Ultrafast time-gated approach in optical biomedical imaging

IMAGING an object located in a highly scattering medium is a challenging problem with a wide range of applications in different fields: medicine, industry, defence and space. A better understanding of photon migration in turbid media has resulted in a surge of research interest in optical biomedical imaging. Limitations of X-ray imaging in detecting small lesions in tissues, in distinguishing m...

Non-Contact Optical Ultrasound Concept for Biomedical Imaging

In this paper, we examine the potential of a fully noncontact-standoff laser-ultrasound concept to generate and measure elastic waves in order to construct internal structure and matrix images within biological tissue. We use a pulsed optical laser (Q-switched) as an excitation source that converts optical energy to ultrasonic waves within a tissue complex via photoacoustic (PA) mechanisms. Las...

Advances in Optical Imaging and Biomedical Science Symposium

This symposium was held on June 1-2, 2009 at NIH. The meeting was organized by NEI and jointly supported by NEI and NIBIB as a part of the NEI 40th Anniversary Symposia Series. The meeting brought together many of the world’s leading experts in ocular imaging technology to discuss the current state of the art in optical coherence tomography (OCT), adaptive optics (AO), fluorescence imaging, and...
