Multi-planar volumetric imaging systems, which produce 3D volume renderings from 2D projections, are finding a number of applications in aerospace and defense. However, the medical industry is particularly ripe for this technology because of the commonplace production of 3D scans by volumetric systems, such as CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound. While the technology is advancing, its value to medical professionals is diminished if technical challenges, such as those relating to multi-planar image generation and rendering, real-time volumetric video transfer and optical system...Read full article

    spatial light modulator
    A spatial light modulator (SLM) is an optical device that modulates or manipulates the amplitude, phase, or polarization of light in two dimensions, typically in the form of an array. SLMs are versatile tools used in various optical applications, including adaptive optics, optical signal processing, holography, and imaging. There are different types of SLMs, each with its own operating principle: Liquid crystal spatial light modulators (LC-SLM): These SLMs use liquid crystal technology to...
