 fer Kehlet Barton\, PhD\, Professor\, Biomedical Engineering\, Director\, 
 BIO5 Institute\, The University of Arizona\, Tucson\n\nOptical imaging tec
 hniques have been shown to be highly sensitive to early stages of cancer. 
 We have examined techniques including optical coherence tomography\, fluor
 escence imaging\, and multiphoton imaging in mouse models of ovarian cance
 r as well as human samples of fallopian tube and ovary. These studies sugg
 est that ovarian cancer is detectable at microscopic as well as macroscopi
 c scales. To implement early detection in vivo\, a method of reaching the 
 ovaries and fallopian tubes in a minimally invasive fashion must be found.
  We are developing endoscopes which travel a variety of paths through the 
 female reproductive system\, and incorporate one or more of the optical mo
 dalities.
