Simple and Inexpensive Optical Imaging System Providing Real-Time Mapping of Animals' Internal Organs

The new system, which researchers Elizabeth Hillman of Columbia University and Anna Moore of the Harvard Medical School have dubbed a dynamic fluorescence molecular (DFM) imager, is currently being used to monitor the organs of laboratory mice. Hillman is now collaborating with Cambridge Research & Instrumentation to develop a commercial imaging platform that could have applications in drug testing and in the search for tumour-killing cancer treatments.

Ground-Breaking Technique in Breast Cancer Diagnostics - Photoacoustic Mammoscope

Photoacoustic techniques can supplement conventional imaging techniques in breast cancer diagnostics. From first tests on patients using the ¡¥photoacoustic mammoscope¡¦ developed by the University of Twente, researcher Dr. Srirang Manohar concludes that the images obtained add valuable information about the vascularisation of a tumor. The research has been done in cooperation with the Medisch Spectrum Twente hospital in Enschede, and the results are published in the online journal Optics Express.

Optic Buttonholing Produces Similar Outcomes to Conventional in-the-bag IOL Implantation

Cataract patients with no macular pathology can maintain macular integrity after surgery involving a posterior capsulorrhexis and posterior optic buttonholing, according to a surgeon speaking here. Optic buttonholing also produced similar outcomes to conventional in-the-bag IOL implantation, he noted.
