Abstract :
Life sciences applications require imaging in different modalities, e.g., fluorescence, positron imaging, near-IR, with higher sensitivity, higher speed, and smaller form factor. This session includes two papers that achieve significant milestones in fluorescence lifetime imaging with low picosecond resolution. Two other papers describe advances in positron emission tomography and functional near-IR medical imaging. Another major accomplishment is the demonstration of time-correlated photon counting with 14GS/S throughput. Finally, an intriguing technique for improving CMRR in neural recording, an enabling multi-modal cell-based drug screening assay platform, and a consumer-oriented ultrasound body fat sensor, enable advances in their respective fields.
