Fluorescent property of indocyanine green (ICG) rubber ring using LED and laser light sources

Fluorescent properties of ICG depends on solvent. Fluorescent characteristics of ICG rubber rings and optimized detection system condition were identified. The fluorescent rubber rings are produced by drying mixture of ICG solution and liquid rubber. LED and laser light sources were used to test differences between them. Other variables are ICG molar concentration (100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 10μM), e...

Indocyanine green fluorescent lymphography Lymphaticovenular shunt

Background: Visualisation of the lymphatic system is a challenging task. Recently, an indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent lymphography system was developed for visualising the lymphatic vessels. ICG emits energy in the near-infrared region between 840 and 850 nm when it is bound to protein in the tissue. Aim: To use ICG fluorescent lymphography to identify locations of the lymphatic vessel for ...

Comparison of Latent Print Detection using Semiconductor Laser and LED Light Sources with Three Chemical Reagents

A variety of light sources and reagents are available for the detection and identif ication of latent prints. This study was undertaken to explore the optimum light and f ilter combinations of laser and light-emitting diode (LED) light for use with indanedione and two new reagents, genipin and lawsone. The light sources utilized were Coherent TracER lasers operating at 460 nm, 532 nm, and 577 n...

The growth of human scalp hair in females using visible red light laser and LED sources

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Low level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) has been demonstrated to promote hair growth in males. A double-blind randomized controlled trial was undertaken to define the safety and physiologic effects of LLLT on females with androgenic alopecia. METHODS Forty-seven females (18-60 years old, Fitzpatrick I-IV, and Ludwig-Savin Baldness Scale I-2, I-3, I-4, II-1, II-2 baldn...
