Optical Imaging Market: Beyond the Surface
Optical imaging is a non-invasive imaging technique used to look inside the body. It uses light and special properties of photons to obtain detailed images of organs, tissues, cells, and even molecules. It significantly reduces a patient’s exposure to harmful ionizing radiations like X-rays. Non-ionizing radiation includes visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light. Optical imaging techniques are especially used to visualize soft tissues due to their ability to absorb and scatter light. The different optical imaging techniques include endoscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), photoacoustic imaging, Raman spectroscopy, and super-resolution microscopy.
The latest advancements in the medical device sector due to the developments in technology boost the market. The growing demand for patient health and the prevalence of chronic and ocular disorders augment the market.
Optical Imaging Market Trends
- In October 2024, a St. John’s faculty member was awarded a $745,000 grant from the National Institute of Health to enhance image-guided, surgical accuracy during the removal of brain tumors. The project is focused on developing nano-based optical imaging agents and evaluating their potential in brain imaging.
- In October 2024, BeeKeeperAI, Inc. and Topcon Healthcare, Inc. announced a collaboration to detect and manage eye diseases. The collaboration was made to combine Topcon’s digital health information platform and BeeKeeperAI’s EscrowAI software to compute and analyze eye imaging data more easily.
- In February 2024, Philips launched LumiGuide, a new imaging technology, to enable doctors to navigate through blood vessels using light instead of X-ray.
