Title:

Method And Device For Phase Contrast Optical Tomography

Case # 276
Inventors: Huabei Jiang
Summary: The basis of the invention is an algorithm that can generate a map of human tissue from light scattering/absorption data using known tomographic techniques. This is a noninvasive technique and does not expose a subject to damaging radiation. The data, or resultant map, precisely identify and localize different types of tissue, such that extremely small malignant tumors can be identified/located in a mass of "normal" tissue. The method is useful in a variety of clinical settings, breast cancer diagnosis is a prime example.
Applications: Applications world wide in hospitals, radiological labs, clinics and probably imaging companies currently producing X-ray and CAT scan or related equipment.
