Photon-tissue interaction model enables quantitative optical analysis of human pancreatic tissues
نویسندگان
چکیده
A photon-tissue interaction (PTI) model was developed and employed to analyze 96 pairs of reflectance and fluorescence spectra from freshly excised human pancreatic tissues. For each pair of spectra, the PTI model extracted a cellular nuclear size parameter from the measured reflectance, and the relative contributions of extracellular and intracellular fluorophores to the intrinsic fluorescence. The results suggest that reflectance and fluorescence spectroscopies have the potential to quantitatively distinguish among pancreatic tissue types, including normal pancreatic tissue, pancreatitis, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

We have studied the changes in protein-protein interaction network of 38 different tissues of the human body. 123 gene expression samples from these tissues were used to construct human protein-protein interaction network. This network is then pruned using the gene expression samples of each tissue to construct different protein-protein interaction networks corresponding to different studied ti...

متن کاملThe Study of Variation of Photon Intensity Inside Biological Phantom by Green Theorem
The Image reconstruction is an important problem in optical tomography. The process of the image processing requires the study of photon migration in biological tissue. There are several approaches to study and simulate propagation of photons in biological tissues. These approaches are categorized into stochastic and analytical groups. The Monte Carlo method as a stochastic method is widely use...
متن کاملNonlinear Quantitative Photoacoustic Tomography with Two-Photon Absorption
Two-photon photoacoustic tomography (TP-PAT) is a non-invasive optical molecular imaging modality that aims at inferring two-photon absorption property of heterogeneous media from photoacoustic measurements. In this work, we analyze an inverse problem in quantitative TP-PAT where we intend to reconstruct optical coefficients in a semilinear elliptic PDE, the mathematical model for the propagati...
