Determination of optical properties of tissue and other bio-materials

Author: Singh, A ; Karsten, AE ; Dam, JS Date: Nov 2008 The optical properties namely the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of porcine skin were determined using an integrating sphere setup and a multiple polynomial regression method. The absorption coefficient was found to be 0.44±0.06 ... Read more
Effect of mixed-sulfonated aluminium phthalocyanine on human skin fibroblasts for photodynamic therapy

Author: Ndhundhuma, IM ; Falzone, N ; Dam, JS Date: Aug 2008 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be defined as the combination of a light sensitive drug known as a photosensitizer and visible light of specific wavelength. PDT is carried out by administration of photosensitizer either systemically, locally, ... Read more
Human tissue optical properties measurements and light propagation modelling

Author: Dam, JS ; Sighn, S ; Karsten, AE Date: Jul 2006 Biomedical Optics is the study of the optical properties of living biological material, especially its scattering and absorption characteristics, and their significance to light propagation within the material. Determination of tissue optical ... Read more
In vitro measurements of optical properties of porcine brain using a novel compact device

Author: Yavari, N ; Dam, JS ; Antonsson, J ; Wardell, K ; Andersson-Engels, S Date: Sep 2005 Knowledge of the optical properties of tissues can be applied in numerous medical and scientific fields, including cancer diagnostics and therapy. There are many different ways of determining the optical properties of turbid media. The paper ... Read more

Optical coherence tomography, In vivo human hand explorer, optical coherence microscope

Author: Jonathan, E ; Dam, JS Date: Jul 2008 The hand palm is an important human body part primarily for physical manipulation of the environment. For example, palmar hyperhidriotics report a low quality of life due to excessive palmar sweating disrupting normal palm use. As a body part ... Read more
Robustness and accuracy of the calibration model for the determination of the optical properties of chicken skin

Author: Singh, A ; Karsten, AE ; Dam, JS Date: Oct 2008 The optical properties namely the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of chicken skin taken from the breast was measured using an Integrating Sphere setup at 632.8nm. The properties were extracted using the multiple regression ... Read more
Sunlight simulators-the key to understanding the physiological effects of the sun

Author: Singh, A ; Dam, JS ; Karsten, AE Date: Jul 2006 CA sunlight simulator includes an elongated, cylindrical housing, an artificial light source disposed along the longitudinal axis thereof, and a plurality of light collecting subassemblies equidistantly spaced radially from and around the ...
