Photoacoustics Holds Promise for Cancer
This noninvasive modality’s ability to map cellular metabolism could impact the future of cancer diagnosis and treatment. This is the first of a two-part series that will look more closely at the work of the dedicated researchers making some of the most exciting recent (and future) advances in photoacoustics.

Making Strides in Fourier Transform Spectroscopy
Advances in technology are broadening FTIR’s reach into applications such as pharmaceuticals and remote sensing. Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS) allows researchers to acquire spectra of solids, liquids and gases across a wide spectral range. The field of FTS is broadening as new techniques appear and commercial instrumentation becomes more sophisticated.

Building the Perfect Fiber Optic Probe
Probes for clinical use must be user-friendly, provide reproducible results, and adhere to professional standards. Researchers and clinicians use fiber optic-based probes for a wide variety of applications – which means the probes must exhibit varying amounts of complexity.

Light Advances in Biomedicine
Wednesday, April 9, 2014, 1 – 2 PM EDT
FREE WEBINAR
Dr. Robert Alfano
|
|
Photonics Media will host Dr. Robert R. Alfano, distinguished professor of science and engineering at The City College of the City University of New York, who will present major advances in optical biopsy and imaging spectroscopy. Alfano will discuss the key fingerprints to detect aggressive cancer cells; two new NIR spectral windows for imaging with less scattering of light in tissue; the use of upper singlet S2 for dyes to increase imaging depth using two-photon techniques; the use of spatial frequency spectra to detect structure in cancerous tissues and the brain; and, most of all, the use of supercontinuum – the ultimate white light – in biomedicine applications.
|
|
|
|
|
Primary topics include diagnostic imaging and detection with applications in cancer diagnostics, cardiovascular imaging, infectious disease, new techniques in microscopy and other emerging technique, analytical systems, MD perspectives, industry perspectives.
