Chuan-Bor Chueh;Huai-Jen Liu;Ting-Yen Tsai;Ting-Hao Chen;Heng-Yu Li;Hsiang-Chieh Lee

We have developed a multi-scale OCM imaging system at a 1.7-μm regime enabling multi-scale imaging of the ex vivo oral precancerous tissue. The light source had a sweep rate of 90 kHz. Objectives with three different magnifications are mounted to a power turret, enabling seamless change of the OCT imaging resolution via the software control with up to 5.3 μm transverse resolution. Most importantly, we demonstrated the ability of our custom-developed volumetric mosaic stitching and processing algorithm applicable for aforementioned multi-scale OCM datasets in an fully automatic fashion without requiring manual adjustment of individual parameters.

Meng-Shan Wu;Yu-Yu Li;Po-Chuan Chen;Ting-Yen Tsai;Chuan-Bor Chueh;Ting-Hao Chen;Meng-Tsan Tsai;Chun-Chieh Wang;Hsiang-Chieh Lee

In this study, we have developed a catheter-based OCT system with a polarization diversity detection apparatus allowing volumetric imaging of the cervix, including the endocervical canal. The rotary junction and catheter are custom-designed to tailor the aforementioned biomedical applications. Preliminary imaging results of the human fingertip and palm skin were shown to validate the imaging capability of the developed imaging system. In order to suppress the polarization artifact present in the volumetric OCT images, a custom-designed polarization diversity detection apparatus was designed and implemented to assure the optimum detection of OCT signals on the circumference as well.

Ting-Hao Chen;Yi-Chun Wu;Jye-Chang Li;Ming-An Chen;Ting-Yen Tsai;Chuan-Bor Chueh;Meng-Tsan Tsai;Yoshiaki Yasuno;Ming-Kai Pan;Hsiang-Chieh Lee

Recently, the functional extension of optical coherence tomography (OCT) with the OCT angiography (OCTA) technique provides volumetric imaging of the subsurface microvasculature of the imaging tissue without requiring exogenous contrast agents. In this study, we have developed a small-footprint imaging platform with the MEMS scanning technologies, allowing volumetric imaging of the mouse brain microvasculature at different physiological states, including anesthesia, waking, and movement. In addition, in order to better examine the changes of microvasculature among different aforementioned states, we have employed three different OCTA algorithms, including decorrelation (DM-OCTA), speckle variance (SV-OCTA), and complex differential variation (CDV-OCTA).

Tai-Ang Wang;Hsiang-Chieh Lee;Meng-Tsan Tsai

In vivo cellular imaging has been highly desired for research use and practical diagnosis. Ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT), generally refers to 1–2 μm or even higher spatial resolution in tissue, has been considered a critical role on in vivo cellular or subcellular level imaging. In this study, we have developed an UHR-OCT system with a mode-locked laser pumped supercontinuum laser (ML-SCL), achieving ~1.8 μm on both axial and lateral resolution in biological tissues. This system is then implemented on mouse cornea and human skin imaging, demonstrating its feasibility of in vivo studies and clinical applications.

Jia-Ling Tu Using Deep Learning for Automated Detection of Neural Canal Opening in OCT Images
Jia-Ling Tu;Chieh-En Lee;Chung-Hao Tien

Neural canal opening (NCO) points are important landmarks of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer in the optic nerve head (ONH) region. How to identify the NCO points is a challenging issue by means of conventional image processing. In this study, we proposed a deep learning-based scenario for two purposes: one is to check the existence of NCO points as the binary classification task, and the other is to find the NCO location as the detection task. Proposed algorithm was validated to yield more stable NCO points detection under a series of testing OCT images.

Ying-Ju Chen Dual-color Coded Quantitative Differential Phase Contrast Microscopy with Deep Learning for Time-lapse Imaging
Ying-Ju Chen;Sunil Vyas;Yuan Luo

Quantitative differential phase contrast (qDPC) microscopy provides phase information with asymmetric illumination, which enables label-free imaging. However, typical qDPC microscopy requires twenty-four intensity measurements to reconstruct a single phase image, while motion artifacts and acquisition time are important issues for live cell imaging. We propose dual-color coded qDPC microscopy with patch-wised U-net to minimize required frames. To demonstrate the performance of the system, live cell time-lapse imaging is executed.

CHIA-LUN TSAI Three-dimensional reconstruction of cone-beam X-ray luminescence computed tomography via FBP method
TIEN-AI JI;TIEN-YU WU;Jyh-Cheng Chen;Tse-Ying Liu;CHIA-LUN TSAI;SNOW H. TSENG

X-ray luminescence computed tomography (XLCT) provides new possibility for molecular imaging through X-rays with nano-luminescent particles which can excite visible light. In this article, Filtered Back Projection (FBP) method is employed to reconstruct the optical data of luminescent tomography through visible light at 24 angles in free space. Furthermore, the simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART) is applied in the reconstruction process as an iterative method. At the end of the article, we will actually reconstruct a tablet-shaped light-emitting prosthesis.

Nazish Murad Remarkable Performance of Batch-Normalization Layers in Diffuse Optical Imaging
Nazish Murad;Min-Chun Pan

A non-invasive imaging technique, diffuse optical tomography (DOT), quantifies the optical properties of biological tissue. It is ill-posed and ill-conditioned due to the diffusive nature of light propagation in biological tissues. In this study, a 2D convolution neural network is employed to build up an image reconstruction network that tackles the above issues of DOT. To stabilize the distribution of input(radiance) to a given network layer during training, we introduce batch normalization layers to the network which also train our network quicker and more reliably.

Anupama Venugopalan Nair Analysis of Collagen Types I & II at Bone Fracture Healing Tissue Using Polarization-SHG
Anupama Venugopalan Nair;Chi-Hsiang Lien;Chung-Hwan Chen;Shu-Chun Chuang;Yi-Shan Lin;Shean-Jen Chen

Discriminating type I and II collagen is important as several diseases are known to alter the properties of these collagen structures in bone and cartilage. Dual-liquid crystal based polarization-resolved second harmonic (SHG) microscopy is utilized for quantitative characterization of collagen types I and II in fracture healing tissues via the pitch angle analysis according to 18 different polarization-SHG images. Furthermore, data reliability is ensured by using right and left-hand circular polarization imaging centered circular dichroism analysis. This approach presents a promising tool for differentiating collagen types at the molecular scale and for understanding the role of collagen in ECM structure.

Tien-Yu Wu Distortion correction based on division model for sCMOS cameras in CB-XLCT
Chia-Lun Tsai;Tien-Ai Ji;Jyh-Cheng Chen;Tse-Ying Liu;Tien-Yu Wu;Snow H. Tseng

In our cone-beam X-ray luminescence computed tomography (CB-XLCT) system, luminescent optical imaging was affected by lens distortion, which caused great difficulty in the direct interpretation of the image. When the magnification of the lens decreases with axial distance causing, radial distortion occurs, causing each image point to move radially towards the center of the image. Thus, it is essential to use Geometric calibration to correct the image. Therefore, Fitzgibbon’s division model will be employed to solve the initial values of distortion for presentation of real data.

Zi-Ping Chen UV-visible-NIR self-phase-modulation-enabled femtosecond fiber source for biomedical single/two-photon fluorescence microscopy
Zi-Ping Chen;Lu-Ting Chou;Yu-Cheng Liu;Shih-Hsuan Chia

We optimized the spectral coverage of self-phase-modulation-enabled femtosecond fiber sources by careful investigations into the influence of input pulse width, fiber length, and fiber damage, and we have demonstrated a widely tunable source ranging from 740-1250 nm for two-photon microscopy applications. In addition, tens of milliwatt tunable near-UV/visible spectrum is easily obtained by a frequency-doubled conversion, and the gap between the fundamental and frequency-doubled spectra can be filled with the nonlinear wave breaking around 650 nm. A multi-modality microscopy incorporating two-photon microscopy and confocal fluorescence microscopy was also demonstrated to prove the versatility of our development for biomedical imaging.

Yen-Chih Yu;Sunil Vyas;J. Andrew Yeh;Yuan Luo

Isotropic quantitative differential phase contrast microscopy (iDPC) requires an optical system, electronic hardware to control illumination, and computational post-processing to reconstruct quantitative phase images. To make the system compact and portable, an efficient strategy is required. Here, we propose FPGA based iDPC microscopy which is designed and developed for biomedical imaging. The FPGA system is used to perform three basic operations: illumination control, image acquisition, and image reconstruction. Our system can provide high speed phase contrast images suitable for label-free live cell imaging.

The measurement of soft tissue in biological body is a known problem. To solve this problem, we developed a Cone-beam X-ray luminescence computed tomography (CB-XLCT) system, a dual modality technique, which can measure the hard and soft issue at the same time. To reconstruct the optical data of luminescent tomography, we employed Filtered Back Projection (FBP) method, and we made comparison between the constructions of soft tissue by three iterative reconstruction techniques: Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART), Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (SART) and Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique (SIRT).

Lu-Ting Chou Video-rate green three-photon fluorescence microscopy based on a single Cr:forsterite laser oscillator
Lu-Ting Chou;Hao-Hsuan Hung;Wei-Zong Lin;Shao-Hsuan Wu;Anatoly. A. Ivanov;Shih-Hsuan Chia

We have achieved video-rate three-photon fluorescence microscopy based on a 1320-nm femtosecond source, driven by a single 24-MHz Cr:forsterite oscillator and fiber-optic nonlinear conversion. This demonstration provides a solution for robust a source system for deep-tissue GFP imaging. We optimized the laser oscillator to deliver 40-nJ output pulse energy at around 1260 nm, and the matching of the output wavelength and GFP excitation can be realized by precisely managing the interplay between self-phase modulation and fiber dispersion. We have obtained clear video-rate three-photon images from fluorescent beads, and further optimization toward deep-tissue GFP imaging will be discussed.

Shao-Hsuan Wu Compact multicolor two-photon fluorescence microscopy enabled by tailorable broadening from self-phase modulation and dispersive wave generation
Shao-Hsuan Wu;Hao-Hsuan Hung;Lu-Ting Chou;Shih-Hsuan Chia

Without additional optical delay line and complicated dispersion compensation, we investigated the possible fiber-optic nonlinear process to realize simultaneous multicolor two-photon fluorescence imaging. Precise generation of the spectral broadening enabled by self-phase modulation and dispersive wave generation delivers two fully compressible femtosecond pulses, and the relative delay between the pulses can be controlled under different input conditions. Based on a 24MHz Cr:forsterite laser and proper fiber-optic nonlinear conversion, we obtained wide spectral coverages of 900-1200 nm and 700-1200 nm using different fibers. We also demonstrated simultaneous video-rate observation of cyan, green, and red fluorescent beads with controllable sum-frequency excitation.

Yu Hao Tseng To Restore in-vivo Drosophila Brain Images of Fast Temporal Focusing Multiphoton Microscopy by 3D U-Net
Yu Hao Tseng;Chia Wei Hsu;Chun Yu Lin;Yuling Hu;Chun Yuan Wu;Hsueh Cheng Chiang;Shean Jen Chen

In our system, temporal focusing multiphoton excitation microscopy (TFMPEM), which can excite a large area at once, also can provide high frame rates capability, and is faster than using point-scanning method. But with this characteristic, it cannot excite all area equally distributed, and the scattering problem in bio-tissue is the deeper the worse. So we registered and restored TFMPEM images by using 3D U-Net architecture via the point-scanning images as the ground truth. This study demonstrated 100 frame rates and improved image quality from 8.7 dB to 32.7 dB.

Bhaskar Jyoti Borah Sub-Minute Multicolor Giga-Pixel Nonlinear Optical Mesoscope with >30 M/s Effective Pixel Rate
Bhaskar Jyoti Borah;Yi-Hua Liao;Chi-Kuang Sun

Digital image stitching/mosaicking is a basic requirement for a state-of-the-art nonlinear optical mesoscope (NLOM) while imaging a centimeter-scale tissue sample, especially when the NLOM field-of-view (FOV) is limited, owing to a moderate or high numerical aperture (NA) objective lens. For an enhanced effective scanning speed, such stitching operations are expected to be real-time so as to eradicate a need of post-acquisition data processing. We report a post-processing-free sub-minute multicolor gigapixel NLOM imaging technique capable of point-scanning an ultra-large tissue sample at a >30 M/s effective pixel rate while securing a submicron digital resolution.

Yao-Chen Tseng H&E-enhanced nonlinear optical microscopy to rapidly assess glioma border in human brain
Yao-Chen Tseng;Bhaskar Jyoti Borah;Kuo-Chuan Wang;Huan-Chih Wang;Koping Chang;Chi-Kuang Sun

Investigating hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained images of frozen-sectioned biopsy tissues is a state-of-the-art clinical diagnosis protocol to assess tumor borders during brain surgery. However, a single assessment usually takes at least 30 minutes and actual margins can be lost owing to the process of frozen sectioning. We report a method to rapidly assess glioma surgery borders, where a whole-mount H&E staining protocol is first applied prior to the slide-free nonlinear mesoscope imaging. The protocol greatly enhances the signal-to-noise ratio and image contrast, and helps maximize the effective scanning rate with much reduced imaging time for centimeter square area sizes.

Overcoming photodamage has been challenging in bio-imaging. We demonstrated a power-enhancement model in harmonic generation microscopy by deep learning. With the image acquired at low optical power, the model outputs an image at higher optical power close to the ground-truth image. Consequently, the risk of photo-damage can be reduced.

Guan-Hua Lai;Sheng-Hao Tseng

Concentration of hemoglobin is an index for healthcare. Complete Blood Count (CBC) is the main way to calculate the concentration of hemoglobin in hospitals. However, there are some disadvantages, such as time consuming, pain and infection. In this study, we develop a non-invasive and hand-held optical system with algorithm to calculate the concentration of hemoglobin of 24 subjects in hospital. The correlation coefficient (r) of hemoglobin between hospital lab and our device is 0.870. Bland-Altman analysis had a deviation of -0.006 g/dL with 95% of values within the limit of agreement of 1.62 g/dL to -1.62 g/dL.

Ming-Lin Yang Study the Influence of Light and Source Configuration on the Accuracy of Reflective Pulse Oximeter in Low Perfusion Condition
Ming-Lin Yang;Cheng-Yan Yang;Chun-Yen Kuo;Sheng-Hao Tseng

Functional oxygen saturation (SaO2) is an important physiological parameter which estimate a person carries enough oxygen in blood. Pulse oximeter has been broadly used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool in many conditions, e.g., surgical procedures, anemic and injuries. However, the accuracy of pulse oximeters can be affected by many factors, such as low perfusion. This study aims at analyzing the effect of low perfusion on pulse oximeter. The results shows that the optical signal collected from longer source-detector separation (SDS) is less affected by low perfusion; in contrast, shorter SDS is well affected.

Nguyet Thi Anh Nguyen Nitride-based substrate for DNA microarray by SERS
Nguyet Thi Anh Nguyen;Kun-Yu Lai

The detection of human mutated DNA fragments is the key to cancer therapy. Surface-Enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is merging as a powerful tool to detect DNA molecules. However, SERS DNA biosensors are still rarely found in clinical applications due to their insufficient active area and varying signal intensities.
We use indium gallium nitride quantum wells (InGaN QWs) grown by MOCVD to address the abovementioned issues. This finally results in reliable detection of DNA hybridization events of human mutated DNA segments.
The sensitivity of our substrate is further boosted by adjusting MOCVD conditions towards the clinical SERS DNA biosensor.

Hong-Yan Zheng Process Insensitive Broadband Coupler for Optical Coherence Tomography Application
Hong-Yan Zheng;Bo-Liang Chen;Hsiao-Yen Lu;Shih-Hsiang Hsu

The optical power divider flatness in wavelengths for chip-based optical coherence tomography (OCT) is crucial to higher signal-to-noise ratios. A Mach-Zehnder directional coupler (MZDC) structure could be utilized to smoothly maximize the splitting ratio up to 40-nm wavelengths on a silicon platform with a 0.2 micrometer of decoupler optical path difference. However, a bidirectional coupler is necessary for spectral-domain OCT. Even though a MZDC structure is insensitive to the process variation, its bidirectional wavelength response is not flat. An array waveguide grating in spectral-domain OCT is proposed for a flatness compensation to maintain the axial resolution and sensitivity.

Zinc ion is the second largest transition metal ion in human body, and the concentration of zinc ion around axons is around 10-6 M. The concentration of zinc ion is a useful indicators for physiological states especially in brain and nerves. Therefore, it is helpful for clinicians’ medical treatment if the concentration of zinc ion in the injured brain and central nervous system can be detected in real time. Thus, we design a minimized fiber-based sensor coated with a hydrogel containing sensing molecules.

Syu-Cing Ma Analysis of the biochemical reaction status by real-time monitoring the molecular diffusion behaviors in a TFT sensor integrated with a microfluidic channel
Syu-Cing Ma;Ya-Chu Lee;Jin-Chun Lim;Yao-Hsuan Lai;Jian-Jang Huang

In this work, the metal-oxide TFT (thin-film transistor) biosensor integrated with a microfluidic channel was developed to investigate biochemical reaction kinetics. Using the malate-aspartate shuttle as an example, we established the correlation between the molecular diffusion behaviors in the microfluidic channel and the TFT current responses. Mixtures of different reagent concentrations were characterized to extract the ratio between NAD+ and NADH, and thus determining the apparent equilibrium constant. Because the whole analysis was conducted by a TFT sensor fabricated using semiconductor process, it has the advantages of exploring biochemical reaction kinetics in the massively parallel manner.

Keng-Yi Tsai In-situ Stability Feedback Control of an Electrochemical Sensor Integrated with a Thin-Film Transistor for L-dopa Detection
Keng-Yi Tsai;Ya-Chu Lee;Jian-Jang Huang

In this work, we propose a new biosensing setup that includes a typical electrochemical(EC) biosensor, a TFT (thin-film transistor) and a constant current source. The integrated circuit provides a negative feedback control to mitigate current fluctuations induced during the voltammetry detection of the EC biosensor. Using levodopa (L-dopa) molecules as the target analyte, our new structure demonstrated a LOD an order of magnitude lower than the traditional EC sensor because of a lower standard deviation among the tested samples

We report on using multimodal nonlinear optical (MNLO) microscopy with the image contrast of second harmonic generation (SHG) and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) to investigate the structures of bone-engineered biomaterials. By analyzing the nonlinear signals on images, it is possible to characterize and quantify the structural variations in the prepared collagen scaffolds, which are processed with different crosslinking methods. The results show that the correlation between signals and mechanical properties can be established. And the comparative analysis of these two signals can be used to monitor the structural (triple-helix) change of collagen molecules during the crosslinking processes.
