چکیده
Acousto-electric interaction signal (AEI signal) resulting from interaction of acoustic pressure wave and electrical current field has received recent attention in biomedical field for detection and registration of bioelectrical current. The signal is of very small value and brings about several challenges when detecting it. Several observations on the AEI signal have been done in saline solution and on nerves and tissues under controlled condition that give optimistic indication for its utilization. Ultrasound Current Source Density Imaging (UCSDI) has been introduced, that uses the AEI signal to image the current distribution. This review provides an overview of the investigations on the AEI signal and USCDI imaging that has been made, their results and several considerations on the limitations and future possibilities on using the acousto-electric interaction signal.

Describing geometry and symmetry of cryo-EM datasets using algebra
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a microscopy technique used to discover the 3D structure of molecules from very noisy 2D images. This thesis presents two projects that use algebra to describe cryo-EM datasets. In the first part, we obtain an algebraic description of common lines datasets. Common lines are lines of intersection between cryo-EM images in 3D. They are an important ingredient...
متن کامل2D and 3D Alignment for Electron Microscopy via Graphics Processing Units
In this paper we address the GPU-based acceleration of the alignment of 2D and 3D images in the context of Electron Tomography. The alignment of images (2D) is part of the early stages in the 3D reconstruction of tomograms, since the images obtained by the electron microscope must be transformed to correct the misalignments inherent to Electron Microscopy. The alignment of volumes (3D) is appli...
متن کاملThree-dimensional reconstruction methods in Single Particle Analysis from transmission electron microscopy data.
The Transmission Electron Microscope provides two-dimensional (2D) images of the specimens under study. However, the architecture of these specimens is defined in a three-dimensional (3D) coordinate space, in volumetric terms, making the direct microscope output somehow "short" in terms of dimensionality. This situation has prompted the development of methods to quantitatively estimate 3D volum...
متن کاملElectron Microscopy: From 2D to 3D Images with Special Reference to Muscle
This is a brief and necessarily very sketchy presentation of the evolution in electron microscopy (EM) imaging that was driven by the necessity of extracting 3-D views from the essentially 2-D images produced by the electron beam. The lens design of standard transmission electron microscope has not been greatly altered since its inception. However, technical advances in specimen preparation, im...

متن کاملFast Noise-image Registration for Electron Microscopy
1. INTRODUCTION Single particle electron microscopy (EM) has become the most powerful technique in structural biology for studying large macromolecules and their assemblies. At near physiological conditions, the 3D structure of relevant biological complexes can be determined from sub-nanometer to even near atomic resolution (Frank, 2006). Using a small amount of purified sample, researchers pro...
