Research
in optical imaging is focused on the development and use of advanced
optical instrumentation for biomedical applications. Major research
work is ongoing in areas related to the development of advanced
optical microscopes, optical endoscopes, optical tomography, and
multi-modality imaging. The Department of Radiology and the College
of Optical Sciences maintain a close and synergistic relationship
whose primary aim is to advance
the successfull

Personnel
- Graduate
Training in Biomedical Imaging & Spectroscopy
- Description
- This grant supports students in a graduate
training program in biomedical imaging and
spectroscopy at the University of Arizona.
Students for this program will be recruited
from the Optical Sciences Center, the Interdisciplinary
Program in Biomedical Engineering, and the
Physiological Sciences program.
- Sponsor
- Diagnosis of Oviarian Cancer by Confocal Microendoscopy
- Description
- The aim of this project is to develop a screening
too for the early detection of ovarian cancer
with the capability of diagnosing microscopic
cancers or areas of abnormality in the ovary
using minimally invasive surgical access.
- Sponsor
- Ultra-Miniature Multi-Modal Endoscopes
- Description
- The objective of this research is to build
a multimodal endoscope that has both fluorescence
and color reflectance imaging capability in
a small diameter endoscope for imaging mouse
esophagus.
