Method and apparatus to obtain limited angle tomographic images from stationary gamma cameras

A nuclear imaging system and method for performing three-dimensional imaging of anatomical structures. The system and method includes two or more gamma ray detectors each used in combination with a variable-slant hole collimator. The detectors are positioned in close proximity to, or in contact with, the structure being imaged. The detectors remain in a stationary position during the data collection process. An imaging or reconstruction method is then used to reconstruct a three-dimensional image from the data derived from the detectors.

System and method for x-ray compatible 2D streak camera for a snapshot multiframe imager

The present disclosure is directed to a snapshot multiframe imager having an aperture element having at least one aperture, an adjacently positioned random mask, an imaging element and a computer. The random mask has a plurality of micron scale apertures and receives light passing through the aperture element, which represents the spatial information from the scene being imaged, and generates a plurality of image frames encoded in a spatial domain. The imaging element may operate in a drift-scan mode receives the encoded image frames and generates a streaked pattern of electrons representing a plurality of images of the scene at a plurality of different times. The computer analyzes the streaked pattern of electrons and mathematically reconstructs the plurality of images.

Lens-free compound eye cameras based on angle-sensitive meta-surfaces

A lens-free ultrathin imaging sensor using a compound-eye vision modality can be formed by forming a metasurface on each pixel of an array of pixels in a solid state imaging sensor. The metasurface can be configured to form a diffraction grating that directs light incident on the metasurface at a predefined angle to excite surface plasmon polaritons into the solid state imaging sensor and light incident at any other angle is reflected or diffracted away from the metasurface. Each pixel of the imaging sensor can be configured using the metasurface to only receive light incident from a different portion of a field of view. A computational imaging system can be used to construct the image from the individual pixels.
