Scientists at Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam developing a real-time scanner that will create a full image of a moving eye without any blurring, have teamed up with photonics hub ACTPHAST 4R for help progressing their scanner concept to a demonstrator stage to acquire data faster than existing optical imaging technologies.
The lead researcher on this breakthrough development, Assistant Professor Imran Avci from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at VU Amsterdam, said: “Diagnoses of eye diseases that could lead to blindness require good quality images at an early stage. Eye abnormalities can be so very subtle in the early phase that standard OCT can miss these tiny changes. Because our eyes are constantly moving to refresh the visual input, even at a microscopic level, it makes eye imaging very difficult without having blurred images. Our scanner is different: with the data acquired fast enough, the overall goal is to have a real-time imagin

Researchers show how optoacoustics can be used for monitoring skin water content
Researchers from Skoltech and the University of Texas Medical Branch (US) have shown how optoacoustics can be used for monitoring skin water content, a technique which is promising for medical applications such as tissue trauma management and in cosmetology. The paper outlining these results was published in the
Journal of Biophotonics.
(swelling caused by fluid accumulation) or dehydration, which can also have cosmetic impacts. Right now, electrical, mechanical and spectroscopic methods can be used to monitor water content in tissues, but there is no accurate and noninvasive technique that would also provide a high resolution and significant probing depth required for potential clinical applications.
