Fast and accurate imaging of the arthritic finger joint using digital optical tomography

总结

Andreas H. Hielscher, Ph.D.

技术优势

Improves the arrangement of illumination points to maximize data, reduce acquisition duration, and enhance spatial resolution.Could be used in complement with existing diagnostic tools to improve accuracy of patient diagnosisAllows for non-invasive visualization of the finger joint, and may be expanded to other tissues (e.g., breasts, cartilage, brain, feet, etc.).Patent information:Patent Pending (US 20100292569)

技术应用

Imaging of finger joints for the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and evaluation of interventions thereafter.Diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory disease commonly discovered only in symptomatic patientsImproved visualization and assessment of tissues (i.e. breasts, brain, cartilage) with a rapid and non-invasive modality.Real time monitoring and validation of pharmaceutical compounds during animal testing.
