The focus of this IAS Masterclass will be on advances in instrumentation for biomedical optical imaging. We will see how improvements in fibre optics, wavelength-swept lasers and miniature optical components improve the resolution, acquisition speed and signal to noise ratio of single fibre endoscopy, confocal micro-endoscopy and optical coherence tomography.
We will begin with a case-study, demonstrating how these imaging technologies can be integrated into research projects in the fields of laryngology and head and neck surgery. We will then review the basic principles behind optical imaging and investigate how each component may be optimized to allow successful translation from the optics lab to the operating room. Participants will have the opportunity to present their research, and explore how to integrate endoscopic confocal imaging and optical coherence tomography into their projects. This class will be of interest to students from any discipline in the physical, biological or medical sciences who wish to understand the new opportunities in high resolution endoscopic optical imaging.
Caroline Boudoux, PhD, Ing. Jr., received a BSc in Engineering Physics from Université Laval (2001). She then pursued graduate studies in biomedical optics at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. She obtained a PhD (2007) for her work on spectrally encoded confocal microscopy under the joint supervision of Brett E. Bouma and Guillermo J. Tearney. She then moved to Paris to study coherent control applied to nonlinear microscopy at École Polytechnique (France) under Emmanuel Beaurepaire and Manuel Joffre before joining the Engineering Physics department of École Polytechnique of Montréal in 2007 as an assistant professor. She is a faculty member of the Biomedical Engineering Institute as well as a researcher at Hôpital Sainte-Justine, Montreal’s Mother and Child Hospital.
