Dynamic diffuse optical tomography imaging of peripheral arterial disease
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the narrowing of arteries due to plaque accumulation in the vascular walls. This leads to insufficient blood supply to the extremities and can ultimately cause cell death. Currently available methods are ineffective in diagnosing PAD in patients with calcified arteries, such as those with diabetes. In this paper we investigate the potential of dynamic diffus...
متن کاملImaging of vascular dynamics within the foot using dynamic diffuse optical tomography to diagnose peripheral arterial disease
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is the narrowing of the functional area of the artery generally due to atherosclerosis. It affects between 8-12 million people in the United States and if untreated this can lead to ulceration, gangrene and ultimately amputation. The current diagnostic method for PAD is the ankle-brachial index (ABI). The ABI is a ratio of the patient’s systolic blood pressure ...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography and hyperspectral imaging of vascular recovery in a model of peripheral arterial disease
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) leads to an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke, increased mortality, and reduced quality of life. The mouse hind limb ischemia (HLI) model is the most commonly used system for studying the mechanisms of collateral vessel formation and for testing new PAD therapies, but there is a lack of techniques for acquiring physiologically-relevant, quantit...
متن کاملHyperspectral Imaging for Diffuse Optical Tomography
Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) has emerged in the last decade as a new and exciting tool for functional medical imaging with applications in a range of areas including breast cancer detection and diagnosis. DOT employs observations of near infrared (NIR) light that has propagated through tissue to reconstruct the spatial distribution of various chromophores present in the region of interest. ...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Model Reduction in Diffuse Optical Tomography
We present an efficient method for the reduction of model equations in the linearized diffuse optical tomography (DOT) problem. We first implement the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator and Tikhonov regularization, which are based on applying preconditioners to linear perturbation equations. For model reduction, the precondition is split into two parts: the principal components are consid...
