Abstract: |
In the present work, the details of a combined MR-diffuse optical imaging system for dynamic contrast enhanced imaging of cancer are given. As a part of this effort, a multi-spectral diffuse optical tomography system was integrated with an MRI system. The integration of the optical imaging system with the 4T MRI system was realized by incorporating a fiber adaptive interface inside the MR magnet. Coregistration was achieved by a special probe design utilizing fiducial markers. A dynamic phantom was developed and used to test the performance of the system. Human and animal studies are currently being undertaken to assess the performance of the system in-vivo. |
