EAGER: Smart Phone Platform for Personal High-Resolution 3D Optical Imaging

PI：波帕特，斯蒂芬研究所：伊利诺伊大学香槟分校Proposal：1445111 EAGER：用于个人高分辨率3D光学成像的智能手机平台这一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，该项目中的技术和创新将实现新颖的移动健康应用和能力，使普通公众以及我们世界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。这项技术针对耳朵和皮肤中的一些非常常见的疾病，将作为一种早期发现疾病的手段。此外，在处方治疗后，它将用于监测疾病的消退或进展。本项目将设计和开发一个智能手机平台，使个人能够进行高分辨率的3D光学成像。除了目前每部智能手机上都有的用于摄影的传统CCD摄像头外，该平台还将实现基于光学相干层析成像(OCT)的低成本、紧凑和便携的光学成像系统。这款拥有独特光学元件的自给式手持设备将利用智能手机光源和摄像头，以及车载处理和无线通信硬件。该团队将开发一种新的高分辨率3D光学成像平台，旨在集成到下一代个人智能手机中。这个基于低相干光干涉测量的平台在OCT中经常使用，因此不仅在OCT建立的医学和生物发展道路上有广泛的应用，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，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.
