Hybrid Optical-Ultrasonic Technique for Biomedical Diagnostics

Year: 2008

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: We report the development of a diagnostic system combining time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and ultrasound backscatter microscopy and its application in diagnosis of tumors and atherosclerotic disease. This system allows for concurrent evaluation of distinct compositional, functional, and micro-anatomical features of normal and diseased tissues.
