Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Microscopy: Microscopic Laser Radar

Combining optical coherence tomography instrumentation and the principles of synthetic aperture radar, researchers have developed a new method for reconstructing 3-D optical images—even in regions that are out of focus in the raw data. Doctors may soon be able to use this approach as a noninvasive diagnostic tool in clinical settings.
Microscopic 3-D optical imaging provides guidance to tomorrow’s doctors during surgical interventions.
In many clinical scenarios, doctors require high-resolution visualization of tissues and their underlying cellular structures. Perhaps the most common example is for the identification, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In such cases, clinicians typically take ...
