  • Patent number: 10768165
    Abstract: An imaging system for measuring water and blood lipid content in a tissue sample includes a light source configured to emit a plurality of sequential wavelengths of light within a predetermined range of wavelengths, a spatial modulation device configured to direct each of the plurality of sequential wavelengths of light onto a tissue sample plane to generate a first plurality of patterns on the issue sample plane at a first spatial frequency and a second plurality of patterns on the tissue sample plane at a second spatial frequency, an imaging device configured to generate first image data reproducible as images the first plurality of patterns and second image data reproducible as images the second plurality of patterns, and a controller configured to determine a first optical property and a second optical property for each location on the sample plane.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10258268
    Abstract: A tissue oximetry system employing diffuse optical spectroscopy includes an optical subsystem and an electronics and processing subsystem, together generating modulated optical signals processing a response optical signal in order to obtain measurements of blood oxygen values for a tissue from per-wavelength absorption values. Signal sources generate RF modulation signals, and ADC circuitry generates streams of digital sample values from analog detection signals.
