Contrast agents 9

Goal of biomedical imaging: structural and functional information


Contrast agents 10


Contrast agents: dynamic probes 11

Scattering probes: static, thus background noise from scattering of the tissues

Dynamic probes: modulated externally by slight modulation, then the unmodulated background can be filtered out efficiently

Contrast agents: paramagnetic particles, 20-30 nm with a magnetic susceptibility of χ=1 In tissue χ< 10-5

Contrast agents: iron oxide like magnetite, already used in MRI

Under a high magnetic field gradient… What happens ?



Optical coherence tomography (OCT) to detect the changes: The optical setup typically consists of an interferometer with a low coherence, broad bandwidth light source. Light is split into and recombined from reference and sample arm, respectively.

optical ultrasound !

The key benefits of OCT are: • Live sub-surface images at

near-microscopic resolution • Instant, direct imaging of tissue

morphology • No preparation of the sample or

subject • No ionizing radiation


Imaging applications: Two-photon confocal 16

Conventional vs Confocal microscopy

Single-photon vs two-photon confocal

• Small excitation volume • Longer wavelength

What is the Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) ? 18

18

Take the simplest atom: hydrogen Put it into an electric field

where α is the answer of the atom to electric field

Microscopic view: 1 atom

Macroscopic view: N atoms

p Eα=

You end up with a dipole moment

the macroscopic dipole moment (per unit volume) is called the POLARIZATION :

Term responsible of second harmonic generation Only present in special material that do not have a center of symmetry

2 30 1 0 2 0 3 ...P E E Eε χ ε χ ε χ= + + +

• 3rd-order : multiphoton absorption, third harmonic generation, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering

• 1st-order : absorption and reflection

• 2nd-order: SHG, sum and difference frequency generation, hyper-Rayleigh

Challenges in Biomedical Imaging 24

24

Life processes are … • Extremely complex • Highly dynamic • KEY: imaging probes

The wish list for “ideal” probes … • Small (the smaller the better) • Sensitive (easily detected) • Sustainable (no bleaching) • Stable (no blinking) • Fast (quick response) • Scalable (no signal saturation) • Biocompatible (no toxicity) • …

SHRIMPs


Advantages of SHRIMPs 25

25

Long-term observation: Due to the SHG physical mechanism over virtual energy state

Flexibility in excitation wavelength: SHG is a nonresonant process

Coherent signals: interferometric detection techniques possible, such as holography

Narrow signal bandwidth: more effectively suppress the background.

Ultrafast response time: in the subfemtosecond range

Biocompatibility: little toxicity and excellent biocompatibility to cells and tissues.
