Background: EOS is a 2D/3D muscle skeletal diagnostic imaging system. The device has been developed to produce a high quality 2D, full body radiographs in standing, sitting and squatting positions. Three dimensional images can be reconstructed via sterEOS software. This Health Technology Assessment study aimed to investigate efficacy, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of new emerged EOS imag...

Holoscopic 3D imaging is a true 3D imaging system mimics fly’s eye technique to acquire a true 3D optical model of a real scene. To reconstruct the 3D image computationally, an efficient implementation of an Auto-Feature-Edge (AFE) descriptor algorithm is required that provides an individual feature detector for integration of 3D information to locate objects in the scene. The AFE descriptor pl...

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques have been developed in the medical field. In laparoscopic surgery, such techniques are widely used; they provide the surgeon with spatial information and increase the safety of surgical techniques [1–3]. In gastrointestinal endoscopy, Sakata et al. reported the efficacy of 3D imaging for improved detection of colonic lesions using simulated 3D colonosco...

A novel compressive 3D imaging spectrometer based on the coded aperture snapshot spectral imager (CASSI) is proposed. By inserting a microlens array (MLA) into the CASSI system, one can capture spectral data of 3D objects in a single snapshot without requiring 3D scanning. The 3D spatio-spectral sensing phenomena is modelled by computational integral imaging in tandem with compressive coded ape...

The rapid diagnosis of invisible internal injury in an austere and hostile front-line operational environment remains a challenge for (Canadian Forces) medical and search and rescue personnel. The availability of a portable 4D-ultrasound imaging system with a single probe, providing high image resolution and deep penetration, is considered by (civilian) medical practitioners and their military ...

3D diffusion-weighted steady-state free precession imaging (3D DW-SSFP) with isotropic resolution was performed to delineate structures of the human lumbosacral plexus (LSP). 3D DW-SSFP clearly revealed detailed anatomy of the LSP and its branches. Our data suggest that the sequence based on 3D DW-SSFP can be used for high-resolution MR imaging of the peripheral nervous system.

Abstract We characterize a new chaos lidar system configuration and demonstrate its capability for high-speed 3D imaging. Compared with homodyned scheme employing single-element avalanche photodetectors (APDs), the proposed utilizes fiber Bragg grating quadrant APDs to substantially increase throughput, frame rate, field-of-view. By quantitatively analyzing signal-to-noise ratio, peak-to-standa...

The IVIS® SpectrumCT is a powerful and versatile optical imaging platform for small animal imaging in pre-clinical settings. With a relatively small floor footprint, it provides two key optical imaging functionalities: Bioluminescence (BLI) and Fluorescence (FLI). Its advanced optical components, including an ultra-sensitive CCD camera and two full range excitation/emission filter sets, enable ...
