Optical Medical Imaging

Whether your focus is medical diagnostics, surgery, clinical care, or biomedical research, optical medical imaging can play a transformational role in your practice. Recent advances in optical research are pushing the bar on medical imagery, and today’s practitioners have tools at their fingertips that could only have been dreamed of a few decades ago. 

Here we’ll look at two basic types of optical medical imagery that are both seeing transformative advances: diffusive optical imaging and ballistic optical imaging. We’ll also look briefly at nuclear imaging and a special hybrid type of medical imaging: photoacoustic imaging.  To read the entire article, visit Avantier
