3D Fourier analysis methods for digital processing and 3D visualization of confocal transmission images
نویسنده
چکیده
We have developed digital 3D Fourier transform methods for comparing the 3D spatial frequency content and hence the axial and transverse resolution of confocal versus conventional microscope images. In particular, we have utilized these techniques to evaluate the performance of our recently-developed confocal transmission microscope for bright field and Nomarski DIC imaging. We have also found that Fourier methods, such as the Hibert transform, can be successfully employed to overcome the difficulty of visualizing differentially-shaded phase objects, in 3D, that have been acquired using transmission DIC optics.

متن کاملUltra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

Confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) can obtain multichannel 3D images from biological tissues for analysis of tissue structures, where each channel results from a particular fluorescent label. The visualization of the multi-channel 3D confocal microscope images is required for qualitative, interactive, and even quantitative analysis of the structures of the studied tissues. Despite the av...
متن کاملInfluences of reconstruction and attenuation correction in brain SPECT images obtained by the hybrid SPECT/CT device: evaluation with a 3‐dimensional brain phantom
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influences of reconstruction and attenuation correction on the differences in the radioactivity distributions in 123I brain SPECT obtained by the hybrid SPECT/CT device. Methods: We used the 3-dimensional (3D) brain phantom, which imitates the precise structure of gray mater, white matter and bone regions. It was filled with 123I solution (20...
