Imaging of ex vivo nonmelanoma skin cancers in the optical and terahertz spectral regions optical and terahertz skin cancers imaging.
We tested the hypothesis that polarization sensitive optical and terahertz imaging may be combined for accurate nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) delineation. Nine NMSC specimens were imaged. 513 μm and 440 nm wavelengths were used for terahertz and optical imaging, respectively. Histopathology was processed for evaluation. Terahertz reflectance of NMSC was quantified. Our results demonstrate that...
متن کاملImaging of ex vivo nonmelanoma skin cancers in the optical and terahertz spectral regions
With approximately 3.5 million cases diagnosed each year, nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common form of cancer. NMSC results in about 3000 deaths each year and the cost of treatments is estimated to exceed $ 600 million each year [1]. The most effective form of NMSC treatment is Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) which involves removing cancer layer by layer while simultaneously proces...
متن کاملSkin Grafting of Burns
This book outlines the essential points of care which have proved of benefit in treating a large series of patients with full-thickness loss of skin and requiring skin grafting, at the Washington University Medical School Children's Hospital and Barnes Hospital, during the course of a long period. In the first chapter, the authors stato : ' In the extensive literature on burn's, there has been ...
متن کاملContinuous wave terahertz transmission imaging of nonmelanoma skin cancers.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Continuous wave terahertz imaging has the potential to offer a safe, noninvasive medical imaging modality for delineating human skin cancers. Terahertz pulse imaging (TPI) has already shown that there is contrast between basal cell carcinoma and normal skin. Continuous-wave imaging offers a simpler, lower cost alternative to TPI. The goal of this study was to investigat...
متن کاملSkin in vivo Dosimetry in Radiotherapy
Introduction: Due to the prevalence of skin problems in patients after radiotherapy, skin dose measuring is importance. Content: Skin in vivo dosimetry means measuring the patient's (or phantom) skin dose during radiotherapy. According to the ICRP 59, the dose at the depth of 0.07 mm is known as a skin dose. The most radiosensitive epidermis cells are located...
