Optoacoustic Imaging To Complement Ultrasound Tumor Diagnosis
German scientists recently optimized optoacoustic imaging by multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) to improve the diagnosis of fatty tumors.
Low-Cost Hyperspectral Imaging To Improve Cancer Diagnosis
British researchers designed, characterized and applied a novel low-cost SRDA-based HSI camera in an imaging system that could find application in endoscopic cancer diagnosis and intra-operative tumour resections.
Improving Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Through Imaging Collagen
Scottisch scientists researched the collagen assembly in cancerous prostate tissue using second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy leading to promising results.
Advanced Optical Materials Top 5 – September 2017
The month’s top articles from the field of nanooptics, optoelectronics, metamaterials, optical devices, detectors & sensors, micro/nano resonators and more.
Micron-Scale Wedge Thin Films Deposition Made Simple
Researchers made a simple and straightforward modification to the conventional method of thin film deposition to establish an easier procedure for the production of micron size wedge thin films.
Painting Silk with Water and Light
A naturally occurring structural protein (silk fibroin) is used to generate a large inverse opal. Selective exposure to water and/or light can change silk’s conformation thus painting different structural colors.
New Spectroscopic Technique to Detect Epilepsy in Children
Italian researchers explored the diagnostic capability of a multimodal spectroscopic approach for classifying normal brain tissue and epileptogenic focal cortical dysplasia in children.
