Optical Technology Advances Non-Invasive Functional Imaging of the Human Brain

20 April, 2018 Biophotonics.World

A team of researchers at Wright State University has demonstrated for the first time that optical blood flow contrast measured by Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy (DCS) can be used to detect Resting State Functional Connectivity (RSFC) in the human brain. RSFC indicates spont...

NUS scientists develop novel chip for fast and accurate disease detection at low cost

18 April, 2018 Biophotonics.World

Innovative microfluidic chip uses only standard lab microscope to spot nano-biomolecules without any fluorescent labels. A novel invention by a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) holds promise for a faster and cheaper way to diagnose diseases with high accuracy. Pro...
New light-sheet technique probes deeper into turbid samples

16 April, 2018 Kishan Dholakia

A new method of using light to scan the human body, developed by researchers at the University of St Andrews, could result in less intrusive and more effective diagnosis for patients. The new technique allows the light to be shaped so it can reach greater depths within biological tissue: ...

Accurate Blood Counting Without User Training

19 March, 2018 Biophotonics.World

The complete blood count (CBC) is one of the most commonly ordered clinical laboratory tests. It provides doctors with red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) counts, platelet counts, and hemoglobin concentration. The CBC can help diagnose blood illnesses such as anemia or leukemia, as w...

Noninvasive Optical Sensors Provide Real-Time Brain Monitoring After Stroke

15 March, 2018 Biophotonics.World

Each year, nearly 800,000 people in the U.S. experience a stroke, and almost 90 percent of those are ischemic strokes in which a clot cuts off blood flow to part of the brain. To prevent further injury, blood flow to the brain must be restored as quickly as possible. In a new study, researchers show...
