Mapping Molecular Agents Distributions in Whole Mice Hearts Using Born-Normalized Optical Projection Tomography
To date there is a lack of tools to map the spatio-temporal dynamics of diverse cells in experimental heart models. Conventional histology is labor intensive with limited coverage, whereas many imaging techniques do not have sufficiently high enough spatial resolution to map cell distributions. We have designed and built a high resolution, dual channel Born-normalized near-infrared fluorescence...
متن کاملBorn Normalization for Fluorescence Optical Projection Tomography for Whole Heart Imaging
Optical projection tomography is a three-dimensional imaging technique that has been recently introduced as an imaging tool primarily in developmental biology and gene expression studies. The technique renders biological sample optically transparent by first dehydrating them and then placing in a mixture of benzyl alcohol and benzyl benzoate in a 2:1 ratio (BABB or Murray s Clear solution). The...
متن کاملGeneration and 3-Dimensional Quantitation of Arterial Lesions in Mice Using Optical Projection Tomography
The generation and analysis of vascular lesions in appropriate animal models is a cornerstone of research into cardiovascular disease, generating important information on the pathogenesis of lesion formation and the action of novel therapies. Use of atherosclerosis-prone mice, surgical methods of lesion induction, and dietary modification has dramatically improved understanding of the mechanism...
متن کاملDual-projection optical diffusion tomography.
We propose a new approach to optical diffusion tomography that incorporates two orthogonal projections. All the data obtained in a double projection measurement are treated simultaneously. The second projection improves image quality due to the fact that the depth and transverse directions are interchanged. An image reconstruction algorithm is derived and illustrated with simulations. It is sho...
متن کاملFluorescence lifetime optical projection tomography.
We describe a quantitative fluorescence projection tomography technique which measures the 3-D fluorescence lifetime distribution in optically cleared specimens up 1 cm in diameter. This is achieved by acquiring a series of wide-field time-gated images at different relative time delays with respect to a train of excitation pulses, at a number of projection angles. For each time delay, the 3-D t...
