With the goal of developing more accurate, efficient, non-invasive and fast diagnostic tools,
the use of near-infrared (NIR) light in the range of the second and third biological windows …

The development of probes for biomolecular imaging and diagnostics is a very active
research area. Among the different imaging modalities, optics emerged since it is a …

Neutrophils and monocytes belong to the first line of immune defence cells and are recruited
to sites of inflammation during infection or sterile injury. Both cells contain huge amounts of …

Although modern techniques such as two-photon microscopy can now provide cellular-level
three-dimensional imaging of the intact living brain, the speed and fields of view of these …

This review is aimed at presenting the state-of-the-art of time domain (TD) functional near-
infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). We first introduce the physical principles, the basics of …

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is an emerging medical imaging modality that combines optical
excitation and ultrasound detection. Because ultrasound scatters much less than light in …

This review describes the unique opportunities and challenges for noninvasive optical
mapping of human brain function. Diffuse optical methods offer safe, portable, and radiation …

Cancer is an aggressive disease involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade
other parts of the body. Despite intense interest from clinicians and biomedical researchers …

Real‐time in vivo detection of cancer via attenuation‐based plain X‐ray imaging is proposed
to fundamentally overcome the penetration depth limits of current fluorescence‐based …

In addition to individual imaging techniques, the combination and integration of several
imaging techniques, so-called multimodal imaging, can provide large amounts of …
