Mesoscopic and Microscopic Biophotonics Imaging of Brain
Hosted By: Therapeutic Laser Applications Technical Group
13 February 2023 12:00 - 13:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)In this webinar hosted by the Therapeutic Laser Applications Technical Group, Dr. Xingde Li from Johns Hopkins University will present his recent work on intra-operative detection of brain cancer infiltration in patients and functional brain imaging in freely-moving rodents. The technology platforms include quantitative OCT and scanning two-photon fiberscope. The working principles, algorithms, and key technology developments will be briefly discussed, followed by the results of intra-operative studies in patients and preliminary functional brain imaging studies in freely-behaving animals. The use of deep learning to assist data analyses will also be discussed for achieving automated image segmentation, classification, image compression, and imaging speed/quality augmentation.
