Diffuse Optical Imaging (DOI)
Diffuse optical imaging (DOI) is a non-invasive technique used to measure biological tissue at a depth of up to several centimeters. It utilises light in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum to detect changes in tissue stress and metabolic activity. These changes are then interpreted to provide information about the internal structure of the tissue and underlying functions. DOI has a wide range of applications, from medical diagnostics to environmental monitoring. It can provide valuable information for a variety of medical conditions, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Additionally, DOI is able to detect structural changes in plants and animals during development, allowing for better understanding of genetic mechanisms. Furthermore, it can be used to monitor the health of water bodies and detect subtle changes in water quality. These benefits make DOI a powerful and versatile tool for healthcare and environmental research.
