Imager that combines near-infrared diffusive light and ultrasound.
We introduce an imaging technique that combines complementary features of ultrasound and near-infrared diffusive light imaging. We achieve the combined technology experimentally by mounting an ultrasound array together with multiple laser source and optical detector fibers upon a hand-held probe. The technique is demonstrated with tissue phantoms wherein both acoustic and optical sensors image ...
متن کاملPolariton-enhanced near field lithography and imaging with infrared light
A novel approach to making a material with negative index of refraction in the infrared frequency band is described. Materials with negative dielectric permittivity ! are utilized in this approach. Those could be either plasmonic (metals) or polaritonic (semiconductors) in nature. A sub-wavelength plasmonic crystal (SPC), with the period much smaller than the wavelength of light, consisting of ...
متن کاملSimultaneous MR and Ultrasound Imaging
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has excellent soft-tissue contrast, multi-planar imaging capability, and sensitivity to subtle changes in tissue morphology and function Ultrasound imaging, on the other hand, has high temporal resolution volumetric imaging capabilities, the ability to quantify of blood flow, and detect boundaries with small acoustic impedance differences. In addition ultrasound...
متن کاملMedical near-infrared imaging
The use of near-infrared light in functional medical imaging has gained increasing interest during recent years. Techniques using near-infrared light for imaging can be used to study, e.g., hemodynamic responses on the cortex. Brain activation measurements can be performed using, e.g., MEG or fMRI, which, however, require heavy instrumentation. In medical near-infrared imaging, the instrumentat...
متن کاملI. Near-infrared imaging
As a prerequisite for cosmological studies using adaptive optics techniques, we have begun to identify and characterize faint sources in the vicinity of bright stars at high Galactic latitudes. The initial phase of this work has been a program of Ks imaging conducted with SOFI at the ESO NTT. From observations of 42 southern fields evenly divided between the spring and autumn skies, we have ide...
