The Biomedical Optics Program

Medical lasers in surgery

Laser machining biomaterials

Computer simulations

Phototherapy killing cancer cells

Developing uses of lasers and light in medicine and biology.

Biomedical Optics has two major areas:

(1) where tissue affects photons
used for diagnostic sensing, imaging, and spectroscopy of tissues and biomaterials,

(2) where photons affect tissue,
used for surgical and therapeutic cutting, dissecting, machining, processing, coagulating, welding, and oxidizing tissues and biomaterials.

   where optical imaging resources available to our OHSU community are outlined.

Link to the Oregon Medical Laser Center,
   where resources (databases, software, etc.) for Biomedical Optics are available.
