Optical Scanner Shines New Light on Brain

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A new generation of optical neuroimaging touts effectiveness comparable to MRI and PET technologies, but has the ability to see and study areas of the brain that the others cannot. Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a new brain scanning technology developed by a team at the Washington University School of Medicine. It tracks a person’s brain activity using dozens of tiny LEDs on their head. Unlike MRI and PET methods, DOT avoids radiation exposure, allowing for multiple scans to be performed over time to monitor patients’ progress during treatment of brain injuries,...Read full article
