Special Section Guest Editorial: Biomedical Imaging and Sensing

Special section guest editorial: Photons plus ultrasound: imaging and sensing.

m: http://biomedicaloptics.spiedigitallibrary.org/ on 05/11/2016 Terms of Use Fig. 1 . As of 2009, this conference has become the largest at SPIE Photonics West. Hybrid modalities such as photoacoustic or optoacoustic tomography can provide deep tissue penetration, high ultrasonic resolution, and speckle-free optical contrast. Applications include in vivo functional and molecular imaging of can...

Guest Editorial Compressive Sensing for Biomedical Imaging

W HILE it is common knowledge that most images can be greatly compressed, compressive sensing (CS) theory has established that such compression can be done during the data acquisition process and then the uncompressed image can be recovered through a computationally tractable optimization procedure such as L1-norm minimization [1]–[4], or greedy algorithms [5]. In the field of biomedical imagin...

Special Section Guest Editorial

In recent years there has been a strong trend to enhance traditional research techniques in neuroscience with opticalbased techniques. The trend is evident on every level of neuroscience research, spatially spanning submicron to centimeters and temporally spanning submillisecond to seconds. Optical techniques are attractive because they enable researchers to study brain function from the smalle...

Guest Editorial for Special Section on Multimodal Biomedical Imaging: Algorithms and Applications

J OINTLY assessing data from multiple modalities is inherent to many problems in science and engineering, but it is especially relevant to the analysis of biomedical imaging data. Technologies for imaging are individually expensive; thus, ways to synergistically derive information from complementary modalities are clearly attractive. Moreover, for instance, since each brain imaging modality is ...
