Background and Objectives: Mechanisms of laser-tissue interaction have been a subject of interest. This study presents the effect of an artificially deposited liquid film on a biological tissue surface at near damage threshold laser fluences. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Pure water and perflu

โฆ Synopsis
We present optical spectra acquired from patients with malignant and benign breast tumors using a novel, non-invasive clinical diagnostic for characterizing thick tissues, SSFD. SSFD is a combined steady-state (SS) and frequency domain (FD) near-infrared spectroscopic method that is intrinsically sensitive to physiological changes in tissue. SSFD is relatively fast, portable, and, unlike MRI or PET, it requires no exogenous 2

Background and Objectives: The use of laser speckle imaging for the observation of blood velocities was investigated. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Measurements of blood velocity in animals and human subjects were obtained using laser speckle imaging. The tissue was illuminated with a low powe
Background and Objective: Cryogen spray cooling (CSC) is used to minimize the risk of epidermal damage during pulsed laser treatment of port wine stain (PWS) birthmarks. However, higher cooling efficiencies are necessary to provide sufficient epidermal protection for patients with higher epidermal m
Background and Objectives: Optical Clearing Agents (OCAs) have been shown to increase depth penetration within turbid tissue. OCAs may be advantageous for light-based diagnostic techniques for epithelial pre-cancer detection. Previous studies have quantified the effects of OCAs on tissue optical pro
