Towards Quantitative ICG Angiography: Fluorescence Monte Carlo Multi Cylinder

Monte Carlo fluorescence microtomography.

Fluorescence microscopy allows real-time monitoring of optical molecular probes for disease characterization, drug development, and tissue regeneration. However, when a biological sample is thicker than 1 mm, intense scattering of light would significantly degrade the spatial resolution of fluorescence microscopy. In this paper, we develop a fluorescence microtomography technique that utilizes ...

Recovering intrinsic fluorescence by Monte Carlo modeling.

We present a novel way to recover intrinsic fluorescence in turbid media based on Monte Carlo generated look-up tables and making use of a diffuse reflectance measurement taken at the same location. The method has been validated on various phantoms with known intrinsic fluorescence and is benchmarked against photon-migration methods. This new method combines more flexibility in the probe design...

Multi-agent Monte Carlo Go

In this paper we propose a Multi-Agent version of UCT Monte Carlo Go. We use the emergent behavior of a great number of simple agents to increase the quality of the Monte Carlo simulations, increasing the strength of the artificial player as a whole. Instead of one agent playing against itself, different agents play in the simulation phase of the algorithm, leading to a better exploration of th...

Monte Carlo Simulation Towards Ripple Phase Modelling

We present a novel approach to analysis of the gel-fluid transition of lipid membrane. The method is based on the Pink's model but in contrast to its standard version the dipole character of the lipid molecules polar part is considered. Moreover, less constrained movement of entire molecules is allowed. Such an approach includes into the model conditions imposed by the adjacent medium such as i...
