Journal ArticleDOI
Photonic detection of bacterial pathogens in living hosts
Christopher H. Contag,Pamela R. Contag,James I. Mullins,James I. Mullins,Stanley D. Spilman,David K. Stevenson,David A. Benaron +6 more
TL;DR: This paper developed a method for detecting bacterial pathogens in a living host and used this method to evaluate disease processes for strains of Salmonella typhimurium that differ in their virulence for mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visualizing gene expression in living mammals using a bioluminescent reporter.
Christopher H. Contag,Stanley D. Spilman,Pamela R. Contag,Masafumi Oshiro,Brian Eames,Phyllis A. Dennery,David K. Stevenson,David A. Benaron +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that gene regulation, DNA delivery and expression can now be noninvasively monitored in living mammals using a luciferase reporter, and real‐time, noninvasive study of gene expression in living animal models for human development and disease is possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical time-of-flight and absorbance imaging of biologic media
TL;DR: Model measurements confirmed TOFA principles in systems with a high degree of photon scattering; rat images, which were constructed from the variable time delays experienced by a fixed fraction of early-arriving transmitted photons, revealed identifiable internal structure.
Patent
Tissue interrogating device and methods
TL;DR: A tool for non-destructive interrogation of the tissue including a light source emitter and detector which may be mounted directly on the surgical tool in a tissue contacting surface for interrogation or mounted remotely and guided to the surgical field with fiber optic cables is described in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive Functional Imaging of Human Brain Using Light

TL;DR: In this paper, photon transit time for low-power light passing into the head, and through both skull and brain, of human subjects allowed for tomographic imaging of cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation based on photon diffusion theory.
