True multi-modality optical molecular imaging – where both modalities interact and work in harmony. Abstract The main goal of the molecular imaging community has been achieving higher resolution and better quantitative accuracy. For nearly two decades, I have been spending effort for the same purpose, mainly integrating optical imaging with anatomic imaging modalities such as […]
A Leadership Toolbox for Operationalizing Innovation at Your Institution Abstract In today’s challenging healthcare environment, the importance of innovation has never been greater. Every healthcare institution anduniversity strive to be innovative, but successful innovative cultures and programs are difficult to create and sustain especially in the busy and fast-paced healthcare settings. Creating an innovative culture […]
Numerical Modeling of Medical Ultrasound Abstract In the last two decades, we have witnessed substantial development in high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for treating a broad spectrum of diseases and medical conditions. As a non invasive surgical modality that can reach deep tissue, HIFU has the potential to revolutionize therapy. Although there are many numerical […]
Ultrathin 3D-printed Imaging Devices Abstract Preclinical studies and clinical diagnostics increasingly rely on optical techniques to visualize internal organs. Miniaturised catheters or endoscopes are necessary for imaging small and/or delicate arteries. However, current lens fabrication methods limit the performance of these ultrathin devices, resulting in a poor combination of resolution, depth of focus and multimodal […]
Cardio-oncology; Cardiovascular diseases in cancer patients Abstract With more advances in cancer therapy, more patients are alive as cancer survivors than a decade ago. However, cardiovascular disease is the number one reason for mortality in these cancer free patients. Beside the conventional risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, radiation and chemotherapy and cancer specific immunotherapy contributes […]
Tunable infrared structured laser generation and opto-thermal trapping of micro/nano particles Abstract This talk covers the experimental research and theoretical investigation of mid-infrared tunable optical vortex sources with versatile orbital angular momentum (OAM) and opto-thermophoretic trapping of micro and nano particles with mid-infrared fiber lasers. As a typical structured light, optical vortex with a helical […]
Deep Learning Applications in Biomedical Imaging Abstract Recently developed deep learning techniques revolutionized image analysis methods in the last decade. Classification, segmentation, quantitative prediction, and generating new data can be performed by the training of deep learning models. These tasks can directly be applied to biomedical imaging and successful applications will provide strong advantages to […]
Light Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease Abstract Photobiomodulation, by utilizing low-power light in the visible or near-infrared spectrum to trigger biological responses in cells and tissues, has been considered as a possible therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), while its specific mechanisms have remained elusive. Here, we provide evidence that cognitive and memory impairment in an […]
Enhancing SFDI’s functionality and performance with state-of-the-art CMOS image sensors Abstract Recently, new CMOS image sensors with high performance and functionalities such as near-infrared-enhanced global shutter, multi-tap pixels for time-division-multiplexing (TDM) or time-resolved (TR) imaging, and multi-aperture (MA) are emerging. At Shizuoka University, TDM, TR, and MA CMOS image sensors are being developed for LiDAR […]
Smartphone-based total body photography of patients with mpox in remote areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Abstract Mpox (associated with clade I monkeypox virus infection) is endemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and manifests with hundreds to thousands of total body lesions and an estimated case fatality ratio of 11% […]
