Time-gated transillumination of biological tissues and tissuelike phantoms.
The applicability and limits of time-resolved transillumination to determine the internal details of biological tissues are investigated by phantom experiments. By means of line scans across a sharp edge, the spatial resolution (Δx) and its dependence on the time-gate width (Δt) can be determined. Additionally, measurements of completely absorbing bead pairs embedded in a turbid medium demonstr...
متن کاملTime-gated viewing studies on tissuelike phantoms.
A time-gated technique to enhance viewing through highly scattering media such as tissue is discussed. Experiments have been performed on tissuelike plastic phantoms to determine the possibilities and limitations of the technique. The effects of the time-gate width and the localization, size, and optical properties of hidden objects have been studied. A computer model to simulate light propagat...
متن کاملTime-domain transillumination of biological tissues with terahertz pulses.
We present time-domain transmission imaging of an opaque structure in pork-fat tissue obtained with a terahertz (THz) field sampling technique. Compared with imaging with near-infrared pulses, the terahertz sampling technique shows significantly enhanced contrast, as a result of low scattering. For enhanced spatial resolution, we show mid-infrared THz imaging of onion cells. Water absorption of...
متن کاملUltrasonic shear wave properties of soft tissues and tissuelike materials.
Determinations of shear wave speeds of sound and attenuation coefficients are reported for soft tissues, a silicone rubber reference material, and a gel used in manufacturing ultrasonically tissue-mimicking materials. Fresh bovine tissues were investigated, including calfskin, liver, cardiac muscle, and striated muscle. Because of the very large shear wave attenuation coefficients, reasonably a...
متن کاملDetection of tumour in biological tissues by laser backscattering and transillumination signal analysis
The onset of tumour in biological tissues affects their optical properties. In the present study Monte Carlo simulation of the diffuse surface reflectance and transmittance for detection of the inhomogeneities/ tumour in control tissue is carried out. From the isolated heart, spleen and adipose tissues of goat digital phantoms are prepared. The virtual optical probe consists of a photon injecti...
