Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jöbsis was the first to describe the in vivo application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), also called diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS). NIRS was originally designed for the clinical monitoring of tissue oxygenation, and today it has also become a useful tool for neuroimaging studies (functional near-infrared spectroscopy, fNIRS). However, difficulties in the selective and quantitative measurements of tissue hemoglobin (Hb), which have been central in the NIRS field for over 40 years, remain to be solved. To overcome these problems, time-domain (TD) and frequency-domain (FD) measurements have been tried. Presently, a wide range of NIRS instruments are available, including commonly available commercial instruments for continuous wave (CW) measurements, based on the modified Beer–Lambert law (steady-state domain measurements). Among these measurements, the TD measurement is the most promising approach, although compared with CW and FD measurements, TD measurements are less common, due to the need for large and expensive instruments with poor temporal resolution and limited dynamic range. However, thanks to technological developments, TD measurements are increasingly being used in research, and also in various clinical settings. This Special Issue highlights issues at the cutting edge of TD DOS and diffuse optical tomography (DOT). It covers all aspects related to TD measurements, including advances in hardware, methodology, the theory of light propagation, and clinical applications.

Download or read book Optical Imaging Through Turbid Media with a Degenerate Four wave Mixing Correlation Time Gate written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical imaging through turbid media is demonstrated using a degenerate four-wave mixing correlation time gate. An apparatus and method for detecting ballistic and/or snake light while rejecting unwanted diffusive light for imaging structures within highly scattering media are described. Degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) of a doubled YAG laser in rhodamine 590 is used to provide an ultrafast correlation time gate to discriminate against light that has undergone multiple scattering and therefore has lost memory of the structures within the scattering medium. Images have been obtained of a test cross-hair pattern through highly turbid suspensions of whole milk in water that are opaque to the naked eye, which demonstrates the utility of DFWM for imaging through turbid media. Use of DFWM as an ultrafast time gate for the detection of ballistic and/or snake light in optical mammography is discussed.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The authors have demonstrated the use of a degenerate-four-wave-mixing time gate to allow imaging through turbid media, with potential application to tissue imaging. A near infrared (NIR), long-pulse Cr{sup +3}:Li2SrAlF6 laser was used as the light source (during most the project) for imaging through clear and turbid media. Preliminary experiments were also carried out with a continuous diode laser.

Download or read book Imaging of Turbid Media Using Trajectory Filter Methods written by Nicholas Pfeiffer and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical imaging through biological tissues and other scattering media is challenging, as the scattered light creates an extremely high background noise level that makes it difficult to detect objects that are embedded within the media. This thesis examines a relatively unexplored method of separating scattered light from unscattered light that has application to optical imaging through turbid media. The method creates an optical filter that blocks photons based upon their exit trajectory direction. Such a trajectory filter can be used with a collimated beam that transmissively illuminates a scattering medium to create an imaging system in which a shadowgram is formed from those photons that pass through the filter and have a trajectory close to that of the collimated beam. Experiments have shown that such a system is effective up to measured optical depths of 18 to 21 and scattering ratios of 108 to 109 using both coherent and incoherent sources. A micromachined linear array of 50 m x 10 mm collimating holes was developed earlier as a photon trajectory filter and was used to successfully image through media in which the ratio of scattered to unscattered light is extremely high (>107). These results are much better than simple theory would predict. This thesis provides a theoretical basis for the trajectory filter system to allow its performance to be characterized and compared against other optical imaging methods, such as time-domain imaging. Using Monte Carlo simulations, it is found that the trajectory filter method is more effective than pathlength-based methods for imaging through turbid media with moderate levels of scattering, up to ̃optical depths, and that it can be combined with other imaging methods to further improve contrast. Advantages of the trajectory filter method include coherence and wavelength invariance and the ability to perform either wide beam, full-field or narrow beam, scanned imaging. Experimental results are presented for laser and incoherent beams using two types of trajectory filters: spatiofrequency and linear collimating hole array. It is found that the trajectory filter method offers a viable means of transmissively imaging through moderately scattering media at optical and near infrared wavelengths.
