2. 1. Optical Analysis of biological media - continuous wave diffuse spectroscopy

   Author : Jan Sørensen Dam; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spatially resolved diffuse reflectance; in vitro diffuse spectroscopy; continuous wave techniques; Nuclear physics; multivariate data analysis.; Kärnfysik; Fysik; Physics; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Monte Carlo simulations; light propagation models; multiple scattering; Tissue optics; tissue optical properties; Fysicumarkivet A:2000:Sörensen Dam;

   Abstract : The main topic of this thesis is real-time quantification of relevant chromophores and light scattering elements in biological media. The presented methods and instrumentation are based on continuous wave (steady-state) optical measurements of (a) spatially-resolved diffuse reflectance from bulk media and (b) combined spatially-resolved and goniometric measurements of re-emitted light from thin samples.

4. 2. Biomedical and atmospheric applications of optical spectroscopy in scattering media

   Author : Johannes Swartling; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Turbid media; Tissue optics; Tissue optical properties; Multiple scattering; Radiative transfer; Diffusion equation; Monte Carlo method; Time-resolved spectroscopy; Atomic and molecular physics; Integrating spheres; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Fysicumarkivet A:2002:Swartling;

   Abstract : Spectroscopic analysis of scattering media is difficult because the effective path length of the light is non-trivial to predict when photons are scattered many times. The main area of research for such conditions is biological tissues, which scatter light because of variations of the refractive index on the cellular level. READ MORE

5. 3. Photon migration in tissue : laser induced fluorescence for cancer diagnostics and influence of optical properties on microvascular Doppler spectroscopy

   Author : Henrik Nilsson; Othar Svaasand Svansand; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Laser induced flourescence (LIF) is an "optical biopsy" method, based on the selective accumulation of fluorophores in neoplastic tissue. Two recently developed, non-photosensitizing tumor seeking carotenoporphyrins were assessed regarding tumor selectivity, and biodistribution, in experimental animals. READ MORE

6. 4. Light scattering and absorption in tissue - models and measurements

   Author : Annika M K Enejder; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tissue optical properties; Light absorption; Fluorescence spectroscopy; Atomic and molecular physics; NIR spectroscopy; Fysicumarkivet A:1997:Enejder; Light scattering; Atom- och molekylärfysik;

   Abstract : In this work a number of theoretical models, describing light propagation in matter, have been applied to and developed for the examination of tissue. The aim was to model the light scattering and absorption in tissue in order to improve the understanding of underlying mechanisms of laser-based diagnostics and treatment modalities utilised for cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

7. 5. On the use of light for the characterization and treatment of malignant tumours

   Author : Claes af Klinteberg; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Diffusion equation; Aminolevulinic acid; Protoporphyrin IX; Photodynamic therapy; Fluorescence spectroscopy; Fluorescence imaging; Laser-Doppler perfusion imaging; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Atomic and molecular physics; Multiple scattering; Tissue optics; Tissue optical properties; Fysicumarkivet A:1999:Klinteberg;

   Abstract : Some aspects on the use of light for tissue characterization and treatment of malignant tumours are discussed within this thesis. The work presented aims at improving optical techniques for tissue characterization, especially to detect malignant and pre-malignant lesions. READ MORE
