What are near infrared light and optical tomography?
A. Near infrared light (NIR) is 100% safe as it does not heat body tissue. And, it has the unique ability, unlike any other light or laser, of penetrating relatively thick body tissue and the human skull quite easily. NIR light is used in your remote control. Optical tomography acts very similar to computed tomography (CT scan) but without the radiation. It is the scientific method of using an algorithm to construct a 3D image. Q. What is the value of the NIR Image 2700? Is this a really big deal? Could this be considered “disruptive” technology? A. Yes. The NIR Image 2700 will save millions of lives worldwide. It will be used in remote and rural areas of the world with people who have limited access to ambulances, CT scans or MRIs. Imagine a clinician traveling to remote areas of the world to do a breast scan or brain scan, without radiation, and without the patient traveling to a hospital. This is a medical miracle. Q. Is the NIR Image 2700 a big deal for a developed country, like th
