3D Image-Guided Automatic Pipette Positioning for Single Cell Experiments in vivo
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a method to facilitate single cell, image-guided experiments including in vivo electrophysiology and electroporation. Our method combines 3D image data acquisition, visualization and on-line image analysis with precise control of physical probes such as electrophysiology microelectrodes in brain tissue in vivo. Adaptive pipette positioning provides a platform for future advances in automated, single cell in vivo experiments.

Standard edge detection algorithms versus conventional auto-contouring used for a three-dimensional rigid CT-CT matching
Background: To reduce uncertainties of patient positioning, the Computerized Tomography (CT) images acquired at the treatment planning time can be compared with those images obtained during radiation dose delivery. This can be followed during dose delivery procedure as Image Guided radiotherapy (IGRT) to verify the prescribed radiation dose delivery to the target as well as to monitor ...
متن کاملTracking Brain Deformations in Time-Sequences of 3D US Images
During a neurosurgical intervention, the brain tissues shift and warp. In order to keep an accurate positioning of the surgical instruments, one has to estimate this deformation from intra-operative images. We present in this article a feasibility study of a tracking tool based on intra-operative 3D ultrasound (US) image sequences. The automatic processing of this kind of images is of great int...

One of the most common positioning errors in panoramic radiography is palatoglossal air space above the apices of the root of maxillary teeth. It causes a radiolucency obscuring the apices of maxillary teeth. In the case of this positioning error, the imaging should be repeated. This causes the patient be exposed to radiation again. To avoid the repetition of exposing harmful X-rays to the pati...

متن کاملBioprinting in Vascularization Strategies
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has revolutionized tissue engineering field because of its excellent potential of accurately positioning cell-laden constructs. One of the main challenges in the formation of functional engineered tissues is the lack of an efficient and extensive network of microvessels to support cell viability. By printing vascular cells and appropriate biomaterials,...
