Objective(s): Nanomaterials are playing major roles in imaging by delivering large imaging payloads, yielding improved sensitivity. Nanoparticles have enabled significant advances in pre-clinical cancer research as drug delivery vectors. Inorganic nanoparticles such as CdO/GrO nanoparticles have novel optical properties that can be used to optimize the signal-to-background ratio. This paper rep...

Aetna considers in-vivo analysis of colorectal polyps (e.g., chromoendoscopy, confocal laser [fluorescent] endomicroscopy [including Cellvizio probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy], endocytoscopy, EVIS EXERA 160A System, fiberoptic analysis, multi-band imaging, narrow-band imaging optical chromocolonoscopy, Optical Biopsy System, Pentax Confocal Laser System, and WavSTATTM Optical Biopsy S...

In this study, a design methodology for a multi-optical probe confocal imaging system was developed. To develop an imaging system that has the required resolving power and imaging area, this study focused on a design methodology to create a scalable and easy-to-implement confocal imaging system. This system overcomes the limitations of the optical complexities of conventional multi-optical prob...

Optical imaging techniques use visual and near infrared rays. Despite their considerably poor penetration depth, they are widely used due to their safe and intuitive properties and potential for intraoperative usage. Optical imaging techniques have been actively investigated for clinical imaging of lymph nodes and lymphatic system. This article summarizes a variety of optical tracers and techni...

Introduction : Multi-modality imaging is becoming a trend in developing new generation in vivo imaging techniques for diagnosis [1]. MRI is a high resolution imaging modality, while optical imaging provides essential functional information such as oxygen saturation in the diseased tissue. In addition, when the contrast agent is administrated, the sensitivity and specificity for each imaging com...
