Compressed-sensing enabled forward-viewing M-mode OCT for large field of view imaging
Abstract:
We present a method for generating large field of view three-dimensional images with a forward-viewing M-mode optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe that combines electromagnetic tracking with a compressed-sensing iterative soft-thresholding algorithm (CS-ISTA). Phantom and ex-vivo porcine studies demonstrate accurate 3D reconstruction of undersampled volumes and high-contrast tissue sample attenuation maps that delineate pulmonary vein from atrial tissue through blood, with an 88% compression rate with respect to Nyquist. This approach delivers the speed and image quality needed to guide radio-frequency ablation and other catheter-based interventions.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
