot spectral imaging system.
To overcome the size limitations of existing spectral imaging technologies.

Main Methods:

Proposed a parallelized metasurface computed tomography strategy.
Integrated seven multifunctional sub-metasurfaces for multi-angle spectral data acquisition.
