Portable near-infrared diffusive light imager for breast cancer detection
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2004-02-03)
We present a frequency-domain near-infrared optical tomography system designed for breast cancer detection, in conjunction, with conventional ultrasound. It features fast optical switching, threewavelength excitations, and ...
On the geometry dependence of differential pathlength factor for near-infrared spectroscopy. I. Steady-state with homogeneous medium
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2015-10-14)
This work analytically examines some dependences of the differential pathlength factor (DPF) for steady-state photon diffusion in a homogeneous medium on the shape, dimension, and absorption and reduced scattering coefficients ...
Perspective review on solid-organ transplant: Needs in point-of-care optical biomarkers
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2018-08-29)
Solid-organ transplant is one of the most complex areas of modern medicine involving surgery. There are challenging opportunities in solid-organ transplant, specifically regarding the deficiencies in pathology workflow or ...
Flexible nine-channel photodetector probe facilitated intraspinal multisite transcutaneous photobiomodulation therapy dosimetry in cadaver dogs
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2018-01-23)
Noninvasive photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) of spinal cord disease remains speculative due to the lack of evidence for whether photobiomodulatory irradiances can be transcutaneously delivered to the spinal cord under a ...
In vivo trans-rectal ultrasound-coupled optical tomography of a transmissible venereal tumor model in the canine pelvic canal
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2009-05-01)
In vivo trans-rectal near-infrared (NIR) optical tomography was performed concurrently with, albeit reconstructed without spatial a prior of, trans-rectal ultrasound (US) on transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) developed as ...
Hybrid positron detection and optical coherence tomography system: Design, calibration, and experimental validation with rabbit atherosclerotic models
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2005-07-01)
We evaluate the performance of our novel hybrid optical coherence tomography (OCT) and scintillating probe, demonstrate simultaneous OCT imaging and scintillating detection, and validate the system using an atherosclerotic ...
Effects of capsule on surface diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of the subcapsular parenchyma of a solid organ
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2018-07-27)
We hypothesize that the capsular optical properties and thickness combined affect how accurate the diffuse reflectance on the surface of a capsular solid organ represents that on the subcapsular parenchyma. Monte Carlo ...
Freehand diffuse optical spectroscopy imaging for intraoperative identification of major venous and arterial vessels underlying peritoneal fat: An in vivo demonstration in a pig model
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2017-10-30)
Inadvertent injury to important anatomic structures is a significant risk in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) that potentially requires conversion to an open procedure, which results in increased morbidity and mortality. ...
Digital signal processor-based real-time optical Doppler tomography system
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2004-05-01)
We present a real-time data-processing and display unit, based on a custom-designed digital signal processor (DSP) module for imaging tissue structure and Doppler blood flow. The DSP module is incorporated into a conventional ...
In vivo assessment of diet-induced rat hepatic steatosis development by percutaneous single-fiber spectroscopy detects scattering spectral changes due to fatty infiltration
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2015-11-05)
This study explores percutaneous single-fiber spectroscopy (SfS) of rat livers undergoing fatty infiltration. Eight test rats were fed a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet, and four control rats were fed a normal diet. ...
