Publication number: 20240398249Abstract: A plurality of modules are simultaneously positioned at locations that correspond to different angiosomes. Each of these modules has a front surface shaped and dimensioned for contacting a person's skin, a plurality of different-wavelength light sources aimed in a forward direction, and a plurality of light detectors aimed to detect light arriving from in front of the front surface. Each module is supported by a support structure (e.g., a strap or a clip) that is shaped and dimensioned to hold the front surface adjacent to the person's skin at a respective position. Perfusion in each of the angiosomes is monitored using these modules, and the surgeon can rely on this information to guide his or her intervention.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicant: The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New YorkInventors: Andreas H. HIELSCHER, Christopher J. Fong, Jennifer Hoi, Hyun K. Kim, Michael Khalil

Publication number: 20190239751Abstract: An optical imaging device and system can be used to visualize and/or provide a quantitative measure of changes in patient vasculature, for example, to monitor responsiveness of a tumor to a particular chemotherapy treatment. A plurality of detectors (e.g., two) are spaced from a plurality of substantially monochromatic light sources (e.g., four) on an interrogation face of the handheld device. Wavelengths of light in the near-infrared range are used to measure the content of hemoglobin, water, and lipid of the tissue that the interrogation face comes in contact with. The light can be modulated so that the effect of ambient light is not minimized or at least reduced. The detected signal is amplified, filtered, and digitized within the device by appropriate electronics. In embodiments, handheld device can include a wireless communication module, such as a Bluetooth device, for wireless transmission of data to/from the remote processor or computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2018Publication date: August 8, 2019Applicant: The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New YorkInventors: Andreas H. HIELSCHER, Molly L. Flexman, Ronny Stoll, Hyun K. Kim
