The Biomedical Photonic Imaging (BMPI) group investigates the use of light for biomedical purposes. The final aim is to develop optical and hybrid optical-acoustical technologies for medical diagnosis, in particular in the fields of oncology, rheumatology and wound healing. Physiological properties of primary interest are aremicrocirculatory blood flow, hemoglobin concentrations, and blood oxygenation. The approaches include physical research into light-tissue interaction and its measurement, biomedical engineering to realize suitable instrumentation for in-vivo use, and clinical evaluation together with several medical partners. |
