Quantitative Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy
In the field of biomedical optics, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) is a frequently used technique for obtaining information about the optical properties of the medium under investigation. The method utilizes spectral difference between incident and backscattered light intensity for quantifying the underlying absorption and scattering processes that affects the light-medium interaction. I...
متن کاملDiffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy
The appearance of a soil results from the interaction of its different constituents with incident light. Color and various other attributes of the appearance of soil are highly sensitive to the nature, proportion, particle size and morphology, and spatial association of its mineral and organic components. In fact, color has been used for more than 75 yr to obtain information about these soil pr...
متن کاملDiffuse reflectance patterns in cervical spectroscopy.
OBJECTIVES Our laboratory seeks to develop minimally invasive cost-effective methods to improve screening and detection of curable precursors to cervical cancer. Previously, we have presented pilot studies that assess the diagnostic power of auto-fluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. In the present study, we evaluate diffuse reflectance spectra from a comprehensive 850 patient clin...
متن کاملInstrument independent diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy with a fiber optic probe is a powerful tool for quantitative tissue characterization and disease diagnosis. Significant systematic errors can arise in the measured reflectance spectra and thus in the derived tissue physiological and morphological parameters due to real-time instrument fluctuations. We demonstrate a novel fiber optic probe with real-time, self-ca...
متن کاملHead and Neck Nerve Sheath Tumors: A 10-Year Evaluation in Iran
Background and Objective: Approximately 45% of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) occur in head and neck regions. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are less common and only 8-15% of these tumors occur in head and neck region. In this study, we aimed at evaluating the demographic characteristics, pathologic findings, locations, main clinical presentations and family h...
