Elemental analysis of tissue pellets for the differentiation of epidermal lesion and normal skin by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
By laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analysis of epidermal lesion and dermis tissue pellets of hairless mouse, it is shown that Ca intensity in the epidermal lesion is higher than that in dermis, whereas Na and K intensities have an opposite tendency. It is demonstrated that epidermal lesion and normal dermis can be differentiated with high selectivity either by univariate or multivariate analysis of LIBS spectra with an intensity ratio difference by factor of 8 or classification accuracy over 0.995, respectively.

The effect of self-absorption correction using internal reference on determining heavy metals concentration by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy
The identification and concentration of heavy metals, which may be so harmful for the body, is determined by the method of calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy using a special strategy. First, the plasma temperature is obtained using the Boltzmann plot. Then, a line with an inappreciable self-absorption is considered for each element as the reference. The modified intensities o...
متن کاملPalpable Purpura: An Uncommon Side Effect of Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal
A 40-year old woman was visited at our clinic with a history of palpable purpura appearing after alexandrite laser (Apogee 5500 Alex, 15mm spot shot, 755 nm wave length, 18 j/cm2 fluence) hair removal. The skin lesions were located bilaterally on the lower extremity (Figure1). Other physical examinations were unremarkable. The patient had no history of taking medications, underlying systemic di...
متن کاملQualitative tissue differentiation by analysing the intensity ratios of atomic emission lines using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS): prospects for a feedback mechanism for surgical laser systems
The research work presented in this paper focuses on qualitative tissue differentiation by monitoring the intensity ratios of atomic emissions using 'Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy' (LIBS) on the plasma plume created during laser tissue ablation. The background of this study is to establish a real time feedback control mechanism for clinical laser surgery systems during the laser ablation...
متن کاملMinimally invasive non-thermal laser technology using laser-induced optical breakdown for skin rejuvenation
We describe a novel, minimally invasive laser technology for skin rejuvenation by creating isolated microscopic lesions within tissue below the epidermis using laser induced optical breakdown. Using an in-house built prototype device, tightly focused near-infrared laser pulses are used to create optical breakdown in the dermis while leaving the epidermis intact, resulting in lesions due to cavi...
متن کاملSELF-INDUCED FOREIGN BODY GRANULOMAS DUE TO INJECTION OF ELEMENTAL MERCURY
A 24-year-old girl injected approximately I ml of elemental mercury from a few broken thermometers to her right cubital fossa. It led to the formation of a tumoral lesion which was erythematous, lobulated, painful, with secretory sinuses in the injected area. Biopsy showed foreign body granulomas with metallic mercury that appeared as dark opaque globules. X-rays showed metallic densities i...
