Research Partnership
The principal investigator and project team acknowledge research partnership
with
The Medical Physics Group
is a part of the
Biophysics and Medical Physics Division
, Aleksander Jablonski Institute, Nicolaus Copernicus University.
It was established in 1999 by Prof. Andrzej Kowalczyk and is one of the few European
research teams pioneering in development of the Fourier domain OCT technique.
The Group was one of the first to demonstrate the possibility of retinal imaging
with FdOCT. In the past decade of the development of FdOCT the Group has been
introducing new methods and solutions which paved way to clinical applications
and commercialization of this technology. The research included development
of new imaging methods, application of new photonics technologies, development
of image processing methods and new OCT imaging techniques. Since 2005 NCU group
is developing the swept source OCT technique based on the idea of the Fourier
Domain Mode Locking developed initially at MIT with contribution of dr M. Wojtkowski.
The Group has a history of collaboration with a medical partner (Collegium Medicum, NCU),
and an industry partner (Optopol Technology). The Group members have experience
in work in international research institutions (e.g. Prof. J.G. Fujimoto's group
at MIT, where the OCT technique was invented, Prof. A. Fercher's group in Medical
University of Viena, where spectral OCT technique was demonstrated).
The experience combined with original ideas of the Group staff enabled
establishment of an internationally recognized group.
