The project is devoted to development of nano-micro optical fiber needle endoscope for small invasive imaging and therapy. Prof. Douplik's lab (Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU); formerly Ryerson University) will develop a novel technology including both hardware and software for controlled thermal-mechanical tapering/thinning of optical fibers to nano-micro size lightguides. This innovative technology will have applications for both medical diagnostics and laser ablation. Prof. Chormaic's group (Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, OIST, Japan) will contribute developing diagnostic sensors based on the nano-micro size optical fibers including multi-core imaging scopes. Prof. Kakihana's group (Kagoshima University, Japan) will contribute testing and developing applications for novel medical-theranostic tools based on nano-micro optical fibers. Intellectual property in forms of inventions, patents and publications are expected as a deliverable of such cooperation. The project aims to provide unique training opportunities for HQP, with tangible benefits for the Canadian healthcare system.

本项目致力于开发用于小创伤成像和治疗的纳米微光纤针状内窥镜。Douplik教授实验室（多伦多城市大学）；（原瑞尔森大学）将开发一种新技术，包括硬件和软件，用于控制热机械变细/变薄的光纤到纳米微尺寸的光导。这项创新技术将应用于医学诊断和激光消融。Chormaic教授的团队（冲绳科学技术研究所，OIST，日本）将致力于开发基于纳米-微米尺寸光纤的诊断传感器，包括多芯成像范围。Kakihana教授的小组（日本鹿儿岛大学）将为基于纳米微光纤的新型医疗治疗工具的测试和开发应用做出贡献。这种合作的成果包括发明、专利和出版物等形式的知识产权。该项目旨在为HQP提供独特的培训机会，为加拿大医疗保健系统带来切实的好处。
