Imaging Modalities Covered in BMI1Imaging Modalities Covered in BMI1
• In brief, structural imaging (SI) techniques
– With one significant exception
BMI2 SS07 – Class 1 “Introduction” Slide 8
Imaging Modalities Covered in BMI2Imaging Modalities Covered in BMI2
• Functional imaging (FI) methods
– Diffuse Optical Tomography
– Optical Coherence Tomography
– Functional MRI (fMRI)
– Electroencephalographic Imaging
– Magnetoencephalography
– (Combined, or multi-mode, imaging)
• But what does “functional” mean?
BMI2 SS07 – Class 1 “Introduction” Slide 9
Meaning of “functional” is context-specificMeaning of “functional” is context-specific
• Always involves examination of what tissue is doing– But how this examination is carried out is different for different
methods– In some cases, functional imaging just means producing as
many structural images as you can, as fast as you can• Example: functional x-ray CT
– Same goes for some kinds of functional ultrasound• What about MRI?
BMI2 SS07 – Class 1 “Introduction” Slide 10
Varieties of fMRIVarieties of fMRI
• Diffusion-weighted Imaging• Perfusion Imaging
– Contrast-agent-based– Magnetic Resonance Angiography / Venography
• Saturation-based• Bipolar-gradient-based
– Arterial Spin Labeling• Diffusion Tensor Imaging• Magnetic Susceptibility Imaging
– Contrast-agent-based– Blood Oxygen Level Dependent

Some Modalities Are Inherently FunctionalSome Modalities Are Inherently Functional
• A: Abdominal x-ray CT image (structural/anatomical)• B: PET image of same tissue section (functional)• C: Co-registered x-ray CT and PET images
BMI2 SS07 – Class 1 “Introduction” Slide 12
FI Usually Is More “Indirect” than SIFI Usually Is More “Indirect” than SI
• Direct imaging = (essentially) no math needed– Laws of physics do the work
– e.g., Project an image onto a piece of film with a lens
• Indirect imaging = lots of math required– Computers used to process the measurement data and
reconstruct images
• “More indirect” means that additional, post-reconstruction operations are needed– Usually involves some type of comparison among images
from data collected at different times
BMI2 SS07 – Class 1 “Introduction” Slide 13
Instructional EmphasisInstructional Emphasis
• Image contrast mechanisms– How is energy interacting with matter (i.e., tissue)– What is the image a picture of?
• Biological/clinical motivation– Why do we care about the parameter(s) in the image?– How is having this image going to help us?
• How will it affect the treatment our patient is getting?
• Data analysis “from soup to nuts”– Pre-processing operations– Image reconstruction– Post-processing operations– “Post-post-” processing operations

Diffuse Optical tomography (DOT)Diffuse Optical tomography (DOT)
• Year discovered: ~1988
• Form of radiation: Near-infrared light (non-ionizing)
• Energy / wavelength of radiation: ~1 eV / 600–1000 nm
• Imaging principle: Interaction (absorption, elastic scattering) of light w/ tissue
• Imaging volume: ~103 cm3
• Resolution: Low (~1cm)
• Applications: Perfusion, functional imaging
