Characterizing optical properties in fibrous tissues
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Optical methods are promising for non-invasive tissue characterization. Biological tissues can be classified into isotropic tissues and anisotropic tissues. The optical properties of isotropic tissues such as adipose tissue ... -
Imaging 3D tissue fiber organization using optical polarization tractography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Optical polarization tractography (OPT) is a new imaging technology developed based on an advanced Jones matrix implementation of polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PSOCT). OPT can acquire high-resolution, ... -
Imaging structural and mechanical properties of articular cartilage using optical polarization tractography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Osteoarthritis (OA) is an extremely common joint disease, which affects more than one-third of all adults in the USA. Although the entire joint ... -
Optical characterization of skeletal muscles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The optical absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of bulk skeleton muscle were measured by fitting the diffusion model to spatially resolved ... -
Optical reflectance in fibrous tissues and skeletal muscles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)We studied diffuse optical reflectance in two anisotropic biological tissues: high moisture soy extrudates and skeletal muscles. High moisture extrusion of soy proteins can produce healthy alternative protein sources that ... -
Pupillary light reflex in children with autism spectrum disorders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Pupillary light reflex (PLR) refers to the phenomenon of pupil size changing with respect to retinal illumination. It's a noninvasive, functional test which can reveal a rich set of information about nervous system. Abnormal ... -
Study of human pupillary light reflex and its potential application in autism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Pupillary light reflex (PLR) can be used as an objective and non-invasive method to evaluate certain brain functions. In this research, we developed ... -
Studying pupillary light reflex in young children with autism spectrum disorders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Pupillary light reflex (PLR) is a phenomenon wherein the pupil size changes according to retina illumination. PLR of adults and children has been ... -
True depth resolved polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PSOCT) can image sample polarization properties including retardance, diattenuance, and optical axis and has potential applications in many biomedical fields. However, ...
