Analgesic effect of Photobiomodulation Therapy: An in vitro and in vivo study.

abstract：:Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is an emerging modality, which enables the identification of abnormalities in tissue based on optical properties. QPI can be applied to any biological specimen due to its label-free imaging capability, but its use in stained tissue is unclear. Here, we study the variability of QPI with...
