There is a critical need to translate research and optical systems development to produce medical products that are robust, portable, and cost-effective. Recent progress in translational optical imaging relies on the synthesis of knowledge from many fields including fundamental optical science, medicine, chemical and biomedical engineering, and medical imaging and device technology. Combining diagnostic imaging with molecular characterization of disease is producing new trends that are sharpening perspectives; and producing practical techniques and devices that are approaching clinical application and/or commercial development.
Emerging technologies
Technological advances in optical molecular imaging are illuminating new possibilities in the development of real-time, high-resolution imaging of tissue in vivo.
Short course attendees will:
-
Learn from experts in the field,
-
Network with scientists and engineers,
-
Discover trends that are close to clinical application,
-
View the latest laboratory research, products, and systems, and
-
Gain new perspectives through technical presentations and discussions in high-resolution optical imaging, deep-tissue optical imaging, and contrast agents and molecular beacons.
