Terahertz and optical coherence tomography for improved cancer imaging

该项目旨在通过结合两种互补的新技术来改善癌症成像。它的成功将使澳大利亚在光学和太赫兹生物医学成像的前沿研究方面处于国际领先地位。这项创新的基础研究将扩大澳大利亚在成像科学方面的研究能力。国家将受益于新的医疗诊断技术，这些技术将改善癌症的检测和治疗；同时也有助于烧伤的临床评估。这种多学科的国际合作研究在生物学、医学、制药科学和国家安全方面具有广泛的益处。

This project aims to improve cancer imaging by combining two complimentary, novel techniques. Its success will create an internationally leading position for Australia in cutting-edge research in optical and terahertz biomedical imaging. This innovative, fundamental research will expand Australia's research capacity in imaging sciences. The nation will benefit from new medical diagnostic techniques that will improve the detection and treatment of cancer; as well as aid the clinical assessment of burns. This multidisciplinary, internationally collaborative research has additional wide ranging benefits in biology, medicine, pharmaceutical science and national security.
