Ross Shonat (page 22) has developed an imaging system that uses a phosphorescent palladium-porphyrincompound that is injected into the retinal vasculature. Its glow depends on the amount of oxygen in blood. The emitted light iscaptured by a digital camera and analyzed to produce two-dimensional maps of oxygen tension in the vasculatures that supply the retina.
The mission of The Whitaker Foundation is to promotebetter human health through advancements in medicine.This is accomplished through a series of competitivegrant programs that support research and education inbiomedical engineering at academic institutions in theUnited States and Canada.1
