Whole-body three-dimensional optoacoustic tomography system for small animals

TL;DR: A system for three-dimensional whole-body optoacoustic tomography of small animals for applications in preclinical research and capable of generating images of individual organs and blood vessels through the entire body of a mouse with spatial resolution of approximately 0.5 mm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Light transport in biological tissue based on the simplified spherical harmonics equations

TL;DR: It is concluded that the simplified spherical harmonics methods can accurately model light propagation in small tissue geometries at visible and near-infrared wavelengths, yielding transport-like solutions with only a fraction of the computational cost of the transport calculation.

Diffuse optical correlation tomography of cerebral blood flow during cortical spreading depression in rat brain.

TL;DR: The image reconstruction was optimized using a noise model for diffuse correlation tomography which enabled better data selection and regularization in 3D tomography of cerebral blood flow in small animal models.

Optical tomography in medical imaging

TL;DR: A review of methods for the forward and inverse problems in optical tomography can be found in this paper, where the authors focus on the highly scattering case found in applications in medical imaging, and to the problem of absorption and scattering reconstruction.

Time resolved reflectance and transmittance for the non-invasive measurement of tissue optical properties.

TL;DR: A simple model is developed, based on the diffusion approximation to radiative transfer theory, which yields analytic expressions for the pulse shape in terms of the interaction coefficients of a homogeneous slab.

Fluorescence imaging with near-infrared light: new technological advances that enable in vivo molecular imaging.

TL;DR: FMT, a technique that can three-dimensionally image gene expression by resolving fluorescence activation in deep tissues by focusing on optical imaging technologies used for non-invasive imaging of the distribution of such probes, is discussed.

Characterization of the near infrared absorption spectra of cytochrome aa3 and haemoglobin for the non-invasive monitoring of cerebral oxygenation.

TL;DR: The cytochrome aa3 spectrum in vivo from the brains of rats after replacing the blood with a fluorocarbon substitute is obtained and an algorithm for calculating the changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin and oxygenated cy tochrome a a3 in tissue from changes in near IR absorption is constructed.
