Definice a Význam "diffuse optical imaging"

What is "diffuse optical imaging"?

Diffuse optical imaging is a medical imaging technique that uses light to create images of tissues inside the body. It works by sending light into the tissue and measuring how it is spread and absorbed. This technique can help view and evaluate the characteristics of tissues, such as blood flow and oxygen levels, which is useful for diagnosing and monitoring various conditions. Diffuse optical imaging does not involve any surgery or needles and is often used in research and clinical settings to study brain function, cancer, and other medical conditions.
