Purdue University scientists have created a new imaging technology that uses lasers, holograms and special detectors to allow “visual fly-throughs” of a living tumor.
The technology may lead to a new kind of medical imaging based on light instead of tissue-damaging X-rays, according to the Purdue researchers.
The technique, called optical coherence imaging, could have numerous uses, including diagnostic imaging for medicine and industry, the Purdue team said.
It might allow scientists to study how live tumors behave in real time and even watch how the tumors react to experimental drugs.
