Gd3+-Functionalized Lithium Niobate Nanoparticles for Dual Multiphoton and Magnetic Resonance Bioimaging

Marinella Mazzanti, Sandrine Gerber, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Katarzyna Pierzchala, Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Jérémy Vuilleumier, Raphaël Jovita De Matos, Laura Camille Louise Nicolle, Adrian Stefan Gheata, Dario Diviani, Luigi Bonacina, Fiorella Lucarini

Harmonic nanoparticles (HNPs) have emerged as appealing exogenous probes for optical bioimaging due to their distinctive features such as long-term photostability and spectral flexibility, allowing multiphoton excitation in the classical (NIR-I) and extend ...

Vascular-targeted micelles as a specific MRI contrast agent for molecular imaging of fibrin clots and cancer cells

Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Aurélien Thomas, Vassily Vorobiev

Molecular medical imaging is intended to increase the accuracy of diagnosis, particularly in cardiovascular and cancer-related diseases, where early detection could significantly increase the treatment success rate. In this study, we present mixed micelles ...

3D reconstruction of weakly scattering objects from 2D intensity-only measurements using the Wolf transform

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim, Elizabeth Elena Antoine, Ahmed Ayoub

A new approach to optical diffraction tomography (ODT) based on intensity measurements is presented. By applying the Wolf transform directly to intensity measurements, we observed unexpected behavior in the 3D reconstruction of the sample. Such a reconstru ...

Adaptive Trade-off between Sensitivity and Spatial Resolution and its Implications for Motion Discrimination and Segregation

Michael Herzog

The success of species depends critically on their ability to process and extract sensory information under a wide range of ecological conditions. For example, on a normal day, the luminance impinging on the retina varies within a dynamic range of 220 dB. ...

User Evaluations of Contrast-Dominant Discomfort Glare Dim Daylit Scenarios: Preliminary Findings

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Geraldine Cai Ting Quek

Discomfort glare metrics typically consider at least one of the two effects of discomfort glare-saturation and contrast-in their equation. The former occurs when there is an excessively bright glare source in the field of view, while the latter occurs when ...

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Quantification: From Kinetic Modeling To Machine Learning

Marcel Arditi

Ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) have opened up immense diagnostic possibilities by combined use of indicator dilution principles and dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US) imaging. UCAs are microbubbles encapsulated in a biocompatible shell. With ...

Brain micro-vasculature imaging: An unsupervised deep learning algorithm for segmenting mouse brain volume probed by high-resolution phase-contrast X-ray tomography

Alessandra Patera, Anne Bonnin, Marco Stampanoni

High-throughput synchrotron-based tomographic microscopy at third generation light sources allows to probe cm-sized samples at micrometer-resolution. In this work, we present an approach to image a full mouse brain. With Indian-ink as a contrast agent, it ...

Near-field phase profile and far-field contrast modulation for micro-lens arrays at the refraction limit

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi, Daniel Necesal

We investigate the far-field pattern generation for a micro-lens array (MLA) illuminated under different conditions. Plane wave and Gaussian beam illumination are considered for an MLA with a small diameter of 27 microns and 30 microns period. At these dim ...

Improved susceptibility-weighted imaging for high contrast and resolution thalamic nuclei mapping at 7T

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Constantin Tuleasca, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Daniel Gallichan, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Elena Najdenovska, Frédéric Gretsch

Purpose The thalamus is an important brain structure and neurosurgical target, but its constituting nuclei are challenging to image non-invasively. Recently, susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) at ultra-high field has shown promising capabilities for tha ...
