Tracking shear waves in turbid medium by light: theory, simulation, and experiment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shear wave propagation provides rich information for material mechanical characterization, including elasticity and viscosity. This Letter reports tracking of shear wave propagation in turbid media by laser-speckle-contrast analysis. The theory is described, and a Monte Carlo simulation of light shear wave interaction was developed. Simulation and experiments on tissue-mimicking phantoms agree well and show tracking of shear wave at the phantom surface and at depth as well as multiple shear waves interacting within the object. The relationship between speckle contrast value and shear wave amplitude is also investigated.

Imaging in turbid media using quasi-ballistic photons
We study by means of experiments and Monte Carlo simulations, the scattering of light in random media, to determine the distance upto which photons travel along almost undeviated paths within a scattering medium, and are therefore capable of casting a shadow of an opaque inclusion embedded within the medium. Such photons are isolated by polarisation discrimination wherein the plane of linear po...
متن کاملHybrid model of Monte Carlo simulation and diffusion theory for light reflectance by turbid media.
Light reflectance by semi-infinite turbid media is modeled by a hybrid of Monte Carlo simulation and diffusion theory, which combines the accuracy of Monte Carlo simulation near the source and the speed of diffusion theory distant from the source. For example, when the turbid medium has the following optical properties--absorption coefficient 1 cm-1, scattering coefficient 100 cm-1, anisotropy ...
متن کاملV-waves of excitation
In this paper we communicate recent developments in theory, experiment, and computer simulations of V-shaped waves in excitable media. The waves appear as the result of oblique collisions of two plane waves, and constitute a one-parametric family of V-like patterns distinguishable by the angle of collision. The shape and position of V-patterns are stable with respect to localized perturbations ...
متن کاملElectric field Monte Carlo simulation of coherent backscattering of polarized light by turbid medium
A method for directly simulating coherent backscattering of polarized light by a turbid medium has been developed based on the Electric field Monte Carlo (EMC) method. Electric fields of light traveling in a pair of time-reversed paths are added coherently to simulate their interference. An efficient approach for computing the electric field of light traveling along a time-reversed path is deri...
متن کاملThe backscattering of polarised light from turbid media - An analysis of the azimuthal intensity variations and its implications for the position of the source of diffusing radiation
We study the azimuthal variation in the backscattered intensity that is seen when polarised light is scattered by a turbid medium. We present experimental observations of these intensity variations in colloidal suspensions over a wide range of optical densities. For a medium composed of spherical scatterers, we have developed using Mie scattering theory and Monte Carlo simulations of photon tra...
