Improving Imaging of Cancerous Tissues by Reversing Time

Washington University researchers have developed a novel “time-reversal” technology that allows for better-focused light in tissue, such as muscles and organs. Phys.org summarizes the research published in Nature Photonics, that describes using a new technology called time-reversed adapted-perturbation (TRAP) optical focusing, which sends guiding light into tissue to seek movement. Check out this video which shows dynamic focusing onto a moving target inside scattering media.
