Hybrid x-ray/optical luminescence imaging: characterization of experimental conditions.
PURPOSE The feasibility of x-ray luminescence imaging is investigated using a dual-modality imaging system that merges x-ray and optical imaging. This modality utilizes x-ray activated nanophosphors that luminesce when excited by ionizing photons. By doping phosphors with lanthanides, which emit light in the visible and near infrared range, the luminescence is suitable for biological applicatio...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of x-ray luminescence optical tomography for small-animal imaging.
X-ray luminescence optical tomography (XLOT) is an emerging hybrid imaging modality in which x-ray excitable particles (phosphor particles) emit optical photons when stimulated with a collimated x-ray beam. XLOT can potentially combine the high sensitivity of optical imaging with the high spatial resolution of x-ray imaging. For reconstruction of XLOT data, we compared two reconstruction algori...
متن کاملDevelopment of a focused-X-ray luminescence tomography (FXLT) system
Biophotonics is an active research area in molecular imaging, genetic diagnosis and prognosis, with direct applicability in precision medicine. However, long-standing challenges of biophotonics are well known due to low signal-to-noise ratio and poor image quality, mainly due to strong optical scattering especially in deep tissues. Recently, X-ray luminescence computed tomography (XLCT) has eme...
متن کاملLimited-angle x-ray luminescence tomography: methodology and feasibility study.
X-ray luminescence tomography (XLT) has recently been proposed as a new imaging modality for biological imaging applications. This modality utilizes phosphor nanoparticles which luminesce near-infrared light when excited by x-ray photons. The advantages of this modality are that it uniquely combines the high sensitivity of radioluminescent nanoparticles and the high spatial localization of coll...
متن کاملMultiple pinhole collimator based X-ray luminescence computed tomography.
X-ray luminescence computed tomography (XLCT) is an emerging hybrid imaging modality, which is able to improve the spatial resolution of optical imaging to hundreds of micrometers for deep targets by using superfine X-ray pencil beams. However, due to the low X-ray photon utilization efficiency in a single pinhole collimator based XLCT, it takes a long time to acquire measurement data. Herein, ...
