              (240220) -- BEIJING, Feb. 20, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Zhu Rui adjusts equipment at a laboratory of Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, capital of China, Jan. 12, 2024. On Feb. 18, the first working day after China's Spring Festival holiday, Zhu Rui, founder of medical device company Vivolight, came to the catheter operating room of Beijing Anzhen Hospital to learn about the use of OCT equipment produced by his company. OCT, or optical coherence tomography technology, allows doctors to examine patients and display real-time three-dimensional images where the catheter passes, providing guide for surgery. Since graduating from Tsinghua University in 2006, Zhu has been engaged in OCT related research and product development. His role has changed from a student, a researcher to an entrepreneur. While studying in Beijing, Zhu built an OCT system for ophthalmology. While studying for his PhD in Hong Kong, he realized the potential value of OCT technology in cardiovascular surgery. In
