Early biomarker for radiation-induced wounds: day one post-irradiation assessment using hemoglobin concentration measured from diffuse optical reflectance spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Normal tissue radiation toxicities are evaluated subjectively and cannot predict the development of severe side-effects. Using a hand-held diffuse reflectance optical spectroscopy probe, we measured optical parameters in mouse skin 1-4 days after irradiation. Using a radiation toxicity model and a therapeutic mitigator described previously [BMC Cancer14, 614 (2014)], we found that hemoglobin (Hb) levels increased sharply 24 h after irradiation only in the irradiated group without the mitigator. This group also had the largest peak wound areas after 14 days. We conclude that increased Hb one day after skin irradiation predicts the severity of the subsequent irradiation-induced wound.

Instrument independent diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.

Project description:Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy with a fiber optic probe is a powerful tool for quantitative tissue characterization and disease diagnosis. Significant systematic errors can arise in the measured reflectance spectra and thus in the derived tissue physiological and morphological parameters due to real-time instrument fluctuations. We demonstrate a novel fiber optic probe with real-time, self-calibration capability that can be used for UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in biological tissue in clinical settings. The probe is tested in a number of synthetic liquid phantoms over a wide range of tissue optical properties for significant variations in source intensity fluctuations caused by instrument warm up and day-to-day drift. While the accuracy for extraction of absorber concentrations is comparable to that achieved with the traditional calibration (with a reflectance standard), the accuracy for extraction of reduced scattering coefficients is significantly improved with the self-calibration probe compared to traditional calibration. This technology could be used to achieve instrument-independent diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in vivo and obviate the need for instrument warm up and post∕premeasurement calibration, thus saving up to an hour of precious clinical time.

Diffuse Reflectance-Based Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy of Opaque Suspensions.

Project description:By augmentation of the collection optics utilized in transmission-based femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS), two novel diffuse reflectance-based femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (drFSRS) techniques were developed. These techniques were then used to collect the Raman spectra of opaque systems, those being cyclohexane-intercalated poly(tetrafluoroethylene) microbeads and ethanol in 1% intralipid solutions. The resulting drFSRS data from the cyclohexane:PTFE system show significant distortion of the depolarization ratio of the 803 cm-1 cyclohexane peak, indicating a loss of incident pump:probe polarization in a scattering environment. The drFSRS data from the ethanol in 1% intralipid solution demonstrate less signal strength but equal spectral resolution when compared to transmission-based FSRS of the same sample. The results presented in this Technical Note demonstrate the current capabilities of collecting stimulated Raman spectra of opaque systems using drFSRS.

Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy with Infrared Thermography for Accurate Prediction of Cellulitis.

Project description:Cellulitis is frequently misdiagnosed owing to its clinical mimickers, collectively known as pseudocellulitis. This study investigated diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) alone and in combination with infrared thermography (IRT) for the differentiation of cellulitis from pseudocellulitis. A prospective cohort study at an urban academic hospital was conducted from March 2017 to March 2018. Patients presenting to the emergency department with presumed cellulitis were screened for eligibility, and 30 adult patients were enrolled. Dermatology consultation conferred a final diagnosis of cellulitis or pseudocellulitis. DRS measurements yielded a spectral ratio between 556 nm (deoxyhemoglobin peak) and 542 nm (oxyhemoglobin peak), and IRT measurements yielded temperature differentials between the affected and unaffected skin. Of the 30 enrolled patients, 30% were diagnosed with pseudocellulitis. DRS revealed higher spectral ratios in patients with cellulitis (P = 0.005). A single parameter model using logistic regression on DRS measurements alone demonstrated a classification accuracy of 77.0%. A dual parameter model using linear discriminant analysis on DRS and IRT measurements combined demonstrated a 95.2% sensitivity, 77.8% specificity, and 90.0% accuracy for cellulitis prediction. DRS and IRT combined diagnoses cellulitis with an accuracy of 90%. DRS and IRT are inexpensive and noninvasive, and their use may reduce cellulitis misdiagnosis.

Dynamic cerebral autoregulation measured by diffuse correlation spectroscopy.

Project description:Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) can be derived from spontaneous oscillations in arterial blood pressure (ABP) and cerebral blood flow (CBF). Transcranial Doppler (TCD) measures CBF-velocity and is commonly used to assess dCA. Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is a promising optical technique for non-invasive CBF monitoring, so here we aimed to validate DCS as a tool for quantifying dCA. In 33 healthy adults and 17 acute ischemic stroke patients, resting-state hemodynamic were monitored simultaneously with high-speed (20 Hz) DCS and TCD. dCA parameters were calcaulated by a transfer function analysis using a Fourier decomposition of ABP and CBF (or CBF-velocity). Strong correlation was found between DCS and TCD measured gain (magnitude of regulation) in healthy volunteers (r = 0.73, p < 0.001) and stroke patients (r = 0.76, p = 0.003). DCS-gain retained strong test-retest reliability in both groups (ICC 0.87 and 0.82, respectively). DCS and TCD-derived phase (latency of regulation) did not significantly correlate in healthy volunteers (r = 0.12, p = 0.50) but moderately correlated in stroke patients (r = 0.65, p = 0.006). DCS-derived phase was reproducible in both groups (ICC 0.88 and 0.90, respectively). High-frequency DCS is a promising non-invasive bedside technique that can be leveraged to quantify dCA from resting-state data, but the discrepancy between TCD and DCS-derived phase requires further investigation.

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to monitor murine colorectal tumor progression and therapeutic response.

Project description:SignificanceMany studies in colorectal cancer (CRC) use murine ectopic tumor models to determine response to treatment. However, these models do not replicate the tumor microenvironment of CRC. Physiological information of treatment response derived via diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) from murine primary CRC tumors provide a better understanding for the development of new drugs and dosing strategies in CRC.AimTumor response to chemotherapy in a primary CRC model was quantified via DRS to extract total hemoglobin content (tHb), oxygen saturation (StO2), oxyhemoglobin, and deoxyhemoglobin in tissue.ApproachA multimodal DRS and imaging probe (0.78 mm outside diameter) was designed and validated to acquire diffuse spectra longitudinally-via endoscopic guidance-in developing colon tumors under 5-fluoruracil (5-FU) maximum-tolerated (MTD) and metronomic regimens. A filtering algorithm was developed to compensate for positional uncertainty in DRS measurements Results: A maximum increase in StO2 was observed in both MTD and metronomic chemotherapy-treated murine primary CRC tumors at week 4 of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, with 21 ± 6 % and 17 ± 6 % fold changes, respectively. No significant changes were observed in tHb.ConclusionOur study demonstrates the feasibility of DRS to quantify response to treatment in primary CRC models.

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of the spine: improved breach detection with angulated fibers.

Project description:Accuracy in spinal fusion varies greatly depending on the experience of the physician. Real-time tissue feedback with diffuse reflectance spectroscopy has been shown to provide cortical breach detection using a conventional probe with two parallel fibers. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations and optical phantom experiments were conducted to investigate how angulation of the emitting fiber affects the probed volume to allow for the detection of acute breaches. Difference in intensity magnitude between cancellous and cortical spectra increased with the fiber angle, suggesting that outward angulated fibers are beneficial in acute breach scenarios. Proximity to the cortical bone could be detected best with fibers angulated at θf=45∘ for impending breaches between θp=0∘ and θp=45∘ . An orthopedic surgical device comprising a third fiber perpendicular to the device axis could thus cover the full impending breach range from θp=0∘ to θp=90∘ .

Laser induced diffuse reflectance imaging - Monte Carlo simulation of backscattering measured on the surface.

Project description:The Monte Carlo simulation algorithm of photon trajectory computation is implemented in object oriented R code. Diffuse reflectance, also called backscattering, is modeled in semi-infinite homogeneous media. Spatial photon flux leaving the surface of the media is collected. The profile of intensity along radii relative to the incident point is used to simulate measurement of computer vision systems. Four optical parameters of the media are used: absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, anisotropy factor and refractive index. Five parameters are used to describe configuration of the vision system: number of photons, radius of circular light beam, limiting energy level of photons, radius of observed area, spatial resolution of the vision system.•The incident angle of the light beam is included in the photon launch procedure. Initial direction is typically assumed to be normal with x,y,z coordinates of 0,0,1. In the proposed modification, initial move vector is calculated based on the incident angle and refractive index of the media. Additionally, elliptic distortion of the circular light beam on the surface is calculated based on the incident angle.•Photon flux leaving media through the surface is corrected with Lambertian method to measure intensity captured by an imaging device in normal position.•The software implementing the method is written in R language, the R code is available as standard package.

Probe pressure effects on human skin diffuse reflectance and fluorescence spectroscopy measurements.

Project description:Diffuse reflectance and fluorescence spectroscopy are popular research techniques for noninvasive disease diagnostics. Most systems include an optical fiber probe that transmits and collects optical spectra in contact with the suspected lesion. The purpose of this study is to investigate probe pressure effects on human skin spectroscopic measurements. We conduct an in-vivo experiment on human skin tissue to study the short-term (<2 s) and long-term (>30 s) effects of probe pressure on diffuse reflectance and fluorescence measurements. Short-term light probe pressure (P0<9 mN∕mm2) effects are within 0 ± 10% on all physiological properties extracted from diffuse reflectance and fluorescence measurements, and less than 0±5% for diagnostically significant physiological properties. Absorption decreases with site-specific variations due to blood being compressed out of the sampled volume. Reduced scattering coefficient variation is site specific. Intrinsic fluorescence shows a large standard error, although no specific pressure-related trend is observed. Differences in tissue structure and morphology contribute to site-specific probe pressure effects. Therefore, the effects of pressure can be minimized when the pressure is small and applied for a short amount of time; however, long-term and large pressures induce significant distortions in measured spectra.

Cerebrovascular reactivity measured in awake mice using diffuse correlation spectroscopy.

Project description:Significance: Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), defined as the ability of the cerebral vasculature to dilate or constrict in response to a vasoactive stimulus, is an important indicator of the brain's vascular health. However, mechanisms of cerebrovascular dysregulation are poorly understood, and no effective treatment strategies for impaired CVR exist. Preclinical murine models provide an excellent platform for interrogating mechanisms underlying CVR dysregulation and determining novel therapeutics that restore impaired CVR. However, quantification of CVR in mice is challenging. Aim: We present means of assessing CVR in awake mice using intraperitoneal injection of acetazolamide (ACZ) combined with continuous monitoring of cerebral blood flow. Approach: Measurements of cerebral blood flow were made with a minimally invasive diffuse correlation spectroscopy sensor that was secured to an optical window glued to the intact skull. Two source-detector separations (3 and 4.5 mm) per hemisphere were used to probe different depths. CVR was quantified as the relative increase in blood flow due to ACZ. CVR was assessed once daily for 5 days in 5 mice. Results: We found that CVR and the response half-time were remarkably similar across hemispheres and across 3- versus 4.5-mm separations, suggesting a homogenous, whole brain response to ACZ. Mean(std) intra- and intermouse coefficients of variations were 15(9)% and 19(10)%, respectively, for global CVR and 24(15)% and 27(11)%, respectively, for global response half-time. Conclusion: In sum, we report a repeatable method of measuring CVR in free-behaving mice which can be used to screen for impairments with disease and to track changes in CVR with therapeutic interventions.
