A global team of researchers is collaborating to develop a completely new combined technological idea of biomedical detection using new ideas in quantum optics and quantum mechanics. The latest method is based on combined transmission and detection of photons in a three-dimensional space of orbital angular momentum, complexity, and hyperspectral features. These factors can contribute to developing a scanner that can screen for cancer and detect it in a single scan of the body, without any risk of radiation. Researchers believe that their extensive study will shed more light on the effects of light-scattering tissue-mimicking media, to advance the quest for innovative biomedical detection technology.
