Lighting up the Lungs to Detect Disease
EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 9, 2017 — A novel imaging tool that rapidly diagnoses bacterial lung infections could help physicians customize antibiotic treatment for patients in intensive care units. Currently, diagnosing bacterial infections relies on a slow process of detection followed by biopsy and lab-based culture growth — procedures that are prone to contamination and can result in late treatment. The bedside technology, known as Proteus, uses LEDs and miniaturized optical fibers to enable the clinician to enter,
