Combined flat-field and frequency filter approach to correcting artifacts of multichannel two-photon microscopy.

While some image artifacts remain with these methods, further optimization of these processing steps may result in computational-efficient methods for removing these artifacts that are ubiquitous in large-scale MPM imaging. Removal of these artifacts with retention of the original image information would facilitate the use of this imaging modality in both research and clinical settings, where it is highly useful in collecting detailed morphologic and optical properties of tissue.
