  • Live-cell computed tomography
    Patent number: 11327004
    Abstract: Systems and methods of using the same for functional fluorescence imaging of live cells in suspension with isotropic three dimensional (3D) diffraction-limited spatial resolution are disclosed. The method-live cell computed tomography (LCCT)-involves the acquisition of a series of two dimensional (2D) pseudo-projection images from different perspectives of the cell that rotates around an axis that is perpendicular to the optical axis of the imaging system. The volumetric image of the cell is then tomographically reconstructed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2022
    Assignee: Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of Arizona State University
    Inventors: Deirdre Meldrum, Roger Johnson, Laimonas Kelbauskas, Jeff Houkal, Brian Ashcroft, Dean Smith, Hong Wang, Shih-Hui Joseph Chao, Rishabh Shetty, Jakrey Myers, Iniyan Soundappa Elango
