The weak signal strength of Raman imaging leads to long imaging times. To increase the speed of Raman imaging, line scanning and compressed Raman imaging methods have been proposed. Here we combine both line scanning and compressed sensing to further increase the speed. However, the direct combination leads to poor reconstruction results due to the missed coverage of the sample. To avoid this issue, "full-coverage" Compressed Line-scan Raman Imaging (FC-CLRI) is proposed, where line positions are random but constrained to measure each line position of the sample at least once. In proof-of-concept studies of polymer beads and yeast cells, FC-CLRI achieved reasonable image quality while making only 20-40% of the measurements of a fully-sampled line-scan image, achieving 640 μm FOV imaging in <2 min with 1.5 mW μm laser power. Furthermore, we critically evaluate the CLRI method through comparison with simple downsampling, and have found that FC-CLRI preserves spatial resolution better while naïve downsampling provides an overall higher image quality for complex samples.

Broadband CARS is a coherent Raman scattering technique that provides access to the full biological vibrational spectrum within milliseconds, facilitating the recording of widefield hyperspectral Raman images. In this work, BCARS hyperspectral images of unstained cells from two different cell lines of immune lineage (T cell [Jurkat] and pDCs [CAL-1]) were recorded and analyzed using multivariate statistical algorithms in order to determine the spectral differences between the cells. A classifier was trained which could distinguish the known cells with a 97% out-of-bag accuracy.

Purpose: We analyzed the additional value of systematic biopsy (SB) to MR-Ultrasound fusion biopsy (MRgFbx) for detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), as increased sampling may cause increased morbidity.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study cohort was comprised of 1229 biopsy sessions between July 2016 and May 2020 in men who had a Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADSv2) category ≥ 3 lesion on 3 Tesla multiparametric MRI (3TmpMRI) and subsequent combined biopsy (CB; MRgFbx and SB) for suspected prostate cancer (PCa). Cancer detection rates (CDR) were calculated for CB, MRgFbx and SB in the study cohort and sub-cohorts stratified by biopsy history and PI-RADSv2 category.

We have successfully prepared a significant number of nanowires from non-toxic silicon sources. Compared to the SiO silicon source used in most other articles, our preparation method is much safer. It provides a simple and harmless new preparation method for the preparation of silicon nanowires.

Super-resolution imaging of cell metabolism is hindered by the incompatibility of small metabolites with fluorescent dyes and the limited resolution of imaging mass spectrometry. We present ultrasensitive reweighted visible stimulated Raman scattering (URV-SRS), a label-free vibrational imaging technique for multiplexed nanoscopy of intracellular metabolites. We developed a visible SRS microscope with extensive pulse chirping to improve the detection limit to ~4,000 molecules and introduced a self-supervised multi-agent denoiser to suppress non-independent noise in SRS by over 7.

Lung cancer with heterogeneity has a high mortality rate due to its late-stage detection and chemotherapy resistance. Liquid biopsy that discriminates tumor-related biomarkers in body fluids has emerged as an attractive technique for early-stage and accurate diagnosis. Exosomes, carrying membrane and cytosolic information from original tumor cells, impart themselves endogeneity and heterogeneity, which offer extensive and unique advantages in the field of liquid biopsy for cancer differential diagnosis.
