Combining Coherent Imaging and Nonlinear Microscopy for Early-Stage Cancer Detection

Abstract

Optical imaging is an attractive tool for medical diagnostics, as it is capable of imaging structures inside living tissue at much higher resolution than e.g. ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. Due to this high resolution, optical techniques enable the detection of small, disease-related changes in tissue morphology. The present gold standard for diagnosing cancer development is through histopathology, which requires painful and invasive biopsies to be taken at sometimes random locations, and has a significant risk of missing small early-stage tumors. Optical imaging enables fast and noninvasive tissue screening, achieving high resolution and contrast without the need for biopsies.
