From Ugly Sweater Day 🎄 to a pizza-making class 🍕, our office holiday celebrations were full of fun and friendly competition! It turns out that precise measurements, team spirit, and the right ingredients matter whether you’re making pizza or phantoms 👻.

🌟Happy holidays from the QUEL Imaging team!🌟

We have new team t-shirts! ✨👻🌲🌙✨

This design reflects us as a Vermont company (green mountain state ) that makes optical phantoms 👻. The phantoms on the shirt glow in the dark, just like how some of our phantoms are fluorescent 🌟!

‼️New blog post ‼️

In our latest blog post, we explore:

🔍 What distortion is (and why it’s not just lens blur)
🧠 How it arises in optical imaging systems
⚠️ Why it matters for quantitative and clinical applications
🛠 What you can do to identify and correct it

Happy First Friday! Last week on First Friday we hosted a QUEL open house to invite people to stop by our new office space, learn more about what we do, and see firsthand how we’ve used NIH funding to advance clinical practice. It was great to see our neighbors and chat with them about our work.
