Quantitative image contrast enhancement in time-gated transillumination of scattering media.
Experimental work in turbid media has shown that trans-illumination images can be significantly improved by limiting light collection to a subset of photons which are minimally distorted by scattering. The literature details numerous schemes (commonly termed ballistic imaging), most often based on time-gating and/or spatially filtering the detected light. However, due to the complex nature of t...
متن کاملTime-dependent contrast functions for quantitative imaging in time-resolved transillumination experiments.
We have developed a methodology that can be used in reconstruction algorithms to quantify the optical coefficients and the geometrical cross section of a weakly abnormal optical target embedded in an otherwise homogeneous medium. This novel procedure uses differenttime-dependent point-spread functions to analyze the diffusive and absorptive contrasts obtained from time-of-flight measurements. D...
متن کاملTransillumination imaging through scattering media by use of photorefractive polymers.
We demonstrate the use of a near-infrared-sensitive photorefractive polymer with high efficiency for imaging through scattering media, using an all-optical holographic time gate. Imaging through nine scattering mean free paths is performed at 800nm with a mode-locked continuous-wave Ti:sapphire laser.
متن کاملDeveloping a PC-based portal image contrast enhancement program
ABSTRACTBackground: Delivering the radiation dose to the target volume and minimizing the dose to normal tissues are the main objectives in radiotherapy. The aim of our study is to enhance the contrast of the portal image to increase the accuracy of delineation of the organs in the irradiation field. Methods: The software was written based on local enhancement of the pixel values in image ma...
متن کاملOptical parametrically gated microscopy in scattering media.
High-resolution imaging in turbid media has been limited by the intrinsic compromise between the gating efficiency (removal of multiply-scattered light background) and signal strength in the existing optical gating techniques. This leads to shallow depths due to the weak ballistic signal, and/or degraded resolution due to the strong multiply-scattering background--the well-known trade-off betwe...
