Quadrature Detection of Ultrasound-Modulated Photons with a Gain-Modulated, Image-Intensified, CCD Camera

چکیده
Acousto-optic imaging promises to provide in vivo images of optical contrast but with the superior spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging. Here we present novel quadrature detection of ultrasound-modulated photons with a gainmodulated, image-intensified, CCD camera. The additional detection of ultrasound-modulated fluorescence photons demonstrates potential for in vivo acousto-optic molecular imaging.

متن کاملUltrasound-modulated optical tomography with intense acoustic bursts.
Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT) detects ultrasonically modulated light to spatially localize multiply scattered photons in turbid media with the ultimate goal of imaging the optical properties in living subjects. A principal challenge of the technique is weak modulated signal strength. We discuss ways to push the limits of signal enhancement with intense acoustic bursts while conf...
متن کاملShot-noise detection of ultrasound-tagged photons in ultrasound-modulated optical imaging.
We propose a new detection method for ultrasound-modulated optical tomography that allows us to perform parallel speckle detection with optimum shot-noise sensitivity, using a CCD camera. Moreover, we show that making use of a spatial filter system allows us to fully filter out speckle decorrelation noise. This method is confirmed by a test experiment.
متن کاملSentinel lymph node detection ex vivo using ultrasound-modulated optical tomography.
We apply ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT) to image ex-vivo methylene-blue-dyed sentinel lymph nodes embedded in 3.2-cm-thick chicken breast tissues. The UOT system is implemented for the first time using ring-shaped light illumination, intense acoustic bursts, and charge-coupled device (CCD) camera-based speckle contrast detection. Since the system is noninvasive, nonionizing, port...
متن کاملStochastic explanation of speckle contrast detection in ultrasound-modulated optical tomography.
Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography is an imaging technique that detects ultrasonically tagged light in optically turbid media to obtain images with optical contrast and ultrasonic spatial resolution. A CCD-camera-based speckle contrast detection scheme has been introduced previously to detect modulated light emerging from the ultrasonic sample volume. Differences in speckle contrast were e...
