Sagittal-imaging Trans-rectal Optical Tomography Reconstruction with Structural Guidance: Initial Simulative Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reconstruction of sagittal trans-rectal optical tomography for prostate imaging is presented with assumption of structural guidance from trans-rectal ultrasound. The spatial prior combined with Jacobian weighing improves the recovery of lesion depth. © 2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (170.6960) Tomography; (170.3010) Image reconstruction techniques; (170.7230) Urology

Trans-rectal ultrasound-coupled near-infrared optical tomography of the prostate, part I: simulation.
We investigate the feasibility of trans-rectal optical tomography of the prostate using an endo-rectal near-infrared (NIR) applicator that is to be integrated with a trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe. Integration with TRUS ensures accurate endo-rectal positioning of the NIR applicator and the utility of using TRUS spatial prior information to guide NIR image reconstruction. The prostate NIR ...
متن کامل“Reverse-Uptake” of Zinc-specific Fluorophore in the Prostate by Trans-rectal Florescence Diffuse Optical Tomography
Using fluorophore specific to zinc, a well-established prostate cancer marker, to detect prostate cancer will be challenged by the “reverse-uptake” of the fluorophore. A sensitivityadapted reconstruction method may improve the target recovery in axial-imaging geometry. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (170.7230) Urology; (170.6960) Tomography; (170.3010) Image reconstruction techniq...
متن کاملComputational Aspects of Endoscopic (Trans-rectal) Near-infrared Optical Tomography: Initial Investigations
Endoscopic near-infrared (NIR) optical tomography is a novel approach that allows the blood-based high intrinsic optical contrast to be imaged for the detection of cancer in internal organs. In endoscopic NIR tomography, the imaging array is arranged within the interior of the medium as opposed to the exterior as seen in conventional NIR tomography approaches. The source illuminates outward fro...
متن کاملO-19: A Comparison of Pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Trans-Vaginal and Trans-Rectal Sonography with Laparoscopic Findings in The Diagnosis of Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis
Background The performance of TVS, TRS and MRI for the diagnosis of DIE have been separately reported in earlier studies. However, the three methods have not been concurrently compared in terms of their overall performance and classified results as per different anatomical locations of DIE lesions in a large study population. This study was an attempt to compare pelvic magnetic resonance imagin...
متن کاملExperimental Visualization of Labyrinthine Structure with Optical Coherence Tomography
Introduction:Visualization of inner ear structures is a valuable strategy for researchers and clinicians working on hearing pathologies. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technology which may be used for the visualization of tissues. In this experimental study we aimed to evaluate inner ear anatomy in well-prepared human labyrinthine bones.Materials and Methods:Thr...
