Optical Tomography and Spectroscopy (OT&S)

Focuses on new developments in non-invasive optical tomography and spectroscopy, including the fields of diffuse optical tomography (DOT) and spectroscopy (DOS), diffuse correlation tomography (DCT) and spectroscopy (DCS), photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and spectroscopy (PAS), laser speckle imaging, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence imaging, wavefront engineering to overcome scattering, as well as on novel biophotonics developments in pre-clinical and clinical applicat

Such developments will also include a specific focus on diagnostic and treatment-monitoring capabilities derived from probing tissues at the macroscopic level, as well as the development of portable and low-cost instrumentation.

Example topics central to this meeting are novel instrumentation, data analysis algorithms, pre-clinical and clinical applications highlighting the validation and applicability of novel methods and concepts. This meeting is unique in that it brings together researchers working at all levels of this multidisciplinary effort and has historically provided the ecosystem feeding other more specialized areas and applications.
