Optical Coherence Tomography, OCT News
MicroOCT advances understanding of atherosclerosis
BOSTON – Coronary atherosclerosis could someday be more easily diagnosed and treated, thanks to a new version of the intravascular imaging technology optical coherence tomography that provides a resolution 10 times greater than that of standard OCT. The new version, developed at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, is called microOCT, and it provides the contrast and resolution required to show individual arterial and inflammatory cells within coronary artery...
OCT researchers garner grants for glaucoma detection
CLARKSBURG, Md. – OCT could become even more useful in glaucoma detection, diagnosis and research, thanks to new grants from the American Health Assistance Foundation, which funds research on age-related diseases. The organization recently awarded 22 grants –...
Photoacoustic Microscopy Unlocks Secrets of Optical Absorption
Sep 1, 2011 — Mainstream optical microscopy technologies cannot sensitively measure the optical absorption that provides essential physiological information such as the concentration and oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. In our research, we have implemented...
OCT Distinguishes Between Low- and High-Risk Cysts
ANDOVER, Mass., Aug. 19, 2011 — Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can distinguish between pancreatic cysts that are at low risk for becoming malignant and those that are high-risk. Other optical techniques often fail to provide images that are clear enough to differentiate...
High-Speed 3-D Imaging Could Improve Cancer Screening
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, 2011 — Researchers at MIT have developed an imaging system that enables high-speed, 3-D imaging of microscopic precancerous changes in the esophagus or colon. The new system is based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) techniques, which offer a way to...
Tiny Optics Continue to Roll Forward
Jul 13, 2011 — Individually micro-optics are a few millimeters in diameter at best, but together these tiny lenses comprise a powerful link to future technologies that will affect everything from advanced computers to human health.
Ophthalmic Lasers Expand from Surgery to Detection and Diagnosis
Jul 1, 2011 — Lasers are an established surgical tool in an ophthalmologist’s armory against glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration, but developments in OCT will have doctors turning to lasers before the patient ever reaches the operating room. The...
ECBO Promotes Advances in Biomedical Optics
May 1, 2011 — 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...
Tissue Imaging with Raman Spectroscopy and SERS
Apr 1, 2011 — Recent years have seen an increase in the use of gold nanorods (GNRs) as contrast agents for in vivo optical imaging, with applications including near-infrared transmission imaging and photoacoustic tomography as well as surface-enhanced Raman...
Matcher Takes 6-month Assignment at Michelson Diagnostics
ORPINGTON, England, March 16, 2011 — Dr. Stephen Matcher, senior lecturer in biomedical engineering at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Sheffield, has been matched with imaging developer Michelson Diagnostics for six months to provide optical...
BaySpec, Goodrich Deliver OCT Spectral Engine
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 8, 2011 — BaySpec Inc. and Goodrich Corp,'s ISR Systems' Princeton team (formerly Sensors Unlimited Inc.) have announced that their recent collaboration has delivered a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) spectral engine with breakthrough speed, compact...
Femtosecond Lasers Enable Bladeless Eye Surgery
Feb 1, 2011 — In the past few years, femtosecond lasers have become the “bladeless scalpel” of choice for ophthalmic surgeons. By nature, femtosecond lasers produce extremely brief, high-energy light pulses that can sear targeted tissue so quickly and...
Octopus Invests in Michelson Diagnostics
ORPINGTON, England, Nov. 11, 2010 — Octopus Investments Ltd. announced an investment of £1.7 million into Michelson Diagnostics Ltd., a medical equipment and scanner provider, whose laser scanning technology can image skin and other surface tissue at higher resolutions than ever...
OCT makes for a better angioplasty balloon
BOUCHERVILLE, Quebec – Coronary angioplasty is performed a million times a year in the US to help patients with clogged arteries relieve angina. A main component of the procedure is a balloon. Now, with the goal of improving balloon deployment, researchers at the...
Sound and Light, Signifying Improved Imaging
Nov 1, 2010 — Pure light is good for many bioimaging studies, but it has insurmountable limitations when it comes to scanning beneath the surface of the skin. Light in the near-IR range of about 2 to 3 µm can penetrate tissue up to only 0.1 to 1 mm, far too...
Phantom tissue puts OCT to the test
PERTH, Australia – Researchers at the University of Western Australia have come up with a material that mimics human tissue for optical coherence tomography applications. The researchers believe that their material, known as a phantom, has great potential in the...
Texas Instruments Inc.
Sep 1, 2010 — In Dallas, Texas Instruments Inc. has announced the availability of its version 2.0 medical imaging software, an updated and expanded collection of algorithms optimized for its TMS320C64x+ digital signal processors. The software complements the...
AFOSR's Laser Contributions Highlighted
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25, 2010 — Under the umbrella of “LaserFest” the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) hosted a series of celebrations to highlight the many Air Force and Defense Department-sponsored advances laser technology has made over the 50 years...
St. Jude Medical Acquires LightLab
ST. PAUL, Minn., July 9, 2010 — St. Jude Medical Inc., a global medical device company located in St. Paul Minn., has acquired Westford, Mass.-based LightLab Imaging Inc. for approximately $90 million in cash. LightLab develops Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), a high resolution...
Lantis Laser, Perio-Imaging to Merge
DENVILLE, N.J., June 18, 2010 — Lantis Laser Inc. announced it will merge with Perio-Imaging Inc., a private New York-based company that makes an ultrasongographic periodontal probe system. The merger would be an all-stock transaction. The name of the new company will be announced...
Imaging a Heart’s First Beat
HOUSTON, April 16, 2010 — Through high-resolution, non-invasive imaging, scientists are documenting the formation of the mammalian heart and are capturing video of the embryonic heart before it begins beating. Kirill Larin, assistant professor of biomedical engineering in...
The Outsourcing Option: No Longer Optional?
Apr 12, 2010 — The global medical equipment outsourcing market is forecast to reach $40 billion by 2016 with a compound annual growth rate of 16 percent, according to a report from GlobalData, based in London. Published in January 2010, the report is titled...
BaySpec Inc.
Mar 24, 2010 — BaySpec Inc. of Fremont, Calif., an advanced spectroscopy solutions provider, has announced the successful outcome of a collaboration on a new OCT spectral engine that features up to three times greater collection efficiency than standard...
Detecting smoke-induced airway injury with 3-D, swept-source OCT
IRVINE, Calif. – Smoke-inhalation injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among victims of fires; airway injury, edema, swelling, sloughing and necrosis with airway obstruction are the major causes of complications in the wake of such injury. However, the...
Dissecting the anatomy of 3-D imaging
Mar 24, 2010 — As the surgeon carefully prepares to make his first incision, he visualizes the route he planned and rehearsed earlier, guided by an ever-advancing suite of optical imaging tools. Thanks to optical molecular imaging, MRI, CT and the emerging field...
