- Better than X-ray – Researchers from University of Edinburgh developed new camera meant to work with endoscope, capable of seeing through human body
- Ballistic Imaging – Applies ballistic imaging where photon detectors in camera detect light beamed by endoscope behind 20 centimeters of body tissue, revealing precise location inside body
- Potential Implications – Can provide critical understanding of human body and substitute for X-rays
- Further Development – Plan to further develop camera enabling doctors to see both tip and length of endoscope inserted in body and improve image resolution
