Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) affects the subpleural lung but is considered to spare small airways. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) studies demonstrated airway reduction in end-stage IPF explanted lungs, raising questions about involvement early-stage disease.

Spatial sampling density and data size are important determinants of the imaging speed photoacoustic microscopy (PAM). Therefore, undersampling methods that reduce number scanning points typically adopted to enhance PAM by increasing step size. Since sacrifice spatial density, considering points, size, characteristics provides three-dimensional (3D) volume data, in this study, we newly reported deep learning-based fully reconstructing undersampled 3D data. The results quantitative analyses...

Significant technical and optical advances are required for intraoperative coherence tomography (OCT) to be utilized during otological surgeries. Integrating OCT with surgical microscopy makes it possible evaluate soft tissue in real-time at a high resolution. Herein, we describe an augmented-reality, OCT/microscope system extended working distance of 280 mm, providing more space manipulation than conventional techniques. We initially performed ex vivo experiments performance. In addition,...
The aim of this study was to quantitatively assess the residual adhesive on orthodontic ceramic bracket-removed dental surface. In process, bracket repeated debonding physically, then remained caused a lack strength between and bracket. Since commonly used in orthodontics is translucent, hard be detected with conventional microscopes. Therefore, 1310 nm center wavelength swept-source OCT system based laboratory customized image processing algorithm for precise detection tooth separates from...
Laser transmission welding offers significant benefits over conventional techniques enabling single-stage rapid plastic joining. The quality of laser welded products is commonly assessed by measuring the weld penetration depth, hardened boundary, and inspecting formation porosity. However, existing methods verification are inevitably accompanied destruction specimen. Thus, non-destructive assessment for have gained attention recently. Here, we demonstrated an extended industrial application...
To identify the vascular alteration by photodynamic therapy (PDT), utilization of high-resolution, high-speed, and wide-field photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) has gained enormous interest.
