    摘要: The present invention relates to a phantom device that simplifies usage and testing of a low intensity light imaging system. The phantom device includes a body and a light source internal to the body. The body comprises an optically selective material designed to at least partially resemble the optical behavior of mammalian tissue. Imaging the light source or phantom device may incorporate known properties of the optically selective material. Testing methods described herein assess the performance of a low-level light imaging system (such as the software) by processing light output by the phantom device and comparing the output against known results. The assessment builds a digital representation of the light source or test device and compares one or more components of the digital representation against one or more known properties for the light source or the test device.

    摘要: An optical fiducial timing system is provided for use with interdependent groups of X-ray streak cameras (18). The aluminum coated (80) ends of optical fibers (78) are positioned with the photocathodes (20, 60, 70) of the X-ray streak cameras (18). The other ends of the optical fibers (78) are placed together in a bundled array (90). A fiducial optical signal (96), that is comprised of 2.omega. or 1.omega. laser light, after introduction to the bundled array (90), travels to the aluminum coated (82) optical fiber ends and ejects quantities of electrons (84) that are recorded on the data recording media (52) of the X-ray streak cameras (18). Since both 2.omega. and 1.omega. laser light can travel long distances in optical fiber with only a slight attenuation, the initial arial power density of the fiducial optical signal (96) is well below the damage threshold of the fused silica or other material that comprises the optical fibers (78, 90). Thus the fiducial timing system can be repeatably used over long durations of time.

    摘要: Described herein is a phantom device that simplifies usage, testing, and development of light imaging systems. The phantom device includes a body and a fluorescent light source internal to the body. The body comprises an optical material designed to at least partially resemble the optical behavior of mammalian tissue. The phantom device has many uses. One use of the phantom device permits testing of tomography software in the imaging system, such as software configured for 3D reconstruction of the fluorescent light source. Another use tests spectral unmixing software in the imaging system. The phantom device also allows a user to compare trans- and epi-fluorescent illumination imaging results.

    摘要: An integrated microtomography and optical imaging system includes a rotating table that supports an imaging object, an optical stage, and separate optical and microtomography imaging systems. The table rotates the imaging object about a vertical axis running therethrough to a plurality of different rotational positions during a combined microtomography and optical imaging process. The optical stage can be a trans-illumination, epi-illumination or bioluminescent stage. The optical imaging system includes a camera positioned vertically above the imaging object. The microtomography system includes an x-ray source positioned horizontally with respect to the imaging object. Optical and x-ray images are both obtained while the imaging object remains in place on the rotating table. The stage and table are included within an imaging chamber, and all components are included within a portable cabinet. Multiple imaging objects can be imaged simultaneously, and side mirrors can provide side views of the object to the overhead camera.

    摘要: An imaging subject handling system includes multiple portable imaging subject cartridges that optionally compress and anesthetize living imaging subjects therein during imaging, multiple receiving bases installed within separate imaging systems that interface with the cartridges, and multiple gas delivery systems that deliver an anesthetic gas flow to an installed cartridge. The cartridges include a gas delivery interface that accepts the anesthetic gas flow and provides it to the imaging subject, and one or more walls, a bottom and a top defining a closed interior that retains the anesthetic gas therewithin while the cartridge is in transport between separate imaging systems. The walls, bottom and/or top can be optically transparent and radiolucent to facilitate imaging. The cartridge can include a locking mechanism, a nose cone for the imaging subject, and co-registration features located on outside surfaces to facilitate the merging of images within software from multiple separate imaging systems.

The apparatus includes a chamber for receiving the animal, wherein the chamber is light tight preventing a substantial portion of light emitted from the animal from escaping the chamber when the chamber is closed and the animal is inside the chamber and a light monitoring device for collecting light from different portions of the animal when the animal is inside the closed chamber. The light monitoring device is arranged to collect light over substantially the entire surface area of the body and head of the animal, and the light monitoring device generates a quantified value based on the light collected from the animal. The animal does not have to be under anesthesia.
