OPTICAL IMAGING USING TIME GATED SCATTERED LIGHT

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of time gated scattered light, for determining the location and composition of material within various organs of the human body. The systems and methods of the present invention provide for medical imaging in three dimensions of internal body structures for diagnostic purposes. Stationary and scanning fiber optic systems can be used to deliver laser radiation onto the object to be imaged and to collect the time gated information for image reconstruction.
