Abstract: A system for outputting a representation of a wound in tissue comprises a housing configured to removably receive at least a portion of a wireless communication device. At least one light source coupled to the housing is configured to emit excitation light to illuminate a target which includes at least a portion of the wound. A power supply contained in the housing is configured to provide power to the light source. A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores a program executable to cause the performance of operations comprising detecting signals responsive to illumination of the target, outputting the representation of the target based thereon, storing data relative to one or more target surface parameter based on the detected signals, and displaying the representation. The signals correspond to at least one of endogenous or exogeneous fluorescence, absorbance, and reflectance from at least one biological component in and/or on the target.

Abstract: A portable imaging system for visualizing bacteria in a wound in real time includes an excitation light source configured to emit violet and/or blue excitation light to illuminate a wound and cause at least one biomarker associated with the wound to fluoresce and a camera configured to detect fluorescence emitted by the at least one biomarker associated with the wound in response to illumination of the wound with the excitation light. A portable frame is configured to support the camera and the excitation light source for hands-free operation and to position the camera and the excitation light source relative to the wound. The system also includes a power source for the excitation light source.

Abstract: A method and device for determining the depth and fluorophore concentration of a fluorophore concentration below the surface of an optically absorbing and scattering medium suitable for use in fluorescence-based surgical guidance such as in tumor resection is described. Long-wavelength stimulus light us used to obtain deep tissue penetration. Recovery of depth is performed by fitting measured modulation amplitudes for each spatial frequency to precomputed modulation amplitudes in a table of modulation amplitudes indexed by optical parameters and depth.
