Dynamic diffuse optical tomography imaging of peripheral arterial disease

Abstract: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the narrowing of arteries due to plaque accumulation in the vascular walls. This leads to insufficient blood supply to the extremities and can ultimately cause cell death. Currently available methods are ineffective in diagnosing PAD in patients with calcified arteries, such as those with diabetes. In this paper we investigate the potential of dynamic diffuse optical tomography (DDOT) as an alternative way to assess PAD in the lower extremities. DDOT is a non-invasive, non-… Show more

“…Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapidly evolving non-invasive technique applied to study oxygenation-related processes in biological tissue [1][2][3] and to facilitate the diagnosis of diseases associated with abnormal oxygen supply to tissue, such as stroke [4], cancer [5], peripheral arterial disease [6], or traumatic brain injury [7]. However, despite the recent impressive growth of NIRS applications -there are 42 NIRS clinical studies currently underway around the world [8] -there are still some drawbacks compared to other imaging modalities (e.g.…”

“…Wang 53 used a binarized segmentation technique to select the regions with the dominant response, while in another study by Cuccia et al, 54 regions with large vessels were avoided to focus on regions containing only microvasculature. Recently, Khalil et al 55 employed correlation analysis to define regions of temporal consistency that correlate significantly with the averaged HbT. Their results showed some differences in the evolution of HbT between a healthy volunteer and a patient with PAD, which were not evident from the average signals alone.…”

“…[4][5][6][7][8] In the wavelength range from 600 nm to 1100 nm, tissues behave as weakly absorbing but highly scattering media and light can deeply penetrate: this enables to estimate the concentration of dominant absorbers in the biological tissue (like hemoglobin, water, and lipids). In recent years, various attempts have been worked out to use nearinfrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in different clinical applications to obtain, for example, information about the oxygenation of blood in tissues [9][10][11][12][13] or for other diagnostics purposes. [4][5][6][7][8] In most cases, optical fibers are used to inject light into tissues and a) Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.…”
