Two-Photon Microscopy Provides Clear Guidance for Tumor Resection Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest malignancies, with an average five-year survival rate of only 12%1. Surgical resection of the tumor is often the only realistic approach to saving a...
Double-Clad Fiber Couplers Enhance Multimodal OCT Results Recent research efforts have aimed to enhance OCT’s information content by combining it with imaging modalities exploiting complementary optical contrasts. The design of optical coherence...
Editorial
A wider net for clinical research Research in optics and photonics as well as advancements in the design of versatile bedside systems have achieved breakthroughs in everything from our understanding of cellular metabolism to the ablation of scar tissue after an injury. But this research has too often been focused on concentrated groups of potential patients, geographically and demographically, which causes significant portions of...

Image Changing in the Surgical Suite As more and more surgical procedures are performed using a digital imaging view, such as robotic, laparoscopic, or thoracoscopic, and displayed on a big screen, what will the future of surgical planning look like? In my opinion, the future will look like a repository of thousands or millions of recorded procedures, with AI analyzing patterns. AI can analyze an image or anatomy and identify how it...

Seeing color though a dog’s eyes Growing up, most people were probably told that dogs cannot see the world in quite the same way that the average human can — perceiving the world in black and white and shades of gray instead of the vibrant colors we enjoy. Courtesy of iStock.com/HannamariaH. But this provides only a partial picture. In actuality, canines’ eyes are a little more similar to human eyes than researchers...
