Dental Imaging Using Mesoscopic Fluorescence Molecular Tomography: An ex Vivo Feasibility Study
Some dental lesions are difficult to detect with traditional anatomical imaging methods, such as, with visual observation, dental radiography and X-ray computed tomography (CT). Therefore, we investigated the viability of using an optical imaging technique, Mesoscopic Fluorescence Molecular Tomography (MFMT) to retrieve molecular contrast in dental samples. To establish feasibility of obtaining...
متن کاملImaging engineered tissues using structural and functional optical coherence tomography.
As the field of tissue engineering evolves, there will be an increasingly important need to visualize and track the complex dynamic changes that occur within three-dimensional constructs. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), as an emerging imaging technology applied to biological materials, offers a number of significant advantages to visualize these changes. Structural OCT has been used to inve...
متن کاملFluorescence Molecular Tomography (FMT) Imaging Techniques
Recent advances in optical technology have taken fluorescent imaging beyond the standard two-dimensional (2D) epifluorescence imaging into the realm of three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence molecular tomographic (FMT®) imaging for improved localization and quantification in deep tissue. This requires the transillumination of animals (i.e. the passing of light through the animals) rather than the ...
متن کاملDesign standards for engineered tissues.
Traditional technologies are required to meet specific, quantitative standards of safety and performance. In tissue engineering, similar standards will have to be developed to enable routine clinical use and customized tissue fabrication. In this essay, we discuss a framework of concepts leading towards general design standards for tissue-engineering, focusing in particular on systematic design...
متن کاملFluorescence Molecular Tomography: Principles and Potential for Pharmaceutical Research
Fluorescence microscopic imaging is widely used in biomedical research to study molecular and cellular processes in cell culture or tissue samples. This is motivated by the high inherent sensitivity of fluorescence techniques, the spatial resolution that compares favorably with cellular dimensions, the stability of the fluorescent labels used and the sophisticated labeling strategies that have ...
