Real-time, 3-D microscopic tissue imaging could be a revolution for medical fields such as cancer diagnosis, minimally invasive surgery and ophthalmology. University of Illinois researchers have developed a technique to computationally correct for aberrations in optical tomography, bringing the future of medical imaging into focus. Aberrations in imaging can make points appear as slashes or blurs. Click on image to see image corrected by computational adaptive optics developed by U. of I. researchers.
