Mar 23, 2020 - Mar 31, 2021
Description:
La tomographie par cohérence optique (OCT) est une technique d'imagerie permettant de visualiser des couches cellulaires d'organes sans devoir faire de prélèvements. Les organes internes sont atteints à l'aide de catheters en fibres optiques. Originalement développées pour les télécommunications, ces fibres optiques peuvent être adaptées aux contraintes de l'imagerie endoscopique. Ici, il est question de déveloper des coupleurs en fibres optiques dédiés à l'imagerie médicale. En particulier, l'équipe addresse la measure de la phase pour améliorer le rapport signal-sur-bruit des images OCT.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
