09 Mar 1998

Interpreting images that might contain tumours can be difficult. Biological tissue contains a variety of fluids and other material that increase the chances of registering 'ghost' images, or hide the tumour amongst the 'noise'. Now Sel Colak has developed a mathematical method to improve such images.

The technique works on any turbid medium observed with light in the wavelength range 200-1000 nm,
