A scattering phase function for blood with physiological haematocrit.

چکیده
Though the optics of red blood cells as well as whole blood has been studied extensively, an effective scattering phase function for whole blood is still needed. The interference of waves scattered by neighbouring cells cannot be neglected in highly concentrated suspensions such as whole blood. As a result, the phase function valid for single erythrocytes may fail to describe a single scattering process in whole blood with physiological haematocrit (Hct approximately 0.4). In this study we compared the results obtained in goniophotometric measurements of blood samples with the results of angle-resolved Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that a Henyey-Greenstein phase function with an anisotropy factor of 0.972 is an adequate approximation for the effective scattering phase function of whole blood with high haematocrit at a wavelength of 514 nm.

Optical Properties of Circulating Human Blood in the Wavelength Range 400-2500 nm.
Knowledge about the optical properties μa,μs, and g of human blood plays an important role for many diagnostic and therapeutic applications in laser medicine and medical diagnostics. They strongly depend on physiological parameters such as oxygen saturation, osmolarity, flow conditions, haematocrit, etc. The integrating sphere technique and inverse Monte Carlo simulations were applied to measur...
متن کاملScattering mechanism of nonmagnetic phase on nano diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS)
This paper shows the scattering mechanism at diluted magneticsemiconductors. The doped magnetic atom produces a scattering potential due to becoupled of itinerant carrier spin of host material with magnetic momentum of the dopedmagnetic atom. Formulas of scattering event were rewritten by the plane waveexpansion and then the electron mobility of DMS was calculated. Calculations showKondo effect...
متن کاملRed cell membrane protein abnormalities as defined by sds-page among patients with anaemia in a west african region hospital practice
Background: Erythrocytes require an ability to deform and to withstand shear stress while negotiating the microcirculation. These properties are largely due to their excess surface area per volume and the characteristics of the membrane’s protein. Deficiencies of these proteins are associated with chronic haemolysis. Methods: This was a cross sectional study aimed at determining the prevalenc...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of skin layers absorption and skin reflectance spectra simulation in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions.
We have simulated diffuse reflectance spectra of skin by assuming a wavelength-independent scattering coefficient for the different skin tissues and using the known wavelength dependence of the absorption coefficient of oxy- and deoxyhaemoglobin and water. A stochastic Monte Carlo method is used to convert the wavelength-dependent absorption coefficient and wavelength-independent scattering coe...
متن کاملHaemodynamic effects of haematocrit reduction in patients with polycythaemia secondary to cyanotic congenital heart disease.
Acute reduction in haematocrit (without significant alteration of blood volume) in six patients with severe polycythaemia secondary to cyanotic congenital heart disease resulted in an increase in resting cardiac output without alteration in heart rate. Cardiac output was also increased during a constant-load exercise test after haematocrit reduction, and under these conditions total oxygen upta...
