Backscattered Imaging of Turbid Media
نویسندگان
چکیده
To study laser tissue interaction absorption and backscattering are the key factors to find the changes in structure and dynamics of turbid media such as complex fluids and biological tissues. Here a method to select suitable wavelength for maximum interaction with a particular type of tissue/tissue phantom, and study of backscattered light intensity at chosen wavelength with respect to change in concentration/refractive index of tissue/tissue phantoms is carried out which can be used in noninvasive medical imaging.

Time-gated backscattered ballistic light imaging of objects in turbid water
Time-gated optical imaging of objects in turbid water was carried out in a backscattering geometry using light pulses of different pulse widths and a time-gated detection scheme with variable gate widths. Experimental results demonstrate that ultrashort pulsed illumination with ultrashort gated detection significantly improve image contrast as compared to any other combinations. These results a...
متن کاملForty-five degree backscattering-mode nonlinear absorption imaging in turbid media.
Two-color nonlinear absorption imaging has been previously demonstrated with endogenous contrast of hemoglobin and melanin in turbid media using transmission-mode detection and a dual-laser technology approach. For clinical applications, it would be generally preferable to use backscattering mode detection and a simpler single-laser technology. We demonstrate that imaging in backscattering mode...
متن کاملPropagation of polarized light in birefringent turbid media: time-resolved simulations.
A Monte Carlo model was used to analyze the propagation of polarized light in linearly birefringent turbid media, such as fibrous tissues. Linearly and circularly polarized light sources were used to demonstrate the change of polarizations in turbid media with different birefringent parameters. Videos of spatially distributed polarization states of light backscattered from or propagating in bir...
متن کاملImaging thermally damaged tissue by Polarization Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography.
Polarization Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography (PS- OCT) was used to image the reduction of birefringence in biological tissue due to thermal damage. Through simultaneous detection of the amplitude of signal fringes in orthogonal polarization states formed by interference of light backscattered from turbid media and a mirror in the reference arm of a Michelson interferometer, changes in th...
متن کاملMethodology for examining polarized light interactions with tissues and tissuelike media in the exact backscattering direction.
The properties of polarized light emerging from turbid media in the exact backscattering direction are studied by modulating the incident light polarization state and isolating the synchronous signal with lock-in amplifier detection. The results are reported for polystyrene microsphere suspensions in distilled water, with and without glucose, and for both ex vivo and in vivo biological tissues....
