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 […]

Staining-free optical imaging techniques toward digital histopathology Abstract The histological optical imaging is a gold standard method to observe the biological tissues, which follows routine process such as dissection, embedding, sectioning, staining, visualization and interpretation of specimens. This technique has a long history of development, and is used ubiquitously in pathology, despite being highly time […]
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 […]
TIPS & TRICKS TO SUCCESSFUL IRB CLINICAL RESEARCH PROTOCOLS
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% […]
Advancing Photoacoustic Tomography: From benchtop wholebody imagers to wearable devices Abstract This talk will cover the recent development of photoacoustic imaging technology, including a benchtop imager, termed single-impulse panoramic photoacoustic computed tomography (SIP-PACT), and its preclinical applications. SIP-PACT has also been scaled up for breast cancer diagnosis with improved sensitivity and specificity. In addition, to […]
