We are here to innovate medical imaging.

About us

We are developing an innovative light sensing solution, a fast gated, ultra-high quantum efficiency single-photon sensor, to enable multifunctional deep body imaging with diffuse optics. With our Multifunctional Optical Tomograph (MOT) we will be able to image deep organ and optical structures and monitor body functions including oxygenation, haemodynamics, perfusion and metabolism.

  • 🙌 Great news from the fastMOT project: A new paper titled "𝗢𝘅𝘆𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟭𝟬𝟲𝟰 𝗻𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁" has just been published as an early access record on the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics! 👉 More info and download: https://lnkd.in/e78rRPvs 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁: While standard optical oximetry systems make use of two/more wavelengths across the isosbestic point of oxy/deoxyhemoglobin and between 650 and 900 nm, this work explores the possibility to use only light at 1064 nm wavelength to detect the absolute oxyhemoglobin concentration in tissues using timedomain diffuse optics. Furthermore, the possibility to exploit a 1064 nm wavelength coupled with wavelengths of classical approaches is also discussed. Our findings demonstrate a reasonable overlap of the new approaches as compared to the standard one, with confined discrepancies potentially linked to a not established agreement in the scientific community on the exact value of extinction coefficients of tissue constituents beyond 1000 nm, as well as to an increased penetration depth in the tissue at 1064 nm due to a lower scattering coefficient as compared to the visible range. These findings open the way to further studies in the field, also given the increasing advancements in lasers and detectors at 1064 nm.

    👉 Did you miss this week's Laserlab-Europe Talk on ‘Next generation time-domain diffuse optics using superconducting nanowire detectors’ by Lisa Kobayashi Frisk, PhD (ICFO)?   💡 Watch the recording: https://lnkd.in/eKX3sVME   🎬 Watch all previous Laserlab-Europe Talks on our YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/eHTvBdiw   💡 Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (#DCS) is an established diffuse optical method which non-invasively measures regional, microvascular blood flow from laser speckles. Although the utility of DCS has been demonstrated in clinical trials relating to a variety of clinical conditions, limited signal to noise have restricted the use of DCS to measure, for example, through hair or blood flow in very deeper tissue. Recently, another diffuse optical technique closely related to DCS, speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (#SCOS), has been gaining interest due to its ability to overcome the limitations of DCS by measuring laser speckle intensity statistics using detector arrays. In this talk, I will discuss advances made to push the boundaries of DCS and SCOS techniques by using pulsed lasers at longer wavelengths (beyond 1000 nm) and state-of-the art superconducting nanowire arrays. 💡 ICFO is partner of the EIC Pathfinder project fastMOT. The project aims to develop an innovative light sensing solution, a fast gated, ultra-high quantum efficiency single-photon sensor, to enable multifunctional deep body imaging with diffuse optics. With its Multifunctional Optical Tomograph (MOT) the project partners will be able to image deep organ and optical structures and monitor body functions including oxygenation, haemodynamics, perfusion and metabolism.
