This can result in unnecessary in vivo energy exposure which can cause irreversible damage to tissue. A simple, single detector system is proposed in this work comprising a single excitation channel at a wavelength of 780 nm. We have demonstrated that a single 1.6 Megapixel CMOS camera with quantum efficiency of less than 30% is appropriate to capture both fluorescent and non-fluorescent landmarks at NIR wavelengths. Experimental results indicate that a LASER source generating between up to 10 mW of optical power at 780 nm could be considered as an alternative to LED.","PeriodicalId":52398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomedical Photonics and Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43085514","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}

Raman light scattering from normal skin, malignant melanoma and basal cell carcinoma is investigated. Based on the photon transport algorithm proposed by L. Wang and S. L. Jacques, a two-stage algorithm for simulating Raman light scattering from skin has been developed. A method for additive modeling of skin pathologies is proposed. The main idea of this method is a hypothesis that an experimental Raman spectrum of normal skin, obtained by averaging in vivo Raman spectra of normal skin, may be served as a “substrate” for the feature simulated Raman spectrum. Thus, the pathology, for their part, may be “grown” by adding on this “substrate” Raman specific components set related to a tumor type. Additive simulation of malignant melanoma on various stages and basal cell carcinoma has been carried out. The possibility of using the developed algorithm to determine the component composition of the skin by the in vivo Raman spectrum of skin is discussed. An attempt to evaluate the change in the concentration of skin components during the development of cancer has been made.","PeriodicalId":52398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomedical Photonics and Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48542795","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}

One of such mechanisms is the refractive index matching, which is created by the partial replacement of tissue water by an optical clearing agent with higher refractive index, better matched to the index of tissue scatterers. With the objective of evaluating the refractive index matching mechanism for a wide spectral range and comparing its magnitude between treatments with different clearing agent osmolarities, thickness and collimated transmittance measurements were obtained from human colorectal muscle samples under treatment with 20%-, 40% and 60%-glycerol. Such measurements were used in a calculation model to obtain the refractive index kinetics for the interstitial fluid and for the whole tissue. The calculation results show that the refractive index matching has a stronger effect in the ultraviolet and that such matching is more effective for higher agent concentrations in the treating solutions.","PeriodicalId":52398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomedical Photonics and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42418769","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}

However, control dissolution of the drug is still an issue because the shell of the micro-bubble sometimes collapses instantaneously and start releasing the drug at a faster rate. This sudden rise in the pressure's level can rupture the capillaries and sometimes blood vessels also. Therefore, in such cases, it is a great challenge to examine the dynamics of the micro-bubble as well as the health of the blood vessel. In this essence, this paper presents a study based on the finite element method to examine the potential use of Photo-Acoustic Flow Cyclometery (PAFC) to resolve this issue. The presented model is based on the study of the intensity variations of the optical scatterings engender by the micro-bubbles through PAFC. The results of the study reveal that the proposed model has the potential to be used as a new mechanism to examine the growth of the micro-bubble as well as the health of the blood vessel. Moreover, by analysing the scattering pattern, one can also able to predict the value of the cavitation threshold and the size of the micro-bubble. Hence, the authors envisioned that the modified PAFC system can lead the path of a low-cost and real-time examiner for accurate target drug delivery as well as for the health of the blood vessel. Which in turn potentially increases the localized concentration of the drug to reduce the concerned side-effects of medicine on the other part of the body.","PeriodicalId":52398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomedical Photonics and Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47208974","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}

The permeability coefficient of the mucosa for glucose, calculated using the first Fick diffusion law, was estimated as (2.81±0.90)×10 -5 cm/s. It was shown that the introduction of the glucose solution into the mucosa reduced the light scattering coefficient by approximately 5–10%. The increase in the depth of light penetration was from 5% to 15%, depending on the selected spectral range.

It has been demonstrated that medical laser device based on CO 2 laser model DIAMOND C-30A (Coherent Сo.) has the best long-term laser power stability ((2–3)%), while the setup with CO 2 laser model 48–2W (Synrad Сo.) has the best short-term stability (0.62%). Amplitude-frequency characteristics of autodyne reception were studied for lasers of these devices. Power spectra of the autodyne signal appearing during evaporation of fat and muscle tissues under CO 2 laser radiation of the three types of laser devices were recorded. It has been shown that all these laser devices allow to detect the autodyne signal during evaporation of biological tissues. The medical laser setup with CO 2 laser model 48–2W has the highest signal-to-noise ratio during detection of laser backscattered radiation. This is due to the fact that this laser has larger autodyne amplification and better short-term power stability. The results can be used in the development of smart laser surgical systems with feedback.","PeriodicalId":52398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomedical Photonics and Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41656525","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}
