What Are the Benefits of Optical Imaging in Cancer Diagnosis?
Optical imaging offers several advantages in the context of cancer diagnosis:
- Non-Invasive: Most optical imaging techniques are non-invasive, reducing the need for surgical biopsies. - Real-Time Imaging: Provides real-time visualization, allowing for immediate assessment during procedures. - High Resolution: Delivers high-resolution images that can reveal cellular and sub-cellular structures. - Targeted Imaging: Specific dyes and markers can be used to target and highlight cancer cells specifically.
