Non-contact spectroscopic determination of large blood volume fractions in turbid media
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a non-contact method to quantitatively determine blood volume fractions in turbid media by reflectance spectroscopy in the VIS/NIR spectral wavelength range. This method will be used for spectral analysis of tissue with large absorption coefficients and assist in age determination of bruises and bloodstains. First, a phantom set was constructed to determine the effective photon path length as a function of μ(a) and μ(s)' on phantoms with an albedo range: 0.02-0.99. Based on these measurements, an empirical model of the path length was established for phantoms with an albedo > 0.1. Next, this model was validated on whole blood mimicking phantoms, to determine the blood volume fractions ρ = 0.12-0.84 within the phantoms (r = 0.993; error < 10%). Finally, the model was proved applicable on cotton fabric phantoms.

Quantitative spectroscopic determination of hemoglobin concentration and saturation in a turbid medium: analysis of the effect of water absorption.
The contribution of water to the quantitative determination of hemoglobin concentration and saturation by near-infrared spectroscopy in turbid media was investigated. The study consisted of in vitro measurements of an aqueous suspension containing Liposyn, bovine blood, and yeast buffered at pH 7.2. The optical coefficients of the medium (ma;0.03 to 0.08 cm −1, ms8 ; 6 cm −1 at wavelengths of 7...
متن کاملBalanced detection for low-noise precision polarimetric measurements of optically active, multiply scattering tissue phantoms.
The use and advantages of balanced detection for making low-noise polarimetric measurements in turbid materials are demonstrated. The technique reduces the intensity noise originating from the laser and, in addition, makes possible a direct measurement of a component of the Stokes vector. When phase-locked detection is used with either amplitude or polarization modulation for polarimetric measu...

Woven fiberglass, chopped fiberglass, and carbon fiber mats were used as reinforcements. The effects of reinforcement type and porosity on fiber ...
متن کاملA primary method for determination of optical parameters of turbid samples and application to intralipid between 550 and 1630 nm.
The lack of a primary method for determination of optical parameters remains a significant barrier in optical study of turbid media. We present a complete system of experimental setups and Monte Carlo modeling tools for fast and accurate solution of the inverse problem from the measured signals of homogeneous turbid samples. The calibration of the instrument and validation of the Monte Carlo mo...
متن کاملMueller matrix approach for determination of optical rotation in chiral turbid media in backscattering geometry.
For in vivo determination of optically active (chiral) substances in turbid media, like for example glucose in human tissue, the backscattering geometry is particularly convenient. However, recent polarimetric measurements performed in the backscattering geometry have shown that, in this geometry, the relatively small rotation of the polarization vector arising due to the optical activity of th...
