THis is a medical device that will enable dentists to produce images of teeth, bones and gums similar to X-Rays but using infrared light. The team has developed a novel instrument using a miniature camera and a set of mirrors to produce images of the teeth. This new imaging technique allows pictures to be taken without the risks associated with X-rays, of particular importance in children.The idea came about through a collaboration between physicists and dentists and the hope is to enable dentists to monitor teeth and bones over time. InfraRed imaging potentially has much wider application for example, in measuring bone density. The team is testing out their device in the lab and are developing and testing a clinical instrument.
