Lighting up the OR
LEDs are lighting up the surgical suite. When we looked at the state of the art in surgical lighting systems just three years ago, LEDs were only beginning to enter the conversation. Their rapid...
PACS: Spreading good health through great image management
The concept behind a picture archiving and communications system, or PACS, is pretty straightforward: Acquire medical information about a person, including digital images and basic...
Funding riskier research
For the greatest reward, you sometimes have to take the most risk. Even though balancing risk against reward can be difficult, the federal government does it all the time in fundin...
Reshaping Materials Analysis with novel mass spectrometry techniques
Mass spectrometry is not a classic photonic technique. The goal of measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions to identify the material from which they originated is mostly electrochemical. Over the...
Editorial
Recognizing excellence in the industry
So far, 2010 already has been an exciting year in biophotonics. We have seen movement and growth in various areas of the industry, and the gloom that hung over the economy in 2009 is showing signs of dissolution. In an industry that covers as much ground as biophotonics – affecting so many fields, from clinical medicine to lab research, and including technology from optics to lasers to...
BioScan
Black metal detects medically important terahertz radiation
Black metal, so called because of its pitch-dark appearance, could be important in medical applications because the material is highly absorptive. According to researchers from the University of Rochester, the enhanced absorption provided by the material extends into the terahertz region. As a result, according to optics professor Chunlei Guo, black metal could be used in terahertz...
‘Laser spinning’ technique aids in bone regeneration
Researchers have devoted considerable effort to developing materials for bone regeneration in the wake of damage or disease. Their studies have focused on producing tissue scaffolds that can mimic...

Working together toward imaging innovation
Being able to image dying or dead cells could be extremely useful to clinicians in terms of therapy assessment, diagnosis and more. Cancer specialists could check on a tumor’s response to treatment, for example, or cardiologists could determine quickly whether a patient actually has had a heart attack. And a collaboration between GE Healthcare and the Medical College of Wisconsin could help...

Pistol-packing mamas shoot down toxic toys
Armed only with sleek, ultramodern pistols shaped like a Star Trek phaser, so-called “citizen regulators” are setting out to verify the safety of their kids’ toys. Concern has grown in the past few years over the materials used to manufacture toys, especially the inexpensive ones found at dollar stores and discount chains. The problem is that toy-makers are under a great deal of economic...
