Self-Calibration Phenomenon for Near-Infrared Clinical
Measurements: Theory, Simulation, and Experiments
Posted on 2018-03-08 - 19:15
An irradiated turbid medium scatters
the light in accordance to
its optical properties. Near-infrared (NIR) clinical methods, which
are based on spectral-dependent absorption, suffer from an inherent
error due to spectral-dependent scattering. We present here a unique
spatial point, that is, iso-pathlength (IPL) point, on the surface
of a tissue at which the intensity of re-emitted light remains constant.
This scattering-indifferent point depends solely on the medium geometry.
On the basis of this natural phenomenon, we suggest a novel optical
method for self-calibrated clinical measurements. We found that the
IPL point exists in both cylindrical and semi-infinite tissue geometries
(Supporting Information, Video file). Finally, in vivo human finger
and mice measurements are used to validate the crossing point between
the intensity profiles of two wavelengths. Hence, measurements at
the IPL point yield an accurate absorption assessment while eliminating
the scattering dependence. This finding can be useful for oxygen saturation
determination, NIR spectroscopy, photoplethysmography measurements,
and a wide range of optical sensing methods for physiological aims.
