A Postdoctoral research fellowship in the area of In Vivo Microscopy is available in the Tearney Lab at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in the Wellman Center for Photomedicine. This appointment will be made at the rank of postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School. MGH’s role as a leading teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School and close ties to Harvard University and MIT provide an outstanding environment for developing and translating new in vivo microscopy technologies with applications in basic and clinical research. The fellowship will focus on the development and clinical application of advanced in vivo microscopy imaging ...
Madrid-MIT +Vision Consortium announces Fellowships in Translational Biomedical Imaging. Fellowships entail a training program in Madrid and Boston and development of collaborative projects between institutions in both cities. The Institute of Optics-CSIC (Madrid), as a member of the Consortium, encourages postdoctoral applications in the fields of optical ocular imaging within the frame of this program.

We developed an ultrahigh speed endoscopic swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for clinical gastroenterology using a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and micromotor based imaging catheter, which provided an imaging speed of 600 kHz axial scan rate and 8 μm axial resolution in tissue. The micromotor catheter was 3.2 mm in diameter and could be introduced through the 3.7 mm accessory port of an endoscope. Imaging was performed at 400 frames per second with an 8 μm spot size using a pullback to generate volumetric data over 16 mm with a pixel spacing of 5 μm in ...
The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO)has approved a new Special Interest Group (SIG) for the 2014 ARVO Annual Meeting, May 4-8, 2014, in Orlando, Florida. The SIG is titled: En Face OCT imaging of the Eye – SIG, Session Number: 355. The Organizer is Andre Romano and includes the following speakers: David Huang, James Fujimoto, Philip Rosenfeld. Bruno Lumbroso, Gabriel Coscas, Min Wang, Richard Rosen. More can be found by clicking HERE .
We characterized en face features of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroid in eyes with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) using a high-speed, enhanced tissue penetration, swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) prototype. Fifteen eyes of 13 consecutive patients with the clinical diagnosis of CSCR were prospectively examined with SS-OCT. Three-dimensional 6x6mm macular cube raster scans were obtained with SS-OCT operating at 1050nm wavelength and 100,000 A-lines/sec with 6µm axial resolution. Segmentation of the RPE generated a reference surface; en face SS-OCT images of the RPE and choroid were extracted at varying depths every 3.5 µm ...
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private, coeducational research university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. MIT has five schools and one college, containing 32 academic departments, with a strong emphasis in theoretical, applied, and interdisciplinary scientific and technological research. Laser Medicine and Medical Imaging Group at MIT. The RLE Laser Medicine and Medical Imaging Group and its close collaborators were the originators of optical coherence tomography (OCT), a diagnostic technology now used in a growing number of medical fields. The group currently works to further understand and exploit the capabilities of OCT technology, with ongoing investigations in topics related to optical coherence microscopy development and optical biopsy using OCT.
