Acoustic Angiography: A New Imaging Modality for Assessing Microvasculature Architecture
The purpose of this paper is to provide the biomedical imaging community with details of a new high resolution contrast imaging approach referred to as "acoustic angiography." Through the use of dual-frequency ultrasound transducer technology, images acquired with this approach possess both high resolution and a high contrast-to-tissue ratio, which enables the visualization of microvascular arc...
متن کاملChoriocapillaris and Choroidal Microvasculature Imaging with Ultrahigh Speed OCT Angiography
We demonstrate in vivo choriocapillaris and choroidal microvasculature imaging in normal human subjects using optical coherence tomography (OCT). An ultrahigh speed swept source OCT prototype at 1060 nm wavelengths with a 400 kHz A-scan rate is developed for three-dimensional ultrahigh speed imaging of the posterior eye. OCT angiography is used to image three-dimensional vascular structure with...
متن کاملCerenkov imaging - a new modality for molecular imaging.
Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is an emerging hybrid modality that utilizes the light emission from many commonly used medical isotopes. Cerenkov radiation (CR) is produced when charged particles travel through a dielectric medium faster than the speed of light in that medium. First described in detail nearly 100 years ago, CR has only recently applied for biomedical imaging purposes. The ...
متن کاملImaging Foveal Microvasculature: Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Versus Adaptive Optics Scanning Light Ophthalmoscope Fluorescein Angiography
PURPOSE To compare the use of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscope fluorescein angiography (AOSLO FA) for characterizing the foveal microvasculature in healthy and vasculopathic eyes. METHODS Four healthy controls and 11 vasculopathic patients (4 diabetic retinopathy, 4 retinal vein occlusion, and 3 sickle cell retinopathy) were ima...
متن کاملVP-PET: a new imaging modality?
It is unusual for a relatively mature field such as nuclear medicine to see an innovation akin to a new imaging modality. Although in its preliminary stages, the work by Tai et al. (1) on pages 471–479 of this issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine describes a novel concept that could be considered as such. Whole-body PET might have enjoyed a dramatic market penetration and growth in the clin...
