Advanced Optical Technologies for Defense Trauma and Critical Care

Abstract

This report covers a Center grant comprised of nine project areas focused on developing advanced photonic systems for acute care and trauma medicine. All nine projects share common objectives in developing either diagnostic, therapeutic, and/or analytical photonic tools that are of interest to military and civilian medicine and that help solve complex problems of emerging national need. The projects outlined in the report include: Development of High Speed Functional OCT Airway Injury, Part I: An In Vitro Model of Toxic Gas Exposure Airway Injury, Part II: High Resolution Fiberoptic F-OCT Imaging in Acute Inhalation Injury. Airway Injury, Part III: High Resolution F-OCT and MPM/SHG Imaging of the Oral-Nasal Cavity Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy in Critical Patient Medicine, Optical Therapeutics in Cartilage for the Treatment of Traumatic Injuries and Degenerative Disease, Advanced Optical Technologies for Orthopedic Applications.
