Stanford
University scientists have provided the first glimpse under the skin of a
living animal, showing intricate real-time details in three dimensions of the
lymph and blood vessels.
The
technique, called MOZART (for MOlecular imaging and characteriZation of tissue
noninvasively At cellular ResoluTion), could one day allow scientists to detect
tumors in the skin, colon or esophagus, or even to see the abnormal blood
vessels that appear in the earliest stages of macular degeneration–a leading
cause of blindness.
