Polarized Laser Beam Scattering through Turbid Medium for Application in Tissue Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the experimental results for scattering intensity which arises from illumination of turbid medium with laser light for characterizing the different types of particles. The imaging of tissue like phantom provides the possibility of modeling the laser tissue interaction parameters for the diagnostic of malignant disease and determining the optical properties of a material. Analytical modeling of optical materials with Stokes Mueller matrix provides a unique solution for characterization of sample material. The soybean oil (turbid medium) having properties of interloped phantom is studied. Optics orientation of polarizer-analyzer setup provides the analytical model for turbid medium characterization and can be extended for tissues imaging.

The Mueller matrix polarimetry is a useful technique for characterization and imaging of biological materials and turbid medium. The recoded transmitted Mueller matrix elements are highly intensity and wavelength dependent. We derived the sixteen Mueller matrix images out of forty-nine polarization configurations for characterization of the polystyrene sphere of 0.2 to 20 μm illuminated with po...
متن کاملThe study of propagation of a femtosecond laser pulse in the breast tissue
In this paper, the evaluation of time profile of a femtosecond pulse laser propagated through biological tissues is studied. The majority of the biological tissues with a high scattering anisotropy must be considered as turbid media, that their optical responses are complicated. To study the propagation of ultra-short pulse in turbid media, the diffuse equation is used. In this study, the analy...
متن کاملRapid high resolution imaging of diffusive properties in turbid media.
We propose a laser speckle based scheme that allows the analysis of local scattering properties of light diffusely reflected from turbid media. This turbid medium can be a soft material such as a colloidal or polymeric material but can also be biological tissue. The method provides a 2D map of the scattering properties of a complex, multiple scattering medium by recording a single image. We dem...
متن کاملThe Effect of Polarized Laser Radiation on Viscoelastic Properties of Soft Tissue
Background: Laser-tissue interaction on low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has widespread medical applications (e.g., improved wound healing). The tensile strength of radiated tissue by LLLT is known to be increased mainly because of cross collagen bands developed after radiation.Objective: In this work, we studied the instantaneous effect of radiation of polarized laser beam on the viscoelastic ti...
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...
