The use of pulsed fields in a standard manual sequencing set-up results in the separation of > 2 kb on a single gel, as compared to 300-400 bases with a dc field. However, visual reading of the sequence from a film exposed to a pulsed-field gel is not possible for more than 800-900 bases under the best conditions. The use of image reconstruction and enhancement techniques allows the reading of the M13mp18 sequence to > 1 kb, and individual bands can be identified at > 2 kb.

A CONVEX COMPRESSIBILITY-INSPIRED UNSUPERVISED LOSS FUNCTION FOR PHYSICS-DRIVEN DEEP LEARNING RECONSTRUCTION.
Proc IEEE Int Symp Biomed Imaging
May 2024
Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
Physics-driven deep learning (PD-DL) methods have gained popularity for improved reconstruction of fast MRI scans. Though supervised learning has been used in early works, there has been a recent interest in unsupervised learning methods for training PD-DL. In this work, we take inspiration from statistical image processing and compressed sensing (CS), and propose a novel convex loss function as an alternative learning strategy.

3D measurement for endoscopic systems has been largely demanded. One promising approach is to utilize active-stereo systems using a micro-sized pattern-projector attached to the head of an endoscope. Furthermore, a multi-frame integration is also desired to enlarge the reconstructed area.

Significance: The spatial distribution of the photosensitizing drug concentration is an important parameter for predicting the photodynamic therapy (PDT) outcome. Current diffuse fluorescence tomography methods lack accuracy in quantifying drug concentration. The development of accurate methods for monitoring the temporal evolution of the drug distribution in tissue can advance the real-time light dosimetry in PDT of tumors, leading to better treatment outcomes.

J Biomed Opt
January 2025
University of Maryland, Department of Bioengineering, College Park, Maryland, United States.
Significance: Laparoscopic surgery is generally unavailable in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to the high cost of installation and lack of qualified personnel to maintain and repair equipment. We developed a low-cost, durable, reusable laparoscopic system, called the KeyScope laparoscope, for use in LMICs. To reliably build and service the KeyScope in LMICs, a portable testing chamber (PTC) is needed to assess image performance.

Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, University Medical Centre Mannheim.
Purpose: Computed tomography (CT) is crucial in oncologic imaging for precise diagnosis and staging. Beam-hardening artifacts from contrast media in the superior vena cava can degrade image quality and obscure adjacent structures, complicating lymph node assessment. This study examines the use of virtual monoenergetic reconstruction with photon-counting detector CT (photon-counting CT) to mitigate these artifacts.
