Plasmon-resonant gold nanorods (GNRs) are demonstrated as strong absorption contrast
agents for optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT imaging of tissue phantoms doped …

Currently the only method for positively identifying malignant melanoma involves invasive
and often undesirable biopsy procedures. Available ex-vivo data indicates increased …

Optical spectroscopy techniques are frequently used for the quantitative analysis of
substance composition, physical properties, and the phenomena risen from energy-matter …

We present a novel method for estimating the depth of a fluorescent lesion in tissue based
on measurements of the fluorescence signal in different wavelength bands. The measured …

For a practical technique of cross-sectional imaging of animal bodies, we developed a new
method using spatially resolved backscattered light. This method is based on the solution of …

Near Infrared (NIR) optical spectroscopy and imaging technologies are increasingly applied
to clinical and pre-clinical applications due to their strong metabolic sensitivity. These …

When a pulse of light enters a diffusive medium such as tissue, it undergoes a number of
changes. Most obviously, its intensity is attenuated due to the scattering and absorption …

Time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (TD-NIRS) offers the ability to measure the
absolute baseline optical properties of a tissue. Specifically, for brain imaging, the robust …

NIRS is safe, non-invasive and offers the possibility to record local hemodynamic
parameters at the bedside, avoiding the transportation of neonates and critically ill patients …

We have developed a flying-spot scanner for fluorescence imaging of rheumatoid arthritis in
the near infrared (NIR) spectral range following intravenous administration of contrast …
