What is biomedical? What is optics?
The category that has more advantages-- optical imaging or other radiological imaging technologies.
What is optical imaging?
The most widely recognized type of optical imaging.
What is endoscopy?
The reason as to why this type of imaging is used.
What is to provide enhanced medical information for doctors monitoring diseases or researchers working on expiriments?
Optical Imaging most useful for this.
What is visualizing soft tissues in the eye?
The technique for obtaining sub-surface images that is well developed.
What is OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)?
Optical imaging take advantage of this in order to see and measure different properties.
What is various colors of light?
The type of radiation that is used.
What is non-ionizing radiation?
The type of optical imaging that involves laser pulses being delivered to the patient's tissues.
What is Photoacoustic Imaging?
Unlike x-rays, optical imaging uses visible light and this to non-invasively look at the body.
The types of light used for optical imaging.
What are visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light?
