Abstract: High-speed optical targeting systems and methods are described, wherein a light source, e.g., a laser, is optically coupled with a spatial light modulator. Some embodiments include a device for two-dimensional light steering. In some embodiments, the device comprises a spatial light modulator, and a laser in optical communication with the spatial light modulator. In some exemplary methods, an area is scanned withing a microscope with millisecond revisit time, such as with at least 500 individually targeted points of light. In other exemplary methods, a beam of light is directed from a laser light source into an optical system, through which the light may be focused into a line on a spatial light modulator, wherein the light can be scanned across the spatial light modulator, and directed from the spatial light modulator onto a sample. Other exemplary methods are drawn to the construction and use of the embodiments escribed herein.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to spatially modulating the light source used in microscopy. In some cases, a light source projects a sequence of two-dimensional spatial patterns onto a sample using a spatial light modulator. In some cases, the spatial patterns are based on Hadamard matrices. In some cases, an imaging device captures frames of image data in response to light emitted by the sample and orthogonal components of the image data are analyzed by cross-correlating the image data with the spatial pattern associated with each frame. A microscope may be calibrated by illuminating a sample with the sequence of spatial patterns, capturing image data, and storing calibration that maps each pixel of the spatial light modulator to at least one pixel of the imaging device.

Abstract: A method and system for acquiring a series of medical images includes receiving medical imaging data corresponding to photons emitted from a subject having received a dose of a radiotracer. Determining, from the medical imaging data, coincidence events including photon coincidence events involving two photons and photon coincidence events involving more than two photons. The photon coincidence events involving two photons and photon coincidence events involving more than two photons are processed and use to reconstruct a series of medical images of the subject.
