Christoph K. Hitzenberger, Medical University of Vienna

The development and application of optical techniques and tools for biomedical imaging, diagnostics and therapy have been continuously expanding for several decades. These advances are based on multidisciplinary efforts requiring contributions from various fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, informatics and medicine. While physicists explore the application of basic optical principles to biomedical problems, and chemists develop new molecular and target-specific probes, hard- and software engineers translate these results into practical devices that are tested by...Read full article

    medical lasers
    Medical lasers are devices that produce intense beams of light with specific characteristics and properties, which are used for various medical applications. These lasers emit light in the form of coherent and focused beams, allowing precise control over the energy delivered to tissues. The term "laser" stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." In the medical field, lasers are employed for diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical purposes. Their applications...
    optical coherence tomography
    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique used in medical and scientific fields to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional images of biological tissues. It provides detailed, real-time, and three-dimensional visualization of tissue structures at the micrometer scale. OCT is particularly valuable in ophthalmology, cardiology, dermatology, and various other medical specialties. Here are the key features and components of optical coherence tomography: Principle of...
