Abstract: Methods and apparatus for video rate or near video rate quantitative imaging of tissue physiological and morphological properties from visible/NIR light spectral images obtain rapid multi-spectral reflectance images by illuminating with a series of spectra containing multiple narrow wavelength bands. An iterative light-transport based inversion algorithm may be applied for correcting the intensity of the spectral images from the geometry/coupling effect as well as from the scattering amplitude distortions. The method can produce video rate absorption as well as scattering spectral images that can be further analyzed very rapidly, using matrix-based rapid inversion algorithms to produce more detailed quantitative images containing information relevant to tissue physiology and morphology.

Principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis of reference spectra may be used to obtain a classification function that accepts features of the Raman and background fluorescence spectra for test tissue and yields an indication as to the likelihood that the test tissue is abnormal. The methods and apparatus may be applied to screening for skin cancers or other diseases.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rapid Raman spectroscopy. The speed is improved by providing light from a sample to a light-dispersive element, such as a holographic grating, in a pattern that inversely complements distortion caused by the grating. For example, if the grating imparts a curve to the spectral lines emanating from the grating, then the light is inserted into the grating in a curve in the opposite direction. Also calibration light guides able to transmit a known, or standard, light to the detection or spectroscopy system. The calibration light guide can be useful both with traditional light transmission guides and with the light transmission guides of the present invention.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides a diagnostic method for identifying psoriatic plaques in which Porphyrins, particularly protoporphyrin IX, are elevated as compared to normal skin and skin of patients with other dermatological diseases, including other forms of psoriatic plaque. Psoriatic plaques with elevated porphyrin levels may be detected by fluorescence and spectral analysis. Endogenous porphyrins in psoriatic plaques may be activated with visible light to treat psoriatic plaques having elevated porphyrin concentrations. Skin conditions may be optimized to increase the endogenous concentration of porphyrins in psoriatic plaques. A topical formulation may be applied to psoriatic plaques to optimize skin conditions such as pH, iron concentration, temperature, hydration, calcium concentration, oxygenation, electrical conductivity and estrogen concentration to increase the concentration of endogenous porphyrins.

Abstract: Apparatus for the diagnosis of a skin disease site by visual fluorescence inspection comprising an excitation light source for illuminating the disease site, a light guide for transmitting the excitation light directly to the disease site to generate fluorescence light and viewing goggles for processing the excitation light reflected and the fluorescence light emitted from the disease site to provide a fluorescence image of the disease site to a user. The fluorescence image is used to aid the medical assessment of skin conditions and the diagnosis of cutaneous diseases by supplementing the visual assessment of skin lesions made by the naked eye. The apparatus can be used in several modes of operation that permit the viewing of full color fluorescence images and enhanced two color images. The apparatus can also use image intensifying equipment to amplify fluorescence light so that even very weak fluorescing objects can be seen. A method for acquiring and viewing the fluorescence images is also disclosed.

Abstract: A micro-Raman spectrometer system for use in differentiating tumor lesions from normal skin detects specific characteristics of Raman spectra indicative of cancer. A peak at 899 cm−1 and a higher intensity region in the 1325 cm−1 to 1330 cm−1 range indicate the presence of tumors. The spectrometer system may be applied for skin cancer detection and for mapping the margins of lesions. Cancer detection methods as described herein have achieved diagnostic sensitivity of 95.8% and specificity of 93.8%.

Abstract: A method and system for characterizing tissue includes a probe connected to a red LASER source and a Raman spectroscope. The probe includes at least excitation fiber and one or more emission fibers that connect the probe with the LASER source and the Raman spectroscope. The excitation fiber is connected to the red LASER source and terminates in the first end of the probe adjacent the tip of the probe. The emission fibers are connected to the Raman spectroscope and terminate in the first end of the probe adjacent the tip of the probe. In one embodiment, the excitation fiber extends through the central portion of the probe and one or more emission fibers are arranged around the excitation fiber. The tip of the probe is intended to come in contact with the tissue to be examined. The tip includes a central opening to allow red LASER radiation to project out of the end of the red excitation fiber on to the tissue and to permit Raman spectra to enter the emission fiber(s) and travel to the Raman spectroscope. The tip is constructed to have a predefined focal length to position the first end of the probe a predefined distance from the surface of the tissue being examined. The tip can be removable and tips having different focal lengths can be used to accommodate different types of tissues and examinations. A detector can convert the Raman spectra into signals and data for analysis by a computer system. The Raman spectra for tissue in a predefined location can be profiled such that the system can distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue.

Abstract: This invention provides a body fluid detection method by using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. In this method, some biological macromolecules in body fluid samples could be separated with membrane electrophoresis technique firstly. Next, samples are cut off along with the substrates and touched with glacial acetic acid. Transparent colloid formed while incubating. Then add enhancing substrates and continue to incubate and stir. When solid impurities precipitated, stop incubating and stand for layering. In the end, take upper layer resulted to be tested using SERS detection method and build SERS database. This invention successfully eliminated disturbance of other complex components on the SERS detection of protein, DNA and RNA. High quality SERS spectrum obtained is beneficial to the analysis and process of SERS spectrum. Thus body fluid can be differentiated by comparing body fluid SERS spectrum belonging to the healthy people and patients.
