Simulation of Dual Modality Probe

Abstract

Combining different modality sensors on a single probe is an emerging and promising trend in multimodality approach. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Optical Spectroscopy are both emerging technologies for molecular and near-cellular imaging, and they offer a new chance for evaluating tissue characteristic in situ. The aim of this study is to create simulations for a dual modality probe that combines both modality and find out the effective areas of these sensors. Biot-Savart Law is used to create a simulation for MRS, and Monte Carlo method is modified and applied in the Light-Induced Fluorescence simulation.
