被称为“美国诺贝尔”的奖项认可广泛使用光学相干断层扫描来管理眼疾，预防失明

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States' most distinguished biomedical research award is being given to Oregon Health & Science University physician-scientist David Huang, M.D., Ph.D., for co-inventing an imaging technology that routinely helps prevent blindness and is increasingly used to diagnose and treat conditions of the heart, brain, skin and more..

俄勒冈州波特兰市，2023年9月21日/PRNewswire/-美国最杰出的生物医学研究奖正在授予俄勒冈健康与科学大学医学科学家David Huang博士，共同发明一种成像技术，通常有助于预防失明，并越来越多地用于诊断和治疗心脏，大脑，皮肤等疾病。。

Huang is receiving the 2023 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award as a co-inventor of optical coherence tomography, or OCT, the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation has announced.

Huang作为光学相干断层扫描的共同发明人或OCT获得2023年Lasker DeBakey临床医学研究奖，Albert和Mary Lasker基金会宣布。

'It's a great honor to receive the Lasker-DeBakey Award with my fellow OCT co-inventors,' said Huang, director of research and associate director of the OHSU Casey Eye Institute, and professor of ophthalmology and biomedical engineering in the OHSU School of Medicine.

“与我的OCT共同发明人一起获得Lasker-DeBakey奖非常荣幸，”OHSU Casey眼科研究所研究主任兼副主任，OHSU医学院眼科与生物医学工程教授黄说。

'OCT may not be as well-known as other major imaging modalities, such as MRI or CT scans, but if you have a serious eye condition, chances are that you received an OCT scan to help diagnose and manage your condition,' he said. 'I am proud that millions of people have benefited from a technology that I helped invent three decades ago.'.

“OCT可能不如其他主要的成像方式，如MRI或CT扫描那么知名，但如果您的眼睛状况严重，您可能会接受OCT扫描以帮助诊断和控制您的病情，”他说。'我很自豪，有数百万人从我帮助发明了三十年前的技术中受益。”。

The award is one of three that the Lasker Foundation gives annually to recognize leaders who have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of human disease. Lasker prizes are sometimes referred to as 'America's Nobels,' as 95 Lasker award winners have gone on to receive the Nobel Prize..

该奖项是拉斯克基金会每年为认可在人类疾病的理解，诊断，治疗，治愈和预防方面取得重大进展的领导人所提供的三项奖项之一。拉斯克奖有时被称为“美国贵族”，因为95位拉斯克奖获得者继续获得诺贝尔奖。。

Huang shares this year's Lasker-DeBakey award with fellow OCT co-inventors James G. Fujimoto, Ph.D., and Eric A. Swanson, M.S., both of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They will be formally recognized at a Sept. 29 gala ceremony in New York City.
