There appear to be unique markers in the blood of ovarian cancer patients, months and years prior to diagnosis, and optical imaging techniques can distinguish [between] normal, cancer, and benign abnormalities [in] ovarian and fallopian tube tissue.
In a small ex vivo study, we found that 5 MFI measurements were sufficient to distinguish between normal, cancerous, and benign fallopian tube and ovary tissue with 100% sensitivity and specificity.
The addition of OCT angiography to Heidelberg’s SPECTRALIS multimodal platform allows for the evaluation of retinal and choroidal vascular abnormalities in a noninvasive manner...I believe OCTA will soon become invaluable in our daily clinical routine for screening and diagnosing chorioretinal disorders.”
We will create this hybrid microscope putting these two powerful technologies together. OCT will image the development of the neural tube while at the same time, Brillouin spectroscopy will probe its mechanical properties. We will be imaging and sensing at the same time...If we find out what causes the tube to close, what is exactly happening, we can develop new drug treatments for at-risk embryos...It's still one of the great mysteries of life, no one on earth knows how this happens and that is really exciting to us, because we will be the ones to find out.
The purported advantages of the synergistic information that IVUS and OCT can provide have been highly anticipated in the interventional cardiology community...These cases performed in Hamilton represent the first worldwide clinical use of any system that combines IVUS with OCT on a single catheter. In an era of personalized and precision medicine, we believe that the ability to collect comprehensive imaging data in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) provides an important opportunity to generate improved clinical decision-making capabilities for these patients in the future.
Patients have an absolute right to know how, where and who is processing their data. We have a best in class security system; data is protected and encrypted at all times.
The Ganymede series has proven to be an excellent tool for a multitude of imaging applications,...The Thorlabs OCT application team is available to assist with sample test runs and would be pleased to discuss how our OCT systems can be adapted to meet your needs.
