Faster and less phototoxic 3D fluorescence microscopy using a versatile compressed sensing scheme.

ABSTRACT: Three-dimensional fluorescence microscopy based on Nyquist sampling of focal planes faces harsh trade-offs between acquisition time, light exposure, and signal-to-noise. We propose a 3D compressed sensing approach that uses temporal modulation of the excitation intensity during axial stage sweeping and can be adapted to fluorescence microscopes without hardware modification. We describe implementations on a lattice light sheet microscope and an epifluorescence microscope, and show that images of beads and biological samples can be reconstructed with a 5-10 fold reduction of light exposure and acquisition time. Our scheme opens a new door towards faster and less damaging 3D fluorescence microscopy.

Project description:BackgroundEndogenous contrast T1? cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can detect scar or infiltrative fibrosis in patients with ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Existing 2D T1? techniques have limited spatial coverage or require multiple breath-holds. The purpose of this project was to develop an accelerated, free-breathing 3D T1? mapping sequence with whole left ventricle coverage using a multicoil, compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction technique for rapid reconstruction of undersampled k-space data.MethodsWe developed a cardiac- and respiratory-gated, free-breathing 3D T1? sequence and acquired data using a variable-density k-space sampling pattern (A?=?3). The effect of the transient magnetization trajectory, incomplete recovery of magnetization between T1?-preparations (heart rate dependence), and k-space sampling pattern on T1? relaxation time error and edge blurring was analyzed using Bloch simulations for normal and chronically infarcted myocardium. Sequence accuracy and repeatability was evaluated using MnCl2 phantoms with different T1? relaxation times and compared to 2D measurements. We further assessed accuracy and repeatability in healthy subjects and compared these results to 2D breath-held measurements.ResultsThe error in T1? due to incomplete recovery of magnetization between T1?-preparations was T1?healthy =?6.1% and T1?infarct =?10.8% at 60?bpm and T1?healthy =?13.2% and T1?infarct =?19.6% at 90?bpm. At a heart rate of 60?bpm, error from the combined effects of readout-dependent magnetization transients, k-space undersampling and reordering was T1?healthy =?12.6% and T1?infarct =?5.8%. CS reconstructions had improved edge sharpness (blur metric?=?0.15) compared to inverse Fourier transform reconstructions (blur metric?=?0.48). There was strong agreement between the mean T1? estimated from the 2D and accelerated 3D data (R2 =?0.99; P <?0.05) acquired on the MnCl2 phantoms. The mean R1? estimated from the accelerated 3D sequence was highly correlated with MnCl2 concentration (R2 =?0.99; P?<?0.05). 3D T1? acquisitions were successful in all human subjects. There was no significant bias between undersampled 3D T1? and breath-held 2D T1? (mean bias?=?0.87) and the measurements had good repeatability (COV2D =?6.4% and COV3D =?7.1%).ConclusionsThis is the first report of an accelerated, free-breathing 3D T1? mapping of the left ventricle. This technique may improve non-contrast myocardial tissue characterization in patients with heart disease in a scan time appropriate for patients.
