Abstract:

A method for photomagnetic imaging of tissue includes the steps of heating the tissue using light; measuring a change in temperature of the tissue with magnetic resonance thermometry; and creating an optical property map from the measured change in temperature. An apparatus for performing photomagnetic imaging of tissue which includes a light source to heat the tissue, a magnetic resonance imaging system to measure a change in temperature of the tissue, and a data processor to generate an optical property map from the measured change in temperature. An optical property map of tissue photomagnetic imaging of tissue produced by: heating the tissue using light; measuring a change in temperature of the tissue with magnetic resonance thermometry; and creating an optical property map from the measured change in temperature.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

424 96, 600476, 600431

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure relate to fluorescence imaging, and more particularly to the use of temperature modulation in a tissue site with a modulator such as high intensity focused ultrasound to modulate the emission signal emitted by temperature-sensitive optical fluorescence reporters.

International Classification:

A61B 6/02

US Classification:

600427

Abstract:

An apparatus for providing an integrated tri-modality system includes a fluorescence tomography subsystem (FT), a diffuse optical tomography subsystem (DOT), and an x-ray tomography subsystem (XCT), where each subsystem is combined in the integrated tri-modality system to perform quantitative fluorescence tomography with the fluorescence tomography subsystem (FT) using multimodality imaging with the x-ray tomography subsystem (XCT) providing XCT anatomical information as structural a priori data to the integrated tri-modality system, while the diffuse optical tomography subsystem (DOT) provides optical background heterogeneity information from DOT measurements to the integrated tri-modality system as functional a priori data. A method includes using FT, DOT, and XCT in an integrated fashion wherein DOT data is acquired to recover the optical property of the whole medium to accurately describe photon propagation in tissue, where structural limitations are derived from XCT, and accurate fluorescence concentration and lifetime parameters are recovered to form an accurate image.

Abstract:

Methods, systems and computer-readable storage media relate to determining respiratory motion from motion data of a target to be treated. The methods may include processing motion data of a target to be treated obtained from at least one marker for at least one period. Each period including a plurality of time intervals. The processing including processing the motion data to determine an isocenter for each time interval along at least one of a plurality of axes of motion. The method may include determining at least one component of the motion data in at least one axis, the at least component corresponding to a subset of the motion data having a discrete value and/or a range of values; and determining respiratory motion from at least one component of the motion data. Radiotherapy treatment can be improved by determining the respiratory motion and the impact of respiration of a target.
