Anti-Scattering Optical and Opto-Acoustic Methods

Develop novel optical and opto-acoustic techniques that reduce scattering, enabling deep-tissue imaging without expensive MRI. These methods aim to improve resolution and enable whole-brain activity mapping as well as cost-effective “body scanners” for diagnostics.

Light Scattering in Living Tissue Prevents Optical Access to Deeper Regions

Biophysics
Living tissue exhibits strong light scattering, which hampers deep-tissue imaging and limits resolution. Overcoming this barrier is critical for mapping neural activity and enabling noninvasive diagnostic imaging.
