Improvements in source technology are likely to dominate developments in instrumentation. The development of new laser diodes has had a major impact on systems designed for diffuse optical imaging, and further improvements in the technology are anticipated. Higher power will allow increased penetration and faster image acquisition. Significant improvements can be expected from a combination of better theoretical understanding of the optimal combinations of wavelengths for a particular application, and the availability of sources at a wider range of wavelengths.

  • Improvements in source technology are likely to dominate developments in instrumentation. The development of new laser diodes has had a major impact on systems designed for diffuse optical imaging, and further improvements in the technology are anticipated. Higher power will allow increased penetration and faster image acquisition. Significant improvements can be expected from a combination of better theoretical understanding of the optimal combinations of wavelengths for a particular application, and the availability of sources at a wider range of wavelengths. Molecular imaging is a developing application for diffuse optical imaging techniques, driven partly by the rapid progress which has been made in the development of new dyes and molecular markers which bind to specific molecular targets. Rapid growth in this area is likely to continue both for fundamental scientific research and as mechanisms for evaluating new therapies. Optical imaging is well placed to form an intrinsic role in molecular imaging especially with the availability of novel, specifically targeted, efficient molecular beacons. In particular, quantum dots can act as highly efficient fluorophores whose optical and biochemical characteristics can be finely controlled (Salata 2004, Kim et al. 2004). New femtosecond laser sources and faster detectors (Steinmeyer 2003) may lead to optical imaging systems designed specifically for small animal imaging.
