The history of Burn Assessment at Moor starts in 1995 when we were approached by Tim Essex and Philip Byrne of Newcastle University who had developed and patented a unique laser Doppler imaging technique to provide colour coded images of blood flow in the microvasculature. The Newcastle system used a continuously moving beam which offered much faster, high resolution scans and, critically, a genuine large area capability of up to 50 x 50cm. It used a unique optical design which enabled use in a normally lit environment. In essence it was the first \u201cuseable\u201d laser Doppler imager albeit in a working prototype form (that worked exceptionally well!).<\/p>\n
Tim and Philip had partnered with the British Technology Group to seek a commercial partner. Promising further development and commercialisation, we signed an agreement in 1995 with BTG. It is worth noting that this system (albeit in a grandchild form) is still available from us today and forms a key part of our imaging portfolio. The system uses a single laser beam (like a laser pointer) moving across the tissue continuously rather than in a stepped fashion making the scanning much more rapid without compromising accuracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-26803","te_announcements","type-te_announcements","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"announcement_date":"Date: 2026","announcement_image":false,"yoast_head":"\n
