Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of retardance for a complete Stokes polarimeter.
Derek Sabatke,Michael R. Descour,Eustace L. Dereniak,William C. Sweatt,Shanalyn A. Kemme,Gary S. Phipps +5 more
TL;DR: Two figures of merit based on singular value decomposition are presented, which can be used to assess the noise immunity of a complete Stokes polarimeter, used to optimize a polarimeter featuring a rotatable retarder and a fixed polarizer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computed-tomography imaging spectrometer: experimental calibration and reconstruction results
TL;DR: A temporally and spatially nonscanning imaging spectrometer is described in terms of computedtomography concepts, specifically the central-slice theorem and experimental results indicate that the instrument performs well in the case of broadband and narrow-band emitters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eye-movement study and human performance using telepathology virtual slides: implications for medical education and differences with experience.
Elizabeth A. Krupinski,Allison A. Tillack,Lynne Richter,Jeffrey T. Henderson,Achyut K. Bhattacharyya,Katherine M. Scott,Anna R. Graham,Michael R. Descour,John R. Davis,Ronald S. Weinstein +9 more
TL;DR: Assessment of eye movements of medical students, pathology residents, and practicing pathologists examining virtual slides on a digital display monitor found that eye movement studies of scanning pathways (scan paths) may be useful for developing eye movement profiles for individuals and for understanding the difference in performances between novices and experts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical systems for in vivo molecular imaging of cancer.
Konstantin V Sokolov,Jesse Aaron,Betsy Hsu,Dawn L. Nida,Ann M. Gillenwater,Michele Follen,Calum MacAulay,Karen Adler-Storthz,Brian A. Korgel,Michael R. Descour,Renata Pasqualini,Wadih Arap,Wan L. Lam,Rebecca Richards-Kortum +13 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive strategy to develop inexpensive, rugged and portable optical imaging systems for molecular imaging of cancer, which couples the development of optically active contrast agents with advances in functional genomics of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Telepathology overview: From concept to implementation
Ronald S. Weinstein,Michael R. Descour,Chen Liang,Achyut K. Bhattacharyya,Anna R. Graham,John R. Davis,Katherine M. Scott,Lynne Richter,Elizabeth A. Krupinski,Janusz Szymus,Klaus Kayser,Bruce E. Dunn +11 more
TL;DR: Three telepathology practice models are discussed: the subspecialty practice (SSP), the case triage practice (CTP) model; and the virtual group practice (VGP), which appears to be following an S-curve for a technical innovation.
