Superimposed Wavefront Imaging of Diffraction-enhanced X-rays: sparsity-aware CT reconstruction from limited-view projections.
Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg
December 2024
High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-0801, Japan.
Purpose: In this paper, we describe an algebraic reconstruction algorithm with a total variation regularization (ART + TV) based on the Superimposed Wavefront Imaging of Diffraction-enhanced X-rays (SWIDeX) method to effectively reduce the number of projections required for differential phase-contrast CT reconstruction.
Methods: SWIDeX is a technique that uses a Laue-case Si analyzer with closely spaced scintillator to generate second derivative phase-contrast images with high contrast of a subject. When the projections obtained by this technique are reconstructed, a Laplacian phase-contrast tomographic image with higher sparsity than the original physical distribution of the subject can be obtained.

Article Synopsis
- Phase-contrast computed tomography (CT) using synchrotron-generated x-rays allows for high-contrast, 3D imaging of soft tissues, but traditional methods suffer from spatial resolution issues due to the required distance between the specimen and the x-ray camera.
- The new technique, Superimposed Wavefront Imaging of Diffraction-enhanced x-rays (SWIDeX), uses a unique setup to eliminate this distance, resulting in superior spatial resolution compared to conventional methods.
- The effectiveness of SWIDeX was demonstrated by visualizing internal structures of various human tissues, which showed clearer 3D images when compared to traditional pathological techniques.
Efficacy of estimations of Hartmann-Shack sensors in small pupil sizes.
Saudi J Ophthalmol
August 2023
Department of Ophthalmology, Miguel Servet University Hospital, Zaragoza, Spain.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the estimations of wavefront analyzers using Hartmann-Shack technology to measure optical aberrations when the pupil size is smaller than the evaluated pupil area.
Methods: Patients implanted with the monofocal ZCB00 intraocular lens (Johnson and Johnson) were examined with the KR-1W Wavefront Analyzer (Topcon) without pharmacological mydriasis and with it afterward. Optical aberrations were analyzed considering a 4-mm pupil and a 6-mm pupil for both examinations.
Retinal Image Quality Through an Operating Microscope With Wavefront Shaping Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lens in Model Eye.
Am J Ophthalmol
September 2024
From the Kyorin Eye Center (MI, YI, TK), Kyorin University School of Medicine, Mitaka, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: To compare the quality of images of gratings placed in a model eye viewed through an extended depth of focus (EDoF) intraocular lens (IOL) to that of diffractive bifocal IOL or monofocal IOL.
Design: Experimental laboratory investigation.
Methods: Nondiffractive wavefront shaping EDoF (CNAET0, Alcon Laboratories), echelette-designed EDoF (ZXR00V, Johnson & Johnson Vision), diffractive bifocal IOL with low power addition (SV25T, Alcon Laboratories), or monofocal IOL (CNA0T0, Alcon Laboratories) was placed in a fluid-filled model eye.

To explore the effects of different types of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation on patient's visual quality and function after phacoemulsification. The clinical data of patients with monocular cataract who underwent phacoemulsification in the Department of Ophthalmology, People's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University between December 2021 and May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the types of IOL, the patients were divided into monofocal group, bifocal group and depth of focus extension group.
