High-resolution strain imaging

High-resolution infrared imaging

The hands and mind of an artist are intimately involved in the creative process of image formation, intrinsically making paintings significantly more complex than photographs to analyze. In spite of this difficulty, several years ago the artist David Hockney and I identified optical evidence within a number of paintings that demonstrated artists began using optical projections as early as c1425...

High-Resolution Cortical Imaging

Structure of the cortex The adult cerebral cortex is a complex convoluted multilayered structure averaging around 2.3mm thick, but thinner (≤ 2mm) in the depths of the sulcal folds and thicker (3-4mm) at the crown of the gyri. It is typically divided into 6 layers depending upon the constituent cell types. On examination a section of the cortex, it is seen to consist of alternating white and gr...

Dynamic resolution selection in ultrasonic strain imaging.

Ultrasonic strain imaging promises to be a valuable tool in medical diagnostics. Reliability and ease-of-use have become important considerations. These depend on selection of appropriate imaging parameters. Two tasks are undertaken here. The tradeoff between resolution and estimation precision is examined closely to establish models for the relationships with imaging parameters and data proper...
