项目名称：Boppart， stepheninstitution: University of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignProposal: 1445111热切希望：个人高分辨率3D光学成像智能手机平台本研究项目的成功成果将对我们社会的许多领域产生深远而广泛的影响。最重要的是，该项目的技术和创新将使新的移动保健应用程序和功能成为可能，从而使公众以及世界上农村或发展中地区的人们能够进行更复杂的个性化健康监测。这项技术，对于一些非常常见的疾病在耳朵和皮肤，将作为一种手段，早期发现的疾病。此外，在规定治疗后，它将用于监测疾病的消退或进展。该项目将设计和开发一个智能手机平台，实现个人高分辨率3D光学成像。除了目前智能手机中用于摄影的传统CCD相机外，该平台还将实现基于光学相干断层扫描（OCT）的低成本、紧凑和便携式光学成像系统。这种独立的手持设备具有一套独特的光学元件，将利用智能手机光源和摄像头，以及其机载处理和无线通信硬件。该小组将开发一种新型的高分辨率3D光学成像平台，旨在集成到下一代个人智能手机中。这个基于低相干干涉测量的平台经常用于OCT，因此不仅沿着OCT建立的医学和生物学发展道路将有广泛的应用，而且由于该技术的紧凑，便携，低成本和几乎无处不在的性质，它还将有更多的其他应用。

PI: Boppart, StephenInstituation: University of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignProposal: 1445111EAGER: Smart Phone Platform for Personal High-Resolution 3D Optical ImagingThe successful outcome of this research project will have a far-reaching and broad impact on many segments of our society. Most significantly, the technology and innovation in this project will enable novel mobile health applications and capabilities that will enable more sophisticated personalized health monitoring for the general public as well as for those in rural or developing regions of our world. This technology, for a number of very common diseases in the ear and skin, will serve as a means for early detection of disease. In addition, after treatment has been prescribed, it will serve for monitoring of the regression or progression of the disease.This project will design and develop a smart phone platform that enables personal high-resolution 3D optical imaging. In addition to the traditional CCD cameras currently found in every smart phone and used for photography, this platform will implement a low-cost, compact, and portable optical imaging system based on optical coherence tomography (OCT). This self-contained handheld device with a unique set of optical elements will utilize the smart phone light source and camera, as well as its on-board processing and wireless communication hardware. This group will develop a novel high-resolution 3D optical imaging platform designed for integration into the next-generation of personal smart phones. This platform which is based on low-coherence interferometry is regularly utilized in OCT, and therefore will have widespread applications not only along the medical and biological development paths established by OCT, but also a larger number of other applications because of the compact, portable, low-cost, and virtually ubiquitous nature of the technology.
