French researchers from the Institut Langevin have developed new technology to see-through opaque surfaces. According to PSFK, "The scientists used a laser, a digital camera and a projector to extract images from light passing through a solid surface by interpreting how the surface makes the light scatter."
What these Institut Langevin researchers have discovered could potentially replace X-ray and ultrasound technology in medical procedures.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Opaque Surfaces Imaging
- Innovative technology that can extract images from light passing through solid surfaces has the potential to disrupt medical imaging.
- Alternative Medical Imaging
- The use of visible light x-rays as an alternative to traditional x-ray and ultrasound technology offers a new opportunity for disruptive innovation in the medical industry.
- Laser-based Imaging
- The use of lasers to extract images from opaque surfaces is a trend in imaging technology that could have significant impact across multiple industries.
Where This Applies
