Electron tomography is a technique used in both materials science and structural biology to image features well below optical resolution limit. In this work, we present a new algorithm for reconstructing the three-dimensional(3D) electrostatic potential of a sample at atomic resolution from phase contrast imaging using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Our method accounts for dynamical and strong phase scattering, providing more accurate results with much lower electron doses than those current atomic electron tomography experiments. We test our algorithm using simulated images of a synthetic needle geometry dataset composed of an amorphous silicon dioxide shell around a silicon core. Our results show that, for a wide range of experimental parameters, we can accurately determine both atomic positions and species, and also identify vacancies even for light elements such as silicon and disordered materials such as amorphous silicon dioxide and also identify vacancies.

We present differential phase-contrast optical coherence tomography (DPC-OCT) with two transversally separated probing beams to sense phase gradients in various directions by employing a rotatable Wollaston prism. In combination with a two-dimensiona l mathe- matical reconstruction algorithm based on a regularized shape from shading (SfS) method accurate quantitative phase maps can be determined from a set of two orthogonal en-face DPC-OCT images, as exemplified on various technical samples.
When x-rays penetrate soft matter, their phase changes more rapidly than their amplitude. In- terference effects visible with high brightness sources creates higher contrast, edge enhanced images. When the object is piecewise smooth (made of big bloc ks of a few components), such higher con- trast datasets have a sparse solution. We apply basis pursuit solvers to improve SNR, remove ring artifacts, reduce the number of views and radiation dose from phase contrast datasets collected at the Hard X-Ray Micro Tomography Beamline at the Advanced Light Source. We report a GPU code for the most computationally intensive task, the gridding and inverse gridding algorithm (non uniform sampled Fourier transform).
Detection of phase variations across optically transparent samples is often a difficult task. We propose and demonstrate a compact, lightweight and low cost quantitative phase contrast imager. Light diffracted from a pinhole is incident on a thick ob ject and the modulated light is collected by an image sensor and the intensity pattern is recorded. Two optical configurations namely lens-based and lensless cases are compared. A modified phase-retrieval algorithm is implemented to extract the phase information of the sample at different axial planes from a single camera shot.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be potentially discovered from abdominal computed tomography (CT) studies under varied clinical scenarios, e.g., fully dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) studies, non-contrast (NC) plus venous phase (VP) abdominal stud ies, or NC-only studies. We develop a flexible three-dimensional deep algorithm, called hetero-phase volumetric detection (HPVD), that can accept any combination of contrast-phase inputs and with adjustable sensitivity depending on the clinical purpose. We trained HPVD on 771 DCE CT scans to detect HCCs and tested on external 164 positives and 206 controls, respectively. We compare performance against six clinical readers, including two radiologists, two hepato-pancreatico-biliary (HPB) surgeons, and two hepatologists. The area under curve (AUC) of the localization receiver operating characteristic (LROC) for NC-only, NC plus VP, and full DCE CT yielded 0.71, 0.81, 0.89 respectively. At a high sensitivity operating point of 80% on DCE CT, HPVD achieved 97% specificity, which is comparable to measured physician performance. We also demonstrate performance improvements over more typical and less flexible non hetero-phase detectors. Thus, we demonstrate that a single deep learning algorithm can be effectively applied to diverse HCC detection clinical scenarios.
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), is a promising medical imaging technique that provides the high contrast of the optical imaging and the resolution of ultrasound (US) imaging. Among all the methods, Three-dimensional (3D) PAI provides a high resolution a nd accuracy. One of the most common algorithms for 3D PA image reconstruction is delay-and-sum (DAS). However, the quality of the reconstructed image obtained from this algorithm is not satisfying, having high level of sidelobes and a wide mainlobe. In this paper, delay-multiply-and-sum (DMAS) algorithm is suggested to overcome these limitations in 3D PAI. It is shown that DMAS algorithm is an appropriate reconstruction technique for 3D PAI and the reconstructed images using this algorithm are improved in the terms of the width of mainlobe and sidelobes, compared to DAS. Also, the quantitative results show that DMAS improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) for about 25 dB and 0.2 mm, respectively, compared to DAS.
