Biomedical Optics for Disease Monitoring and Diagnostics
Dr. Mehmet Saadeddin Öztürk will present recent breakthroughs in deep tissue optical imaging, spectroscopy, and computational diagnostics, highlighting their impact on cancer research and veterinary medicine.
He will explore mesoscopic fluorescence molecular tomography (MFMT) for high-resolution, non-invasive tumor imaging, alongside optical and Raman spectroscopy for real-time, label-free cancer detection. The seminar will also cover advanced image processing for automated disease diagnosis, including applications in equine musculoskeletal and metabolic disorders.
A key focus is modeling cancer cell scattering properties to enhance optical contrast and diagnostic accuracy. Understanding light-tissue interactions enables better tumor differentiation, real-time detection, and personalized diagnostics.
Dr. Öztürk will also discuss the potentials for AI integration in diagnostic models as a promising avenue for automated cancer detection, spectral data analysis, and intelligent imaging solutions.
This seminar provides a comprehensive yet streamlined view of next-generation biomedical imaging, spectroscopy, and AI applications in human and veterinary diagnostics.
