Polarimetric measurements of terahertz scattering can detect subtle changes in tissue architecture that result from disease or damage. For example, terahertz measurements demonstrated signal contrast ...

Among the various optics-based tools used in diagnostics, diffuse optics (DO) is rapidly emerging as one of the most attractive technologies. The technique is based on analyzing how light is absorbed ...

A team of scientists from Harvard Medical School and Duke University has created a new kind of tissue that can change heart activity using only light—no wires, no surgery, no harm. This groundbreaking ...

A fluorescence microscopy variant developed by ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich could help overcome issues of light scattering in deep-brain microangiography. As published in Optica, the ...

A new imaging technique developed by scientists at MIT, Harvard University, and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) aims to illuminate cellular structures in deep tissue and other dense and opaque ...
