Optical And X-Ray Technology Synergies Enabling Diagnostic And Therapeutic Applications In Medicine, Brian W. Pogue, Brian C. Wilson
Optical And X-Ray Technology Synergies Enabling Diagnostic And Therapeutic Applications In Medicine, Brian W. Pogue, Brian C. Wilson
Dartmouth Scholarship
X-ray and optical technologies are the two central pillars for human imaging and therapy. The strengths of x-rays are deep tissue penetration, effective cytotoxicity, and the ability to image with robust projection and computed-tomography methods. The major limitations of x-ray use are the lack of molecular specificity and the carcinogenic risk. In comparison, optical interactions with tissue are strongly scatter dominated, leading to limited tissue penetration, making imaging and therapy largely restricted to superficial or endoscopically directed tissues. However, optical photon energies are comparable with molecular energy levels, thereby providing the strength of intrinsic molecular specificity. Additionally, optical technologies are …
