Optical imaging was performed using a Kodak FX Pro multispectral fluorescence reflectance imaging device (Carestream Molecular Imaging, Rochester, NY, USA).
Studies at the Y-TRIC focus on multi-modality imaging, molecular imaging and cardiovascular device development.
The expanding number of hybrid imaging devices and molecular imaging probes has implications for clinical practice, staff training, image and data analysis, and the way we perform research and clinical studies in oncology.
The Clark Center is home to approximately one half of the Radiology 3D Imaging Laboratory, the Molecular Imaging Lab, and the small animal imaging, which offers a full complement of small animal imaging and surgical devices, one floor below Dr. Sam Gambhir's Molecular imaging Laboratory.
In the field of γ-ray application, single-channel device for per-operative probes and small 2-D imager for molecular imaging are the most promising ones.
Upcoming developments, including whole organ microscopy, swallowable microscopy capsules, molecular imaging, and very high resolution microscopic devices, are in the pipeline and will likely revolutionize how disease is diagnosed and how medicine is practiced in the future.
Diagnostic technologies are increasing in scope, including advanced imaging techniques, new molecular imaging agents, and sophisticated point-of-use devices.
LightPath's development marks the first time that this technology has been approved and built into a medical device for intra-operative molecular imaging.
To help cancer patients and their surgeons beat the odds, medical device company Lightpoint Medical Ltd. has teamed up with product development firm Sagentia to develop the LightPath™ Imaging System, the world's first intra-operative molecular imaging system.
