Barton’s team has examin ed techniques\, including optical coherence tomography\, fluorescence imag ing and multiphoton imaging\, in mouse models of ovarian cancer and human samples of fallopian tube and ovary. These studies suggest that ovarian ca ncer is detectable at microscopic and macroscopic scales. To implement ear ly detection in vivo\, a minimally invasive method to reach the ovaries an d fallopian tubes must be created. The Barton lab is developing endoscopes that travel a variety of paths through the female reproductive system and incorporate one or more of the optical modalities.\n\n\n\n\n\n CATEGORIES:AZ - Central LOCATION:The Biodesign Institute at ASU\, 727 Tyler Street\, Tempe\, AZ\, U nited States GEO:33.4202;-111.929 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=727 Tyler Street\, Tempe\, AZ\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Biodesign Institute at A SU:geo:33.4202,-111.929 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Phoenix X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Phoenix BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20171107T120000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:MST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
