Technical note: Cartilage imaging with sub-cellular resolution using a laboratory-based phase-contrast x-ray microscope. Microscopic imaging of cartilage is a key tool for the study and development of treatments for osteoarthritis. When cellular and sub-cellular resolution is required, histology remains the gold standard approach, albeit limited by the lack of volumetric information as well as by processing artifacts. Cartilage imaging with the sub-cellular resolution has only been demonstrated in the synchrotron environment. Objective: To provide a proof-of-concept demonstration of the capability of a laboratory-based x-ray phase-contrast microscope to resolve sub-cellular features in a cartilage sample. Meth...
Ultrasound B-scan image simulation, segmentation, and analysis of the equine tendon. The hypothesis is that an imaging technique based on decompression and segmentation of B-scan images with morphological operators can provide a measurement of the integrity of equine tendons. Methods: Two complementary approaches were used: (i) Simulation of B-scan images to better understand the relationship between image properties and their underlying biological structural contents and (ii) extraction and quantification from B-scan images of tendon structures identified in step (i) to diagnose the status of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) by using the proposed imaging technique...
