Summary

How can we efficiently collect light returning from tissues while also identifying what it tells us about blood flow in the deeper tissues? Conventional interferometric near-infrared spectroscopy (iNIRS) can distinguish signals according to the amount of time that light takes to travel through tissue, but it collects only a few photons. Camera-based systems capture many more photons, but this distinction is not realized when living tissue changes rapidly. Researchers associated with ICTER combined both approaches in a hybrid system.
