Detection of light images by simple tissues as visualized by photosensitized magnetic resonance imaging.

In this study, we show how light can be absorbed by the body of a living rat due to an injected pigment circulating in the blood stream. This process is then physiologically translated in the tissue into a chemical signature that can be perceived as an image by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We p...
