Integration of optical stimulation and high-resolution optical imaging of cardiac tissue
نویسنده
چکیده
We briefly review a recent technological development for simultaneous optical stimulation and optical imaging of activation in cardiac tissue. Such alloptical system for interrogation of cardiac electrophysiology can facilitate the study of arrhythmias and the development of a new generation of optical pacemakers. Key elements in the system included the biological integration of light-sensitive donor cells into cardiac tissue and the use of ultra-high resolution CMOS imaging system for optical mapping of the electrical

متن کاملEngineering of core/shell nanoparticles surface plasmon for increasing of light penetration depth in tissue (modeling and analysis)
Objectives: In this article, a new procedure for increasing the light penetration depth in a tissue is studied and simulated. It has been reported that the most important problem in biomedical optical imaging relates to the light penetration depth, and so this makes a dramatic restriction on its applications. In the optical imaging method, the detection of the backscattered pho...
متن کاملAll‐optical control of cardiac excitation: combined high‐resolution optogenetic actuation and optical mapping
Cardiac tissue is an excitable system that can support complex spatiotemporal dynamics, including instabilities (arrhythmias) with lethal consequences. While over the last two decades optical mapping of excitation (voltage and calcium dynamics) has facilitated the detailed characterization of such arrhythmia events, until recently, no precise tools existed to actively interrogate cardiac dynami...
