Learn how innovative optical imaging minimises complications in keyhole surgery.
The project was awarded the grade of "Very Good" by the KTP Grading Panel for its achievement in meeting KTP's objectives.?
Moor Instruments, established in 1987, is a world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of monitoring and imaging systems to assess blood flow and oxygen in the microvasculature.
The University of Dundee aims to transform lives, working locally and globally through the creation, sharing, and application of knowledge.
School of Science and Engineering
Through our teaching and research the School brings together subjects in STEM to address global societal challenges and develop life-changing technologies.
Maintaining blood flow during and after surgery is essential to minimise complications, but is extremely difficult to assess during keyhole procedures. This project aimed to develop an innovative medical device for optical imaging of blood flow during keyhole surgery to improve patient outcomes.
Reader in Biomedical Engineering
Dr Krstaji graduated from the University of Salford in 1997 (MEng in Electronics) and completed a PhD in Medical Physics in 2007 at the University of Surrey tackling optical analysis of 3D radiation dosimeters.
His research focus is on time-resolved spectroscopy & imaging and endomicroscopy. He has designed a variety of imaging instruments including fluorescence microscopes, optical coherence tomography instruments and endoscopy tools. One of his key goals is to provide affordable tools for endomicroscopy allowing in vivo cell biology of disease processes in humans clinically
