Axially shifted pattern illumination for macroscale turbidity suppression and virtual volumetric confocal imaging without axial scanning.

Structured illumination has been widely used for optical sectioning and 3D surface recovery. In a typical implementation, multiple images under non-uniform pattern illumination are used to recover a single object section. Axial scanning of the sample or the objective lens is needed for acquiring the 3D volumetric data.

A Review of Cerebral Shunts, Current Technologies, and Future Endeavors.

. The use of cerebrospinal shunts is the standard of care for hydrocephalus. However, shunts are extremely vulnerable to failure and lack noninvasive methods to monitor their viability.
