MacLean Professor of Engineering, Dartmouth Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Biomedical Optics, SPIE Press Imaging Medicine Abstract While the field of Medical Imaging is dominated by radiological devices, the field of Imaging Medicine today is dominated by optical devices. Optical imaging is commonly used at the point-of-care, where patient and physician are in the same room together. […]
UC Irvine Assoc. Professor Department of Chemical Engineering and Material Sciences Dynamic Materials Inspired By Cephalopods Abstract Cephalopods (squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish) have captivated the imagination of both the general public and scientists alike for more than a century due to their visually stunning camouflage displays, sophisticated nervous systems, and complex behavioral patterns. Given their […]
Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute at Columbia University Using Light to Image at the Speed of Life Abstract Light is uniquely capable of probing and changing the electron and vibrational energy levels of molecules. As a result, light can be used to spectrally discern a tissue’s chemical composition, excite […]
Professor at the University of St Andrews, Scotland Honorary Adjunct Professor at the Centre for Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona, USA, at Chiba University, Japan and IIT, Madras, India Shaped Light for the Future of Biomedical Imaging Abstract I will review recent progress in various aspects of biomedical imaging at St Andrews in […]
Department of Biomedical Engineering Department of Radiology University of Michigan School of Medicine Light plus Sound: Photoacoustic Imaging and Treatment Abstract Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), also referred to as optoacoustic imaging, is an emerging biomedical imaging technology that is noninvasive, nonionizing, with high sensitivity, satisfactory imaging depth and good temporal and spatial resolution. Like conventional optical […]
Michael J. Fitzpatrick Professor of Engineering in the Edmund T. Pratt School of Engineering Professor of Ophthalmology, and Program Director for Biophotonics at the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics at Duke University New Optical Technologies for Real-Time Biomedical Imaging and Image-Guided Surgery Abstract Cutting edge optical biomedical imaging technologies adaptively control optical wavefronts and exploit spatial […]
Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University Problem-based research shortens the pathway to to clinical translation of light-based technologies Abstract Medicine is a problem rich environment where there is a critical need for new solutions that ease the life of the patient, the physician and the caregiving staff. For at least some of these problems, […]
Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School Assistant Professor, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston Biological imaging with time domain fluorescence Abstract Molecular imaging combines the use of disease targeted contrast agents with advanced imaging techniques to visualize disease processes in whole living organisms from the small animal to the human scale. Optical techniques are emerging as promising tools […]
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University Designing Solutions to Healthcare Needs With Computational Biophotonics Abstract Computational biophotonics pairs optical system design with the development of intelligent algorithms to extract meaningful data from interrogated tissues (often via an unintuitive computational image). With the recent dramatic advances in deep learning tools, there are many exciting […]
Assistant Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School Non-invasive Biophotonics for Personalized Medicine Abstract Personalized or precision medicine is an emerging paradigm in health care delivery that seeks to tailor medical treatment to the individual characteristics, needs and preferences of each patient. Biophotonic technologies are likely to play a significant role in realizing the benefits […]
