This is the ยฎrst in a series of review articles which aim to present a concise and systematic overview of the principles, limitations, advantages, and uses of some of the more important recently developed techniques capable of imaging living histology. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is now an es
This second article in the series shows how ยฏuorescence lifetime imaging allows natural biochemical and physiological properties of tissues to act as contrast agents and so provide a basis for distinguishing normal and diseased tissue components. When combined with methods for imaging through non-tr
Adolescence is a period of increased behavioral and psychiatric vulnerabilities. It is also a time of dramatic structural and functional neurodevelopment. In recent years studies have examined the precise nature of these brain and behavioral changes, and several hypotheses link them together. In thi
## Abstract The accuracy of cerebral blood flow (CBF) imaging in humans has been impeded by the partial volume effects (PVE), which are a consequence of the limited spatial resolution. Because of brain atrophy, PVE can be particularly problematic in imaging the elderly and can considerably overesti
