Optical methods can also use contrast agents and can identify a line from the tissue surface, including the localized contrast agent and hence the tumor. Localization of absorbers/fluorochromes deep within a highly scattering large body of tissue such as the human breast can be effected most precisely by photon diffusive waves (Yodh, physical Review) that are not only amplitude modulated in the MHz region. If they consist of paired sources or detector, in-phase and anti-phase signal can be obtained to establish a null plane (Ref 1,2,3). Such a null plane is highly sensitive to perturbations by extremely small objects, of the order of the size of 70 microliters volume and containing as little as 20 picamole of an absorber. The null plane afforded by the in phase and out of phase cancellation diffusive wave is extremely narrow, and displacements of the array with respect to the hidden absorber of a fraction of a millimeter can be detected. Previous work has shown that the multiple source array consisting of portion of laser diode modulated at 200Mhz (50Mhz) RF signal 180 degree out of phase with the rest of the array gives a sharp phase transition and amplitude null plane. This plane provides a sensitive way for the detection of heterogeneity, and thereby may be used for the localization of small tumors within the human tissue. In order to enlarge the search field for phased array, the amplitude of the RF(200Mhz or 50 MHz) is modulated' by a second lower frequency signal(60 Hz),the phase transition plane moves back and forth in the certain region at the lower frequency. That is the principle of electronic scanning of the phased array. With this technology, we can make a real-time display of the line sight, which can goide the needle to the tumor in the surgeon's biopsy operation. In this paper, we will present the work for the localization of object in media using the phased array scanning.","PeriodicalId":368664,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Optical Imaging and Photon Migration","volume":"269 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126962046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By simulating regional absorption changes in a highly scattering medium using Monte Carlo method, we have determined that linear-signal processing can be used for OT. Furthermore, we have developed a 12-channel OT system and measured the hemodynamic changes around the central sulcus induced by finger movement. The changes caused by contralateral (right) finger movement were found to be significantly different than those due to ipsilateral (left) finger movement.","PeriodicalId":368664,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Optical Imaging and Photon Migration","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125518199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detection angles around a fixed point are varied. Similar detection points in each media have been chosen along two directions: forward - along the light source launching direction, x-axis; and lateral or perpendicular direction, y-axis, for comparison. Measurements show the existence of a strong angular dependence of light traveling in a highly scattering media even for distances as large as 20 transport mean free path. More light is observed in the forward direction than in the lateral direction. The strong angular and spatial dependence indicates the existence of an anisotropic behavior of photons from the source directionality. To describe the high degree of anisotropy of photon migration in the medium, two new anisotropy parameters are introduced.","PeriodicalId":368664,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Optical Imaging and Photon Migration","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115156294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
