MIT Develops Noninvasive Imaging Method for Deeper Tissue Penetration
2024-12-13
MIT researchers have developed a novel noninvasive imaging technique that more than doubles the depth limit of metabolic imaging. Using high-powered lasers and a specialized fiber shaper, the method minimizes light scattering, allowing for clearer and faster imaging of living tissue. This label-free approach avoids tissue preprocessing, providing a more natural representation of cellular structures and functions. The increased depth penetration and speed promise significant advancements in cancer research, tissue engineering, drug discovery, and immunology.
