โœฆ 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 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
