Abstract: Systems and methods directed to the assessment of circulatory complications due to advancement of diabetes. Embodiments include an optical measurement device having a light source with one or more wavelengths and configured to illuminate an area of tissue, a detector configured to capture the light reflecting from one or more layers of the tissue at the one or more illumination wavelengths, a processor configured to compute, based on the detected signal of layer extracted circulatory data, one or more estimates of tissue vascular health, and a display or communication device (e.g., electronic data transfer) configured to store or report the tissue vascular health. In exemplary embodiments, the distribution of chromophores such as hemoglobin in different layers of skin is extracted using a combination of structured light in the visible and near-infrared regime.

Abstract: An apparatus for turbid sample measurement comprising a plurality of light sources for illuminating a turbid sample target area with non-spatial structured light, a projection system for illuminating the turbid sample target area with spatial structured light, a sensor for collecting light from the turbid sample target area, and a processor to analyze the data captured by the sensor to yield scattering and absorption coefficients of the turbid sample. A method comprises illuminating the sample with spatial structured light, collecting light reflected from the sample at a number of wavelengths, illuminating the sample with non-spatial structured light, collecting light reflected from the sample at a number of wavelengths, and combining the measurements of the collected light to obtain the optical properties of the sample and/or the concentration of absorbing or fluorescent molecules. The wavelengths of the spatial and non-spatial light sources are preferably different.
