Digital imaging standards and system interoperability.

Abstract

Standards development in medical imaging originated in the field of radiology and has rapidly spread to numerous other medical specialties. Pathology is well represented in this effort, and it benefits from interoperability made possible by the utilization of the DICOM 3.0 standard in the fabrication of pathology workstations. Because there currently exists a strong trend for both standards convergence and international harmonization, the formation of a world-wide electronic medical image standard is likely only several years away.

Fluorescence lifetime spectroscopic imaging with measurements of photon migration.

Frequency-domain measurements of photon migration are coupled with a model of fluorescence generation and propagation in order to develop a method for reconstructing maps of fluorescent properties within interior tissue volumes from exterior measurements at the air-tissue interface. Simulation results confirm the feasibility of optical imaging through the use of exogenously administered contrast agents on the basis of fluorophore decay kinetics and yield. Experimental measurements using single-pixel and multipixel devices illustrate that the contrast owing to exogenous fluorescence exceeds that owing to absorption or scattering caused by endogenous chromophores or tissue structure and owing to absorption caused by exogenous contrast agents.
