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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
