At Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU), an innovative approach to three-dimensional internal visualization has been developed. This method detects inhomogeneities in the structure of various objects 3–5 times better than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray. This was reported by the university's press service.
Scientists have proposed a comprehensive improvement of existing optical coherence tomography technologies for use in medicine and industry. They optimized the setup and signal processing methods.
Our method will allow us to check and reject parts of optical and optoelectronic systems at an early stage of production, which will reduce costs. In biology, the new approach will allow monitoring the growth of cells in living organisms in real time or visualizing the delivery and action of drugs inside tissues.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Moscow is creating a unified network of diagnostic medical devices — from MRI to mammographs.
