Bildgebung initialer Kariesläsionen mit optischer KohärenztomografieTetschke, Florian 27 May 2020 (has links)
Auf Basis der vorgestellten Untersuchungen lässt sich ein großes Potenzial der OCT für die Erkennung initialer Kariesstadien sowie für die Darstellung der dentalen Mikrostruktur ableiten. Die eingeführte Depolarisationsbildgebung stellt dabei eine Erweiterung bisheriger OCT-basierter Ansätze dar und wurde im Rahmen dieser Arbeit erstmalig für die Anwendung am Zahn präsentiert. Darüber hinaus bilden die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen die Grundlage für die Entwicklung weiterer Prototypen für die intraorale OCT-Bildgebung, die zukünftig eine vielversprechende Ergänzung zu klinisch etablierten Verfahren bei der Diagnostik der Approximalbereiche und
Okklusalflächen darstellen könnte.

A time domain optical coherence tomograph for laboratory investigations on phantoms and human skin / Utveckling av en tidsupplöst optisk koherenstomograf för undersökning av fantom och hudFreiberger, Manuel January 2005 (has links)
<p>Optical coherence tomography is an imaging modality with an outstanding resolution. During the project, a time domain OCT system based on a Michelson fibre interferometer was implemented and put into operation. A super-luminescent diode with a centre wavelength of 1295nm and a bandwidth of 45nm was selected as light source and a linear variable delay line as reference. Basic tests were made on phantoms constructed of filter foils and on gel-like agar slices with optical properties similar to human tissue. It was shown that the achievable resolution was at least 36um and can be increased. The system can easily be enhanced to create two-dimensional images.</p> / <p>Optische Kohärenztomographie ist ein bildgebendes Verfahren mit einer hervorragenden räumlichen Auflösung.

Contributions to the characterization of grating-based x-ray phase-contrast imagingChabior, Michael 28 December 2011 (has links) (PDF)
In this work, a characterization and optimization of the grating-based x-ray imaging technique is presented. The investigations are introduced by analytical considerations, are underpinned with numerical simulations and validated using exemplary experiments. A detailed examination of the image formation in a grating interferometer is given, highlighting the dependence of the measured signal on the profile of the gratings. Subsequently, it is shown analytically and in experiments that grating-based imaging can be performed using three basic grating arrangements, which differ in their requirements on grating fabrication and experimental implementation. By a characterization of the measurement signal for each arrangement, a dependence of the signal strength on the sample position within the interferometer is identified. The consecutive evaluation of the impact of this position dependence on radiographic and tomographic data leads to the derivation of optimized reconstruction algorithms and to a correction of resulting image artifacts. Additionally, it is shown that the simultaneous measurement of attenuation and phase images allows the determination of the atomic number of the sample, opening new possibilities for material discrimination. Apart from these investigations on the contrast formation, various imperfections of the technique are investigated: The properties of the image noise are examined in a detailed statistical analysis, yielding a fundamental understanding of the signal-to-noise behavior of the three available contrast channels. Additionally, beam-hardening artifacts at polychromatic x-ray sources are investigated and their correction by a linearization approach is resented.
By a subsequent analysis of the influence of various different grating imperfections on the image quality, tolerance limits for grating fabrication are specified. Furthermore, analytical considerations show that gratings with a duty cycle of 1/3 are advantageous with respect to the signal-to-noise ratio in comparison to common gratings with a duty cycle of 1/2. In conclusion, the results, concepts and methods developed in this work broaden the understanding of grating-based x-ray imaging and constitute a step forward towards the practical implementations of the technique in imaging applications.

Biodegradable fiducial markers for X-ray imaging: soft tissue integration and biocompatibilityGórecka, Źaneta, Teichmann, Juliane, Nitschke, Mirko, Chlanda, Adrian, Choińska, Emilia, Werner, Carsten, Święszkowski, Wojciech 07 January 2020 (has links)
This study aims at the development of materials for biodegradable fiducial markers for X-ray based medical imaging and their anchorage in soft tissue. Towards this goal a degradable polymer matrix of poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (P[LAcoCL]) was combined with barium sulfate (BaSO₄) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) as radio-opaque fillers. Low pressure plasma treatment was applied to the composite materials to improve cell adhesion and subsequent tissue integration. In particular, the effects of oxygen and ammonia plasmas were evaluated and compared using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and dynamic water contact angle measurements as well as in vitro studies using the murine fibroblast cell line L929. To exclude the cytotoxic effects of degradation products of P[LAcoCL] and released BaSO₄ or HAp cytotoxicity assays with the degradation products of the composite materials were conducted. The results obtained by this broad range of analytical techniques suggest the application of composites of P[LAcoCL] with BaSO₄ and HAp as promising material systems for innovative fiducial markers for soft tissue in X-ray based medical imaging.
