TOMOGRAPHIC FLUORESCENT IMAGING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01N21/64 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, particularly to medical diagnostics, and may be used for two- and three-dimensional (tomographic) fluorescent imaging of a diagnosed object. A device comprises a fluorophore absorption band probing emitter provided with a fibre output, an emission receiver in the form of a CCD camera, an object scanning system with the emitter in a projection configuration, as well as a data processing and visualisation system. The device comprises the fluorophore emission band probing emitter provided with the fibre output, fluorophore absorption and emission band omnidirectional emitters in a reflection configuration, a second emission receiver with the fibre output in the form of a photomultiplier, the object scanning system of the photomultiplier in a projection configuration in relation to the probing emitter, as well as a scanning control unit. The data processing and visualising system is provided with original software for implementing methods for surface imaging, projection visualisation and diffuse fluorescent tomography.

EFFECT: device is characterised by simplicity and low measurement time.
