Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and kits for multifunctional smell assessment. The kits may comprise a first surface adhered by a first releasable adhesive comprising an odorous volatile compound; and the system for registering if the odorous volatile compound is detected by a user. The system or method may comprise queries for obtaining a first input on whether the user detects and identifies the odorous volatile compound, and an intensity by which the odor is perceived.

Abstract: The systems comprise source means for illuminating the fluorophores with diffuse photon density waves of a first specified wavelength, whereby the fluorophores will fluoresce re-radiated diffuse photon density waves of a second wavelength after being illuminated with the diffuse photon density waves of the first specified wavelength; detection means for detecting the re-radiated diffuse photon density waves of the second wavelength, wherein there is a phase shift between the diffuse photon density waves of the first wavelength and the diffuse photon density waves of the second wavelength; and processing means interfaced with the detection means for processing data corresponding to the phase shift and the amplitude of the re-radiated waves to determine concentration and lifetime of the fluorophores as a function of spatial position of the fluorophores in the turbid medium.

Abstract: Imaging tumors using diffuse light. An imaging system includes a source of diffuse light for generating oscillatory diffuse photon density waves to illuminate an object, a detector for detecting diffuse photon density waves interacting with the object, and a computer interfaced with the detector for processing data corresponding to the photon density waves detected to determine at least a position of the object. In one embodiment, the turbid medium and the object have associated therewith at least one diffusion coefficient and the diffuse photon density waves which illuminate the object refract around the object as a result of their interaction with it, thereby producing a distorted wavefront that allows the computer to construct an image of the object. In another embodiment, a fluorescent object produces re-radiated diffuse photon density waves which allow the object to be imaged.
