Hyperspectral imaging has traditionally been employed for environmental monitoring where large swaths of land have been surveyed miles above from air planes. With the capability of resolving minute spectral changes in space, different types of vegetation and soils could be identified over large areas, which has been useful to recognize the prevalence of various crop diseases. Today, the method is

When employing optical characterization of human tissue it is important to obtain proper characteristics of all its constituents that coexist in a complex fashion. This requires that each constituent is isolated and measured independently to determine how it reacts to different wavelengths of light (primarily absorption). Besides the hyperspectral camera, we have a multispectral microscope which e

Implement in-house state-of-the-art motion-tracking methods into our novel PAI application and evaluate its performance. During a scan, motion artifacts arise as a result of movements of the operator or the patient, and from breathing and tissue movements. To reduce movements of the operator and patient we have developed a transducer holder and stabilized the patient using a vacuum pillow (Sheikh

A key feature of photoacoustic imaging is its ability to illuminate tissue at multiple wavelengths, and thus record images with a spectral dimension. Spectral imaging allows sensing of intrinsic chromophores that can reveal physiological, cellular and subcellular functions. However, the identification of spectral signatures within images obtained at multiple wavelengths requires spectral unmixing

This project focus on evaluating and optimizing photoacoustic (PA) imaging as a method to detect and outline skin tumors. We are investigating the PA spectral signature of different tumor cells to enable automatic measure­ment of the tumor borders, and test the developed method in the clinical setting, ultimately developing PA imaging into a diagnostic tool for skin cancer.   When operating tumors

Heart failure is a leading cause of death and hospitalization in Sweden today, with a prevalence of between 200 000 to 300 000 subjects. Heart failure is characterized by increased intracardiac pressures and declining output of blood, representing the end-result of many different etiologies that adversely affect cardiac structure and function. Increasing availability of etiology-specific therapies

Evaluating tissue heating from near-infrared lasers.   With the rise of biophotonics in medical applications such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), laser induced fluorescence (LIF) and gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) the tissue heating properties of lasers in the tissue optical window is an increasingly interesting topic. These wavelengths in the range between 700 and 1100 nm
