This project aims to improve cancer imaging by combining two complimentary, novel techniques. Its success will create an internationally leading position for Australia in cutting-edge research in optical and terahertz biomedical imaging. This innovative, fundamental research will expand Australia's research capacity in imaging sciences. The nation will benefit from new medical diagnostic techniques that will improve the detection and treatment of cancer; as well as aid the clinical assessment of burns. This multidisciplinary, internationally collaborative research has additional wide ranging benefits in biology, medicine, pharmaceutical science and national security.

该项目旨在通过结合两种免费的新技术来改善癌症成像。它的成功将为澳大利亚在光学和Terahertz生物医学成像领域的尖端研究中创造国际领先地位。这项创新的基础研究将扩大澳大利亚在成像科学方面的研究能力。该国将受益于新的医学诊断技术，这些技术将改善癌症的检测和治疗；以及辅助烧伤的临床评估。这项多学科的国际协作研究在生物学，医学，药学和国家安全方面还具有更多的范围。
