Three-dimensional optical-tomographic dynamic imaging of small tissue volumes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a system for acquiring three-dimensional dynamic images of small tissue volumes. As a first example we explored the real-time response of changes in optical properties inside a human finger caused by partial occlusion of distal veins. 2002 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (170.0170) Medical optics and biotechnology, (110.0110) Imaging systems, (110.6960) Tomography

Iterative boundary method for diffuse optical tomography.
The recent application of tomographic methods to three-dimensional imaging through tissue by use of light often requires modeling of geometrically complex diffuse-nondiffuse boundaries at the tissue-air interface. We have recently investigated analytical methods to model complex boundaries by means of the Kirchhoff approximation. We generalize this approach using an analytical approximation, th...
متن کاملMicroscopic Optical Projection Tomography In Vivo
We describe a versatile optical projection tomography system for rapid three-dimensional imaging of microscopic specimens in vivo. Our tomographic setup eliminates the in xy and z strongly asymmetric resolution, resulting from optical sectioning in conventional confocal microscopy. It allows for robust, high resolution fluorescence as well as absorption imaging of live transparent invertebrate ...
متن کاملFluorescence-enhanced optical imaging in large tissue volumes using a gain-modulated ICCD camera.
A novel image-intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) imaging system has been developed to perform 3D fluorescence tomographic imaging in the frequency-domain using near-infrared contrast agents. The imager is unique since it (i) employs a large tissue-mimicking phantom, which is shaped and sized to resemble a female breast and part of the extended chest-wall region, and (ii) enables rapid dat...
متن کاملFull-color three-dimensional microscopy by wide-field optical coherence tomography.
We demonstrate a method of optical tomography for surface and sub-surface imaging of biological tissues, based on the principle of wide field optical coherence tomography and capable of providing full-color three-dimensional views of a tissue structure. Contour or tomographic images are obtained with an interferometric imaging system using broadband light sources. The interferometric images are...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional and 3-dimensional optical coherence tomographic imaging of the airway, lung, and pleura.
BACKGROUND Methods for obtaining real-time in vivo histologic resolution by means of noninvasive endoscopic optical imaging would be a major advance for thoracic surgical diagnostics and treatment. Optical coherence tomography is a rapidly evolving technology based on near-infrared interferometry that might provide these capabilities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility ...
