  6. Investigation of pore structure and cell distribution in EH-PEG hydrogel scaffold using optical coherence tomography and fluorescence microscopy

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Feb 11 2010)

    Investigation of pore structure and cell distribution in EH-PEG hydrogel scaffold using optical coherence tomography and fluorescence microscopy Macroporous EH-PEG hydrogels fabricated by porogen-leaching method are characterized by optical coherence tomography (OCT). High-resolution OCT visualizes the microstructures of the engineered tissue scaffolds in threedimensions. It also enables subsequent image processing to investigate several key morphological design parameters for macroporous scaffolds. Image processing algorithms are then presented to automatically quantify the pore size, porosity, and pore interconnectivity. The results indicated that those parameters highly depend on the porogen size. ... (Read Full Article)

  8. Multi-modality optical tomography for simultaneous morphological and molecular imaging

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Nov 25 2009)

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging medical imaging technology that can generate high resolution cross-sectional imaging (1-2 mm in depth) of tissue microstructure in situ and in real time. Fluorescence imaging provides tissue biochemical, metabolism, and molecular information by measuring fluorescence intensity or spectroscopy of either intrinsic fluorophores or exogenous contrast agents. The combination of these two modalities provides complementary morphological, functional and molecular information to comprehensively assess tissue ... (Read Full Article)

  9. Developmental Aspects of the Upper Airway

    Explore Article pats.atsjournals.org (Sep 10 2009)

    The upper airway serves three important functions: respiration, swallowing, and speech. During development it undergoes significant structural and functional changes that affect its size, shape, and mechanical properties. Abnormalities of the upper airway require prompt attention, because these often alter ventilatory patterns and gas exchange, particularly during sleep when upper airway motor tone and ventilatory drive are diminished. Recognizing the relationship of early life events to lung health and disease, ... (Read Full Article)

    Explore Article opticsinfobase.org (Aug 25 2009)

    Automated quantification of microstructural dimensions of the human kidney using optical coherence tomography (OCT) Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a rapidly emerging imaging modality that can non-invasively provide cross-sectional, highresolution images of tissue morphology in situ and in real-time. We previously demonstrated that OCT is capable of visualizing characteristic kidney anatomic structures, including blood vessels, uriniferous tubules,glomeruli, and renal capsules on a Munich–Wistar rat model. Because the viability of a donor kidney is closely correlated with its tubular morphology, and a large amount of ... (Read Full Article)

    Respiratory gating of anatomical optical coherence tomography images of the human airway Anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT) is a longrange endoscopic imaging modality capable of quantifying size and shape of the human airway. A challenge to its in vivo application is motion artifact due to respiratory-related movement of the airway walls. This paper represents the first demonstration of respiratory gating of aOCT airway data, and introduces a novel error measure to guide appropriate parameter selection. Results indicate that at least four gates ... (Read Full Article)

    Background: The radial artery's (RA) tendency to spasm when used as a bypass graft may relate to features of the RA itself. We imaged RA conduits before and after CABG in order to characterize intimal abnormalities that might relate to the risk of spasm.Methods: RA conduits from thirty-two CABG patients were imaged intraoperatively using catheter-based optical coherence tomography (OCT) and again on day 5 using 64-channel MDCT angiography. The change ... (Read Full Article)

  15. Combining optical coherence tomography with fluorescence molecular imaging: towards simultaneous morphology and molecular imaging

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Feb 24 2009)

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high-resolution, cross-sectional imaging of tissue microstructure in situ and in real-time, while fluorescence molecular imaging (FMI) enables the visualization of basic molecular processes. There are great interests in combining these two modalities so that the tissue's structural and molecular information can be obtained simultaneously. This could greatly benefit biomedical applications such as detecting early diseases and monitoring therapeutic interventions. In this research, a new optical ... (Read Full Article)

    Explore Article ScienceDirect (Dec 12 2008)

    Optical intrinsic signal imaging (OISI) provides two-dimensional, depth-integrated activation maps of brain activity. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides depth-resolved, cross-sectional images of functional brain activation. Co-registered OCT and OISI imaging was performed simultaneously on the rat somatosensory cortex through a thinned skull during forepaw electrical stimulation. Fractional signal change measurements made by OCT revealed a functional signal that correlates well with that of the intrinsic hemodynamic signals and provides depth-resolved, ...
