About University of Houston

University of Houston

University of Houston is a public doctoral/research university located in Houston, Texas. It is the flagship institution and the only doctoral degree-granting university in the University of Houston System, which includes three other universities and two multi-institution teaching centers.  Biomedical Optics Laboratory at the University of Houston is located within the Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Enginnering Department at the University of Houston (UH). The research activities of the laboratory, under the direction of Dr. Kirill Larin, concern the development of new methods for protein biosensing (based on nanooptics) and tissue functional imaging (based on Optical Coherence Tomography).

  3. Imaging of mouse embryonic eye development using optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Mar 2 2010) Ophthalmology

    Imaging of mouse embryonic eye development using optical coherence tomography Congenital abnormalities are often caused by genetic disorders which alter the normal development of the eye. Embryonic eye imaging in mouse model is important for understanding of normal and abnormal eye development and can contribute to prevention and treatment of eye defects in humans. In this study, we used Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography (SS-OCT) to image eye structure in mouse embryos at 12.5 to 17.5 days post coitus (dpc). ... (Read Full Article)

  4. Measurement of vibrations induced on the surface of crystalline eye lens using PhS-SDOCT

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Mar 2 2010) Ophthalmology

    Measurement of vibrations induced on the surface of crystalline eye lens using PhS-SDOCT Experimental assessment of stiffness of crystalline lens of the eye can help in understanding several ocular diseases. Studies have shown that stiffness of the eye lens increases with age that might contribute to loss of accommodation. The stiffness of the lens could be assessed by measuring mechanically induced surface waves propagating on its surface. Here we present preliminary results on phase sensitive spectral domain optical coherence tomography (PhS-SDOCT) measurements of ... (Read Full Article)

  5. Quantification of microbubbles in blood with phase-sensitive SSOCT

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Feb 23 2010)

    Quantification of microbubbles in blood with phase-sensitive SSOCT We have developed a phase stabilized swept source optical coherence tomography (PhS-SSOCT), that shows an axial resolution of 10 µm, phase sensitivity of 0.04 radians, imaging depth of up to 6 mm in air and a scanning speed of 20 kHz for a single A-line. In this paper, the PhS-SSOCT is applied to quantify gas microbubbles in blood in vitro. The results indicate that the system is able to detect ... (Read Full Article)

    Explore Article opticsinfobase.org (Nov 20 2009) Cardiology , Developmental Biology

    Multiple-cardiac-cycle noise reduction in dynamic optical coherence tomography of the embryonic heart and vasculature Recent progress in optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows imaging dynamic structures and fluid flow within scattering tissue, such as the beating heart and blood flow in mouse embryos. Accurate representation and analysis of these dynamic behaviors require reducing the noise of the acquired data. Although noise can be reduced by averaging multiple neighboring pixels in space or time, such operations reduce the effective spatial or temporal resolution that can be ... (Read Full Article)

    The rat has long been considered an excellent system to study mammalian embryonic cardiovascular physiology, but has lacked the extensive genetic tools available in the mouse to be able to create single gene mutations. However, the recent establishment of rat embryonic stem cell lines facilitates the generation of new models in the rat embryo to link changes in physiology with altered gene function to define the underlying mechanisms behind congenital ...
