Previously top-secret technology allows imaging of whole body organs down to cellular level: Presented at the peer-reviewed 2015 Annual Meeting of the Orthopaedic Research Society in Las Vegas
A UNSW Australia collaboration that uses previously top-secret technology to zoom through the human body down to the level of a single cell could be a game-changer for medicine, an international research conference in the United States has been told.
The imaging technology, developed by high-tech German optical and industrial measurement manufacturer Zeiss, was originally developed to scan silicon wafers for defects.
UNSW Professor Melissa Knothe Tate, the Paul Trainor Chair of Biomedical Engineering, is leading the project, using semiconductor technology to explore osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
