Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique allowing a detailed internal view of body structures. A CT measures X-ray attenuations by different tissues inside the body by using a rotating X-ray tube and …
Fluorescence imaging is often used in a light microscopy setting and revolved around the use of either autofluorescent properties of the sample or fluorescent marker molecules. Hereby, specific wavelengths of an excitation source (lamp, LED …
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and …
When a laser beam is shined into tissue, the absorption of light causes a thermal expansion of the surrounding tissue, which in turn generates a shock wave. This phenomenon is known as the photoacoustic effect. …
