Laplace-domain diffuse optical measurement.

ABSTRACT: Time-domain diffuse optical measurement systems determine depth-resolved absorption changes by using the time of flight distribution of the detected photons. It is well known that certain feature data, such as the Laplace transform of the temporal point spread function, is sufficient for image reconstruction and diffuse optical sensing. Conventional time-domain systems require the acquisition of full temporal profiles of diffusive photons and then numerically compute the feature dataset, for example, Laplace transformed intensities for imaging applications. We have proposed a novel method for directly obtaining the Laplace transform data. Our approach can significantly improve the data acquisition speed for time-domain diffuse optical imaging. We also demonstrated that the use of negative Laplace parameters can provide enhanced sensitivity to perturbations located in deep regions.

Experimental measurement of time-dependent photon scatter for diffuse optical tomography.

Project description:Time-resolved measurement of early arriving photons through diffusive media has been shown to effectively reduce the high degree of light scatter in biological tissue. However, the experimentally achievable reduction in photon scatter and the impact of time-gated detection on instrument noise performance is not well understood. We measure time-dependent photon density sensitivity functions (PDSFs) between a pulsed laser source and a photomultiplier tube operating in time-correlated single-photon-counting mode. Our data show that with our system, measurement of early arriving photons reduces the full width half maximum of PDSFs on average by about 40 to 60% versus quasicontinuous wave photons over a range of experimental conditions similar to those encountered in small animal tomography, corresponding to a 64 to 84% reduction in PDSF volume. Factoring in noise considerations, the optimal operating point of our instrument is determined to be about the 10% point on the rising edge of the transmitted intensity curve. Time-dependent Monte Carlo simulations and the time-resolved diffusion approximation are used to model photon propagation and are evaluated for agreement with experimental data.

Retinal vessel structure measurement using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Project description:PurposeTo assess the reliability and validity of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) measurements of retinal vessel lumen diameters and wall thicknesses.MethodsSD-OCT was used to characterize the circular region around the optic disc of 40 eyes (20 subjects). The inner and outer sides (vitreal and choroidal sides) of the vessel wall and the luminal diameter were measured using intensity graphs.ResultsMean arterial and venous luminal diameters were 95.1±16.1 and 132.6±17.8 μm, respectively. The wall thicknesses of inner and outer sides of the artery were 23.9±4.9 and 21.2±3.5 μm, respectively. The wall thicknesses of the inner and outer sides of the vein were 20.7±4.2 and 16.3±4.3 μm, respectively. There were significant differences between the inner and outer wall thicknesses in both the artery and vein (P<0.01). Intra- and interobserver intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for lumen measurements were >0.95, and for wall thicknesses were >0.85, except for the outer wall thickness measurements. The mean value of outer and inner wall thicknesses showed good reproducibility, with ICCs of >0.85.ConclusionIntensity graph-assisted measurements using SD-OCT provided more objective information in finding boundaries of vessels. Luminal diameters and wall thicknesses obtained with OCT showed good overall reproducibility, with inner wall thicknesses being thicker, and with better reproducibility compared with outer wall thicknesses, where ICC values were the lowest among the inner wall thicknesses, mean thicknesses of inner and outer walls, and luminal diameters. When using SD-OCT measurements, caution is therefore advised when using only the outer wall as representative of the wall thicknesses.

Corneal power measurement with Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography.

Project description:To study the accuracy and repeatability of anterior, posterior, and net corneal power measured by Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT).Doheny Eye Institute, Los Angeles, California, USA.Cross-sectional study.A Fourier-domain OCT system (RTVue) was used to scan normal eyes, eyes after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), and keratoconic eyes. After the corneal surfaces were delineated, the system calculated anterior and posterior corneal powers by curve fitting over the central 3.0 mm diameter area. Net corneal power was calculated using a thick-lens formula. The repeatability of the calculations was evaluated by the pooled standard deviation of 3 measurements from the same visit. The net corneal power values were compared with standard automated keratometry measurements (IOLMaster).The repeatability of Fourier-domain OCT net corneal power was 0.19 diopters (D), 0.26 D, and 0.30 D in the normal, post-LASIK, and keratoconus groups, respectively. The Fourier-domain OCT net corneal power was significantly lower than keratometry by a mean of -1.21 D, -2.89 D, and -3.07 D, respectively (P<.001). The anterior-posterior curvature ratio was lower in post-LASIK and keratoconic eyes than in normal eyes (P<.001).Corneal power measured by Fourier-domain OCT achieved good repeatability in all 3 groups. The repeatability was better than slower time-domain OCT systems. Because Fourier-domain OCT directly measures both anterior and posterior corneal surfaces, it may produce more consistent results than standard keratometry in post-LASIK and keratoconic eyes in which the anterior-posterior corneal curvature ratios are altered by surgery or disease.

Direct Measurement of the Local Density of Optical States in the Time Domain.

Project description:One of the most fundamental and relevant properties of a photonic system is the local density of optical states (LDOS) as it defines the rate at which an excited emitter dissipates energy by coupling to its surrounding. However, the direct determination of the LDOS is challenging as it requires measurements of the complex electric field of a point dipole at its own position. We introduce here a near-field setup which can measure the terahertz electric field amplitude at the position of a point source in the time domain. From the measured amplitude, the frequency-dependent imaginary component of the electric field can be determined and the LDOS can be retrieved. As a proof of concept, this setup has been used to measure the partial LDOS (the LDOS for a defined dipole orientation) as a function of the distance to planar interfaces made of gold, InSb, and quartz. Furthermore, the spatially dependent partial LDOS of a resonant gold rod has been measured as well. These results have been compared with analytical results and simulations. The excellent agreement between measurements and theory demonstrates the applicability of this setup for the quantitative determination of the LDOS in complex photonic systems.

Real-Time Handheld Probe Tracking and Image Formation Using Digital Frequency-Domain Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy.

Project description:ObjectiveFrequency-domain diffuse optical spectroscopic imaging (FD-DOS) is a non-invasive method for measuring absolute concentrations of tissue chromophores such as oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin in vivo. The utility of FD-DOS for clinical applications such as monitoring chemotherapy response in breast cancer has previously been demonstrated, but challenges for further clinical translation, such as slow acquisition speed and lack of user feedback, remain. Here, we propose a new high speed FD-DOS instrument that allows users to freely acquire measurements over the tissue surface, and is capable of rapidly imaging large volumes of tissue.MethodsWe utilize 3D monocular probe tracking combined with custom digital FD-DOS hardware and a high-speed data processing pipeline for the instrument. Results are displayed during scanning over the surface of the sample using a probabilistic Monte Carlo light propagation model.ResultsWe show this instrument can measure absorption and scattering coefficients with an error of 7% and 1% respectively, with 0.7 mm positional accuracy. We demonstrate the equivalence of our visualization methodology with a standard interpolation approach, and demonstrate two proof-of-concept in vivo results showing superficial vasculature in the human forearm and surface contrast in a healthy human breast.ConclusionOur new FD-DOS system is able to compute chromophore concentrations in real-time (1.5 Hz) in vivo.SignificanceThis method has the potential to improve the quality of FD-DOS image scans while reducing measurement times for a variety of clinical applications.

Time-domain diffuse correlation spectroscopy.

Project description:Physiological monitoring of oxygen delivery to the brain has great significance for improving the management of patients at risk for brain injury. Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is a rapidly growing optical technology able to non-invasively assess the blood flow index (BFi) at the bedside. The current limitations of DCS are the contamination introduced by extracerebral tissue and the need to know the tissue's optical properties to correctly quantify the BFi. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a new technology for time-resolved diffuse correlation spectroscopy. By operating DCS in the time domain (TD-DCS), we are able to simultaneously acquire the temporal point-spread function to quantify tissue optical properties and the autocorrelation function to quantify the BFi. More importantly, by applying time-gated strategies to the DCS autocorrelation functions, we are able to differentiate between short and long photon paths through the tissue and determine the BFi for different depths. Here, we present the novel device and we report the first experiments in tissue-like phantoms and in rodents. The TD-DCS method opens many possibilities for improved non-invasive monitoring of oxygen delivery in humans.

Optical characterization of porcine tissues from various organs in the 650-1100 nm range using time-domain diffuse spectroscopy.

Project description:We present a systematic characterization of the optical properties (µa and µs') of nine representative ex vivo porcine tissues over a broadband spectrum (650-1100 nm). We applied time-resolved diffuse optical spectroscopy measurements for recovering the optical properties of porcine tissues depicting a realistic representation of the tissue heterogeneity and morphology likely to be found in different ex vivo tissues. The results demonstrate a large spectral and inter-tissue variation of optical properties. The data can be exploited for planning or simulating ex vivo experiments with various biophotonics techniques, or even to construct artificial structures mimicking specific pathologies exploiting the wide assortment in optical properties.

Imaging sub-diffuse optical properties of cancerous and normal skin tissue using machine learning-aided spatial frequency domain imaging.

Project description:Sub-diffuse optical properties may serve as useful cancer biomarkers, and wide-field heatmaps of these properties could aid physicians in identifying cancerous tissue. Sub-diffuse spatial frequency domain imaging (sd-SFDI) can reveal such wide-field maps, but the current time cost of experimentally validated methods for rendering these heatmaps precludes this technology from potential real-time applications. Our study renders heatmaps of sub-diffuse optical properties from experimental sd-SFDI images in real time and reports these properties for cancerous and normal skin tissue subtypes. A phase function sampling method was used to simulate sd-SFDI spectra over a wide range of optical properties. A machine learning model trained on these simulations and tested on tissue phantoms was used to render sub-diffuse optical property heatmaps from sd-SFDI images of cancerous and normal skin tissue. The model accurately rendered heatmaps from experimental sd-SFDI images in real time. In addition, heatmaps of a small number of tissue samples are presented to inform hypotheses on sub-diffuse optical property differences across skin tissue subtypes. These results bring the overall process of sd-SFDI a fundamental step closer to real-time speeds and set a foundation for future real-time medical applications of sd-SFDI such as image guided surgery.

Real-time locating and speed measurement of fibre fuse using optical frequency-domain reflectometry.

Project description:We propose and experimentally demonstrate real-time locating and speed measurement of fibre fuse by analysing the Doppler shift of reflected light using optical frequency-domain reflectometry (OFDR). Our method can detect the start of a fibre fuse within 200 ms which is equivalent to a propagation distance of about 10 cm in standard single-mode fibre. We successfully measured instantaneous speed of propagating fibre fuses and observed their subtle fluctuation owing to the laser power instability. The resolution achieved for speed measurement in our demonstration is 1 × 10(-3) m/s. We studied the fibre fuse propagation speed dependence on the launched power in different fibres. Our method is promising for both real time fibre fuse monitoring and future studies on its propagation and termination.

Measurement of macular structure-function relationships using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and pattern electroretinograms (PERG).

Project description:BackgroundRetinal ganglion cell (RGC) death is a common cause of loss of vision during glaucoma. Pattern electroretinogram (PERG) is an objective measure of the central retinal function that correlates with macular GCL thickness. The aim of this study is to determine possible relationships between the N95 amplitude of pattern electroretinogram (PERGamp) and macular ganglion cell/inner plexiform layer thickness (GCIPLT).Methods and findingsThis was a retrospective and comparative study including 74 glaucoma patients (44 early stage and 30 advanced stage cases) and 66 normal control subjects. Macular GCIPLT was measured using Cirrus spectral domain-optical coherence tomography. Standard automated perimetry and pattern ERGs were used in all patient examinations. Three types of regression analysis (broken stick, linear regression, and quadratic regression) were used to evaluate possible relationships between PERGamp and GCIPLT. Correlations between visual field parameters and GCIPLT were evaluated according to glaucoma severity. The best fit model for the relationship between PERGamp and GCIPLT was the linear regression model (r2 = 0.22; P < 0.001). The best-fit model for the relationship between visual field parameters and GCIPLT was the broken stick model. During early glaucoma, macular GCIPLT was positively correlated with PERGamp, but not with visual field loss. In advanced glaucoma, macular GCIPLT was positively correlated with both PERGamp and visual field loss.ConclusionsPERGamp was significantly correlated with macular GCIPT in early glaucoma patients, while visual field performance showed no correlation with GCIPLT. PERGamp can therefore assist clinicians in making an early decision regarding the most suitable treatment plan, especially when GCIPLT is thinning with no change in visual field performance.
