UC Irvine researchers reveal a revolutionary new approach for 3D CT imaging from a single X-ray projection

Computed tomography (CT) has long been a cornerstone of modern imaging, providing detailed 3D insights into the human body and other materials. However, conventional CT requires hundreds of X-ray projections from multiple angles, exposing patients to significant radiation doses and relying on large, immobile systems.

Fast super-resolved microscopy with a structured illumination and extended depth detection.

Researchers at Institut Fresnel have developed an Extended Depth-of-Field Random Illumination Microscope (EDF-RIM) that integrates 3D speckle illumination for super-resolved imaging and extended depth detection for faster acquisition of thick samples. EDF-RIM captures entire 3D volumes in a single projection, reducing acquisition time and light exposure.

Ceevra 3D Models Improve Outcomes for Patients Undergoing Prostate Cancer Surgery

In a multisite randomized controlled trial published in JAMA Network Open in September 2024, the use of Ceevra 3D models in robotic prostatectomy procedures were shown to reduce risk of cancer recurrence, improve functional outcomes, and improve rates of trifecta outcomes.

3D Models Provide Unprecedented Look at Corals’ Response to Bleaching Events

In a new study, marine biologists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and Arizona State University are providing a first-of-its-kind glimpse into coral “bleaching” responses to stress, using imaging technology to pinpoint coral survival rates following multiple bleaching events off the island of Maui.

EventLFM: Event Camera integrated Fourier Light Field Microscopy for Ultrafast 3D imaging

Ultrafast volumetric imaging is essential for visualizing complex and dynamic biological processes. Scientists at Boston University have developed EventLFM, an innovative imaging system that combines event cameras with Fourier light field microscopy to capture rapidly moving and blinking 3D fluorescent samples at kHz speeds.

NUS scientists develop a novel light-field sensor for 3D scene construction with unprecedented angular resolution

A research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) Faculty of Science, led by Professor Liu Xiaogang from the Department of Chemistry, has developed a 3D imaging sensor that has an extremely high angular resolution, which is the capacity of an optical instrument to distinguish points of an object separated by a small angular distance. This allows the novel sensor to capture 3D images at higher depth resolution.

Science Snapshots from Berkeley Lab: 3D nanoparticles and magnetic spin

Researchers at Berkeley Lab have captured 3D images of nanoparticles in liquid with atomic precision, and developed an ultrathin electrical switch that could further miniaturize computing devices and personal electronics without loss of performance.
