Latest Patents

Biqin Dong's latest patents include devices, methods, and systems relating to super resolution imaging. Certain examples disclose systems and methods for imaging a target. An example method includes activating a subset of light-emitting molecules in a wide field area of a target using an excitation light. This is followed by capturing one or more images of the light emitted from the subset of the molecules illuminated with the excitation light. The process continues with localizing one or more activated light-emitting molecules using one or more single molecule microscopic methods to obtain localization information. Simultaneously, spectral information for the same localized activated light-emitting molecules is captured using one or more spectroscopic methods. The final steps involve resolving one or more non-diffraction limited images of the area of the target using a combination of the localization and spectral information for the localized activated light-emitting molecules, and displaying the one or more non-diffraction limited images.

Another significant patent involves devices, methods, and systems of functional optical coherence tomography. This disclosure provides systems and methods for determining a rate of change of one or more analyte concentrations in a target using non-invasive, non-contact imaging techniques such as OCT. Generally, OCT data is acquired, and optical information is extracted from OCT scans to quantitatively determine a flow rate of fluid in the target. Angiography is also performed using one or more fast scanning methods to determine a concentration of one or more analytes. These calculations can provide a means to determine a change in the rate of an analyte over time. Example methods and systems of the disclosure may be used in assessing metabolism of a tissue, where oxygen is the analyte detected, or other functional states, and can be generally used for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of disease.
