Time-resolved transillumination for medical diagnostics.
A time-gated technique to improve the possibility of localizing spatial differences in absorption when transilluminating a turbid, highly scattering medium, such as human tissue, is demonstrated. When transmitting picosecond laser pulses and detecting photons on the opposite side of the object, the contrast can be strongly enhanced by detecting only the photons with the shortest traveling time....
متن کاملResolution Bounds and Reconstruction Techniques for Time-resolved Transillumination Imaging
Recent technological advances now enable time-gated acquisition of photons at very fast rates. This allows one to separate scattered and unscattered photons by temporal gating, a process termed time-resolved transillumination (TRT) imaging. TRT imaging opens the door to a new type of scanning through turbid (scattering) media such as soft tissue and fog/smoke, and many potential applications in...
متن کاملTime-dependent contrast functions for quantitative imaging in time-resolved transillumination experiments.
We have developed a methodology that can be used in reconstruction algorithms to quantify the optical coefficients and the geometrical cross section of a weakly abnormal optical target embedded in an otherwise homogeneous medium. This novel procedure uses differenttime-dependent point-spread functions to analyze the diffusive and absorptive contrasts obtained from time-of-flight measurements. D...
متن کاملArgon metastables in HiPIMS: time-resolved tunable diode-laser diagnostics
Time resolved Tunable Diode-Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TD-LAS) measurements were performed on the argon metastable (Ar) level 3s3p(P°3/2)4s excited at 801.478 nm, in the dense plasma region in front of the magnetron target in a high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) discharge. From the Doppler profile the evolution of the temperature and density were derived during the pulse as we...
متن کاملComponent resolved diagnostics for hymenoptera venom allergy
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Component-resolved diagnostics makes use of defined allergen molecules to analyse IgE-mediated sensitizations at a molecular level. Here, we review recent studies on the use of component-resolved diagnostics in the field of Hymenoptera venom allergy (HVA) and discuss its benefits and limitations. RECENT FINDINGS Component resolution in HVA has moved from single molecules to ...
