Incorporation of an ultrasound and model guided permissible region improves quantitative source recovery in bioluminescence tomography
Bioluminescence imaging has shown great potential for studying and monitoring disease progression in small animal pre-clinical imaging. However, absolute bioluminescence source recovery through tomographic multi-wavelength measurements is often hindered through the lack of quantitative accuracy and suffers from both poor localisation and quantitative recovery. In this work a method to incorpora...
متن کاملBioluminescence tomography using eigenvectors expansion and iterative solution for the optimized permissible source region
A reconstruction algorithm for bioluminescence tomography (BLT) has been developed. The algorithm numerically calculates the Green's function at different wavelengths using the diffusion equation and finite element method. The optical properties used in calculating the Green's function are reconstructed using diffuse optical tomography (DOT) and assuming anatomical information is provided by x-...
متن کاملImproved bioluminescence and fluorescence reconstruction algorithms using diffuse optical tomography, normalized data, and optimized selection of the permissible source region
Reconstruction algorithms are presented for two-step solutions of the bioluminescence tomography (BLT) and the fluorescence tomography (FT) problems. In the first step, a continuous wave (cw) diffuse optical tomography (DOT) algorithm is used to reconstruct the tissue optical properties assuming known anatomical information provided by x-ray computed tomography or other methods. Minimization pr...
متن کاملMultispectral Bioluminescence Tomography: Methodology and Simulation
Bioluminescent imaging has proven to be a valuable tool for monitoring physiological and pathological activities at cellular and molecular levels in living small animals. Using biological techniques, target cells can be tagged with reporters encoding several kinds of luciferase enzymes, which generate characteristic photons in a wide spectrum covering the infrared range. Part of the diffused li...
متن کاملHyperspectral and multispectral bioluminescence optical tomography for small animal imaging.
For bioluminescence imaging studies in small animals, it is important to be able to accurately localize the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of the underlying bioluminescent source. The spectrum of light produced by the source that escapes the subject varies with the depth of the emission source because of the wavelength-dependence of the optical properties of tissue. Consequently, multispec...
