Abstract

Multiwavelength photo-magnetic imaging (PMI) is a novel combination of diffuse optics and magnetic resonance imaging, to the best of our knowledge, that yields tissue chromophore concentration maps with high resolution and quantitative accuracy. Here, we present the first experimental results, to the best of our knowledge, obtained using a spectrally constrained PMI image reconstruction method, where chromophore concentration maps are directly recovered, unlike the conventional two-step approach that requires an intermediate step of reconstructing wavelength-dependent absorption coefficient maps. The imposition of the prior spectral information into the PMI inverse problem improves the reconstructed image quality and allows recovery of highly quantitative concentration maps, which are crucial for effective cancer detection and characterization. The obtained results demonstrate the higher performance of the direct reconstruction method. Indeed, the reconstructed concentration maps are not only of higher quality but also obtained approximately 2 times faster than the conventional method.

Abstract

Background and objectives In photothermal therapy, cancerous tissue is treated by the heat generated from absorbed light energy. For effective photothermal therapy, the parameters affecting the induced temperature should be determined before the treatment by modeling the increase in temperature via numerical simulations. However, accurate simulations can only be achieved when utilizing the accurate optical, thermal, and physiological properties of the treated tissue. Here, we propose a multi-wavelength photo-magnetic imaging (PMI) technique that provides quantitative and spatially resolved tissue optical absorption maps at any wavelength within the near-infrared (NIR) window to assist accurate photothermal therapy planning. Study design/materials and methods The study was conducted using our recently developed multi-wavelength PMI system, which operates at four laser wavelengths (760, 808, 860, and 980 nm). An agar tissue-simulating phantom containing water, lipid, and ink was illuminated using these wavelengths, and the slight internal laser-induced temperature rise was measured using magnetic resonance thermometry (MRT). The phantom optical absorption was recovered at the used wavelengths using our dedicated PMI image reconstruction algorithm. These absorption maps were then used to resolve the concentration of the tissue chromophores, and thus deduce its optical absorption spectrum in the NIR region based on the Beer-Lambert law. Results The optical absorption of the phantom was successfully recovered at the used four wavelengths with an average error of ~1.9%. The recovered absorption coefficient was then used to simulate temperature variations inside the phantom. A comparison between the modeled temperature maps and the MRT measured ones showed that these maps are in a good agreement with an average pseudo R2 statistic of 0.992. These absorption values were used to successfully recover the concentration of the used chromophores. Finally, these concentrations are used to accurately calculate the total absorption spectrum of the phantom in the NIR spectral window with an average error as low as ~2.3%. Conclusions Multi-wavelength PMI demonstrated a great ability to assess the distribution of tissue chromophores, thus providing its total absorption at any wavelength within the NIR spectral range. Therefore, applications of photothermal therapy applied at NIR wavelengths can benefit from the absorption spectrum recovered by PMI to determine important parameters such as laser power as well as the laser exposure time needed to attain a specific increase in temperature prior to treatment.

Abstract

High scattering in biological tissues severely degrades the spatial resolution of optical fluorescence imaging in thick tissue. As one of the most sensitive in vivo molecular imaging modalities, Fluorescence Tomography plays an essential role in preclinical studies. To overcome the limitations of FT, we introduced a novel method termed, temperature modulated fluorescence tomography (TMFT). TMFT is based on two key elements: 1) temperature sensitive fluorescent agent (ThermoDots) and 2) high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). TMFT localizes the position of the fluorescent ThermoDots by scanning a HIFU beam across the tissue while monitoring the variation in the measured fluorescence signals. Actually, a binary mask is built by monitoring the sudden jumps in the fluorescence signal corresponding to the HIFU scan over a position containing ThermoDots. This binary map is used as functional a priori during the FT image reconstruction process. TMFT not only allowed us to resolve ThermoDots with high spatial resolution (~1.3 mm), deep in tissue (~ 60 mm) but with high quantitative accuracy as well (< 3% error). In this paper, we present the latest prototype of TMFT. Here, the fluorescence signals are acquired using a CCD camera, which increases the sensitivity of the system compared to the previous fiber-based system.

Abstract

Although diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is able to obtain valuable functional information, its routine use in clinic is hampered by its poor spatial resolution and quantitative accuracy. Previously, our team introduced Photo-Magnetic Imaging (PMI) to overcome the limitation of DOT. PMI is a hybrid modality that synergistically utilizes optics and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). While illuminating the imaged medium by near-infrared laser, the induced internal temperature increase is measured using Magnetic Resonance Thermometry (MRT). Using these MRT maps, optical absorption maps at the laser's wavelength can be recovered using the dedicated PMI image reconstruction algorithm. In this paper, we present the result of the first validation simulation study of multi-wavelength PMI that utilizes five different laser wavelengths ranging between 760 and 980 nm. Using the high resolution wavelength specific absorption maps, PMI successfully recovered the concentration of three dyes, used as chromophore in the composition of our phantom, with high spatial resolution and quantitative accuracy. By providing functional information at high resolution, multi-wavelength PMI will be a valuable tool for monitoring tissue physiology, cancer detection and monitoring.

Abstract

Photothermal therapy (PIT) is a minimally invasive alternative to conventional surgery and can provide faster recovery times as well as reduction in complication rates. Successfully targeting of gold nanoparticles to the tumor increases its light absorption leading to more important temperature rise in the tumor than surrounding tissue. Hence, it is possible to heat tumor with a minimal damage to the surrounding tissue only if the appropriate laser parameters are employed. In this study, our purpose is to develop a simulation tool capable of determining temperature rise and duration in the tissue for therapy planning. This simulation tool is based on a new analytical approach which models laser-induced temperature in a two-layered medium mimicking concentric tumor and its surrounding healthy tissue. First, the diffusion equation is used to model the light propagation in tissue and then a comprehensive solution is derived by obtaining a special Greens' function. Next, the Pennes' bioheat equation is analytically solved for a source term defined as the product of local optical absorption and the solution of the diffusion equation. Our approach is validated by comparing the spatiotemporal temperature distribution obtained by our method, finite element method, and experimental studies, respectively. The obtained results are in very good agreement with an average R-squared of 0.953. This analytical approach can provide a suitable and fast platform for modeling laser-induced temperature distribution for thermal therapy applications. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Photo-magnetic imaging (PMI) is an emerging optical imaging modality that showed great performance on providing absorption maps with high resolution and quantitative accuracy. As a multi-modality technology, PMI warms up the imaged object using a near infrared laser while temperature variation is measured using magnetic resonance imaging. By probing tissue at multiple wavelengths, concentration of the main tissue chromophores such as oxy-and deoxy-hemoglobin, lipid, and water are obtained then used to derive functional parameters such as total hemoglobin concentration and relative oxygen saturation. In this paper, we present a multi-wavelength PMI system that was custom-built to host five different laser wavelengths. After recovering the high-resolution absorption maps, a least-squared minimization process was used to resolve the different chromophore concentration. The performance of the system was experimentally tested on a phantom with two different dyes. Their concentrations were successfully assessed with high spatial resolution and average accuracy of nearly 80%.

Abstract

In this study, we develop an analytical based simulation method to determine laser parameters such as laser power and its duration for laser induced thermal ablation. This method utilizes two important physical approaches to model i) the light propagation and ii) the change in temperature due to the laser absorption in turbid media. First, the photon density is obtained analytically from the solution of the diffusion equation by deriving a special Greens’ function. Next, the Pennes bio-heat equation is solved analytically for a source term consisting of the product of the photon density and the optical absorption coefficient. Our approach is validated with the results obtained by Finite Element Method (FEM) and experimental results acquired from the gold-nanoparticle embedded phantom.

Abstract

International audience; In the ASY-EOS experiment flows of neutrons and light charged particles were measured for (197)Au+(197)Au collisions at 400 MeV/nucleon, in order to investigate the strength of the symmetry term of the nuclear equation of state at supra-saturation densities. By comparing the experimental data with the UrQMD transport model predictions, we have extracted a new constraint in agreement with the moderately soft to linear density dependence obtained in the former analysis on FOPI-LAND data, but reducing the associated uncertainty by a factor ∼ 2.

Abstract

Directed and elliptic flows of neutrons and light charged particles were measured for the reaction 197Au+197Au at 400 MeV/nucleon incident energy within the ASY-EOS experimental campaign at the GSI laboratory. The detection system consisted of the Large Area Neutron Detector LAND, combined with parts of the CHIMERA multidetector, of the ALADIN Time-of-flight Wall, and of the Washington-University Microball detector. The latter three arrays were used for the event characterization and reaction-plane reconstruction. In addition, an array of triple telescopes, KRATTA, was used for complementary measurements of the isotopic composition and flows of light charged particles. From the comparison of the elliptic flow ratio of neutrons with respect to charged particles with UrQMD predictions, a value \gamma = 0.72 \pm 0.19 is obtained for the power-law coefficient describing the density dependence of the potential part in the parametrization of the symmetry energy. It represents a new and more stringent constraint for the regime of supra-saturation density and confirms, with a considerably smaller uncertainty, the moderately soft to linear density dependence deduced from the earlier FOPI-LAND data. The densities probed are shown to reach beyond twice saturation., Comment: 25 pages, 22 figures, accepted for publication in Physical Review C

Abstract

International audience; The ASY-EOS experiment at GSI laboratory measured the direct and elliptic flow of neutrons and light charged particles in the reaction 197Au+197 Au at 400 A MeV incident energy. The ratio of elliptic flow of neutrons with respect to that of the light charged particles was used as main experimental observable to probe the density dependence of the symmetry energy term of the nuclear equation of state. Results, obtained by comparison of the experimental data with the UrQMD model predictions, strongly support a moderately soft to linear density dependence of the symmetry energy at suprasaturation densities below 2ρ0.

Abstract

The elliptic-flow ratio of neutrons with respect to protons or light complex particles in reactions of heavy-ions at pre-relativistic energies has been proposed as an observable sensitive to the strength of the symmetry term of the nuclear equation of state at supra-saturation densities. The results obtained from the existing FOPI/LAND data for 197Au+197Au collisions at 400 MeV/nucleon in comparison with the UrQMD model simulations favoured a moderately soft symmetry term, but suffer from a considerable statistical uncertainty. These results have been confirmed by an independent analysis based on the Tübingen QMD simulations. In order to obtain an improved data set for Au+Au collisions and to extend the study to other systems, a new experiment was carried out at the GSI laboratory by the ASY-EOS collaboration. The present status of the data analysis is reported

Abstract

The elliptic-flow ratio of neutrons with respect to protons in reactions of neutron rich Heavy-Ion at intermediate energies has been recently proposed as an observable sensitive to the strength of the symmetry term in the nuclear equation of state (EOS) at supra-saturation densities. The recent results obtained from the existing FOPI/LAND data for 197Au+197Au collisions at 400 MeV/nucleon in comparison with the UrQMD model allowed a first estimate of the symmetry term of the EOS but suffer from a considerable statistical uncertainty. In order to obtain an improved data set for Au+Au collisions and to extend the study to other systems, a new experiment was carried out at the GSI laboratory by the ASY-EOS collaboration in May 2011. © Owned by the authors, 2012.

Abstract

The aim of this work is to develop a 3D gamma camera with high position resolution and sensitivity relying on both distance/absorption and Compton scattering techniques and without using any passive collimation. The proposed gamma camera is simulated in order to predict its performance using the full benefit of Geant4 features that allow the construction of the needed geometry of the detectors, have full control of the incident gamma particles and study the response of the detector in order to test the suggested geometries. Three different geometries are simulated and each configuration is tested with three different scintillation materials (LaBr3, LYSO and CeBr3).

Abstract

The elliptic-flow ratio of neutrons with respect to protons in reactions of neutron rich heavy-ions systems at intermediate energies has been proposed as an observable sensitive to the strength of the symmetry term in the nuclear Equation Of State (EOS) at supra-saturation densities. The recent results obtained from the existing FOPI/LAND data for $^{197}$Au+$^{197}$Au collisions at 400 MeV/nucleon in comparison with the UrQMD model allowed a first estimate of the symmetry term of the EOS but suffer from a considerable statistical uncertainty. In order to obtain an improved data set for Au+Au collisions and to extend the study to other systems, a new experiment was carried out at the GSI laboratory by the ASY-EOS collaboration in May 2011., Comment: Talk given by P. Russotto at the 11th International Conference on Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (NN2012), San Antonio, Texas, USA, May 27-June 1, 2012.
