  • Near-infrared spectroscopic tissue imaging for medical applications
    Patent number: 7149567
    Abstract: Near infrared imaging using elastic light scattering and tissue autofluorescence are explored for medical applications. The approach involves imaging using cross-polarized elastic light scattering and tissue autofluorescence in the Near Infra-Red (NIR) coupled with image processing and inter-image operations to differentiate human tissue components.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 12, 2006
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Stavros Demos, Michael C. Staggs
