— Existing high-resolution human brain imaging modalities such as X-ray computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are expensive and employ bulky and generally non-portable imaging equipment. Moreover, X-ray CT is unsafe for patients who need long time monitoring of brain diseases …

— This technology features a photon recycler to increase light transmittance through the human skull, a subtraction imaging method to image targets through human skull, and a filtering method to improve the contrast. Optical imaging is desirable because high functional hemoglobin contrast can be dire…
