At UTA, his primary area of research involves application of Phase-sensitive OCT to the biomedical fields of retinal imaging, burn depth determination, cancer imaging and blood flow imaging. Dr. Davé plans to develop endoscopic OCT and functional OCT systems for optical biopsy, which will be capable of producing images with sub-cellular resolution. He is also focusing on the development of PM-fiber-based OCT instrument for in vivo imaging and combining multi-photon microscopy and functional OCT. Dr. Davé holds a U.S. patent on Optical Tomography and has four other patent applications pending.  Publications   Category  All  Type AllPeer reviewed Publications per page    1  2    Year Publication   Type 2004 Published S.A.
