Commercial Development of Non-Contact Photoacoustic Remote Sensing Optical Microscopy for Rapid Tissue Analysis
FY 2020-21 · 2020-07-01
Summary
There is a desperate need for a fast, non-contact, non-invasive, safe and accurate technique that can measure oxygen saturation, oxygen metabolic activity, and multilayered histology-like information. Quickly acquiring in-situ microscope images of disease morphology and oxygen metabolic activity can play a vital role in understanding, and better treating, several diseases including cancers and vision loss. We aim to develop a rapid label-free clinical imaging tool that can visualize tissue structure by leveraging our PARS™ technology. This is carried out in collaboration with clinicians and our optical technical development team.

Description (French)
Il existe un besoin désespéré de disposer d'une technique rapide, sans contact, non invasive, sûre et précise qui puisse mesurer la saturation en oxygène, l'activité métabolique de l'oxygène et les informations multicouches de type histologique. L'acquisition rapide d'images microscopiques in situ de la morphologie des maladies et de l'activité métabolique de l'oxygène peut jouer un rôle essentiel dans la compréhension et le traitement de plusieurs maladies, notamment les cancers et la perte de vision. Notre objectif est de mettre au point un outil d'imagerie clinique rapide et sans étiquette qui puisse visualiser la structure des tissus en tirant parti de notre technologie PARS™. Ce projet est réalisé en collaboration avec des cliniciens et notre équipe de développement technique optique.
