Download or read book Optical Coherence Tomography and Its Non medical Applications written by Michael Wang and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a promising non-invasive non-contact 3D imaging technique that can be used to evaluate and inspect material surfaces, multilayer polymer films, fiber coils, and coatings. OCT can be used for the examination of cultural heritage objects and 3D imaging of microstructures. With subsurface 3D fingerprint imaging capability, OCT could be a valuable tool for enhancing security in biometric applications. OCT can also be used for the evaluation of fastener flushness for improving aerodynamic performance of high-speed aircraft. More and more OCT non-medical applications are emerging. In this book, we present some recent advancements in OCT technology and non-medical applications.

Download or read book Image Processing in Optical Coherence Tomography Using Matlab written by Robert Koprowski and published by Robert Koprowski. This book was released on 2011 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the results of the creation of methods for ophthalmologists support in OCT images automated analysis. These methods, like the application developed on their basis, are used during routine examinations carried out in hospital. The monograph comprises proposals of new and also of known algorithms, modified by authors, for image analysis and processing, presented on the basis of example of Matlab environment with Image Processing tools. The results are not only obtained fully automatically, but also repeatable, providing doctors with quantitative information on the degree of pathology occurring in the patient. In this case the anterior and posterior eye segment is analysed, e.g. the measurement of the filtration angle or individual layers thickness. To introduce the Readers to subtleties related to the implementation of selected fragments of algorithms, the notation of some of them in the Matlab environment has been given. The presented source code is shown only in the form of example of implementable selected algorithm. In no way we impose here the method of resolution on the Reader and we only provide the confirmation of a possibility of its practical implementation.

Download or read book Development of a Multi channel Visible light Optical Coherence Tomography Platform for Investigating Fibrotic Disease Using Optical Scattering written by Ryan Niemeier and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical imaging and microscopy provide multi-dimensional information in both the laboratory and clinical settings. Novel imaging methods have leveraged several contrast sources in order to provide both qualitative and quantitative metrics. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a volumetric, micro-scale imaging modality which draws intrinsic contrast from the optical scattering of tissue. Visible-light OCT (VIS-OCT) increases the scattering contrast and is ideal for imaging thin layers of tissue with subtle changes to the optical scattering. The work contained in this dissertation is a modification of VIS-OCT to utilize simultaneous acquisition of multiple channels. Multi-channel VIS-OCT is capable of noise reduction, polarization sensitivity, and quantifying tissue optical scattering. The multi-channel system was used in several imaging applications with relevance to translational medical care and bench-top research. The system was used to image the optical scattering changes in esophageal tissue before and after microwave ablation. Measurements of optical scattering helped to identify the boundaries of the ablation which can provide valuable information both during treatment and for microwave and radiofrequency ablation antenna design. By adding polarization channels, multi-channel VIS-OCT was capable of measuring birefringence in a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis which is being used to test novel therapeutics for lung disease. Finally, a variation of this OCT system was developed to be used in a multi-modal system which combines and co-registers several other imaging modalities and is well-suited to study fibrosis in glaucoma and cancer. The sensitivity of this VIS-OCT system to optical scattering and polarization effects make it a valuable tool with which to study fibrosis. This dissertation describes the framework of this platform and several utilities which in future work will incorporate a lens-free probe for cost-effective in vivo imaging and other bench-top variations will enable higher resolution imaging capable of capturing dynamic processes in live cells.

Download or read book Medical Image Analysis and Informatics written by Paulo Mazzoncini de Azevedo-Marques and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the development of rapidly increasing medical imaging modalities and their applications, the need for computers and computing in image generation, processing, visualization, archival, transmission, modeling, and analysis has grown substantially. Computers are being integrated into almost every medical imaging system. Medical Image Analysis and Informatics demonstrates how quantitative analysis becomes possible by the application of computational procedures to medical images. Furthermore, it shows how quantitative and objective analysis facilitated by medical image informatics, CBIR, and CAD could lead to improved diagnosis by physicians. Whereas CAD has become a part of the clinical workflow in the detection of breast cancer with mammograms, it is not yet established in other applications. CBIR is an alternative and complementary approach for image retrieval based on measures derived from images, which could also facilitate CAD. This book shows how digital image processing techniques can assist in quantitative analysis of medical images, how pattern recognition and classification techniques can facilitate CAD, and how CAD systems can assist in achieving efficient diagnosis, in designing optimal treatment protocols, in analyzing the effects of or response to treatment, and in clinical management of various conditions. The book affirms that medical imaging, medical image analysis, medical image informatics, CBIR, and CAD are proven as well as essential techniques for health care.
