Advanced Imaging Technique Enhances Deep Tissue Visualization

MIT researchers have developed a new noninvasive metabolic imaging technique that significantly enhances the depth and speed of imaging in living tissues without the need for preprocessing like staining or cutting. This method uses a specialized laser and a fiber shaper to penetrate deeper into tissues, providing clearer and more detailed images. The technique is particularly useful for applications in cancer research, tissue engineering, and drug discovery, allowing scientists to study metabolic dynamics in living systems more effectively.
