| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project aimed to establish a diagnosis technology by means of diffuse correlation imaging. In the project, a multi-point high time-resolution photon counting system was constructed for a multiple correlation analysis of the scattering photon through biological tissue. In addtion, a time-resolved system for the scattering photon was combined to determin optical parameters such as the absorption and scattering coefficients. The system was successifully applied for measurements of phantom and rat abnodominal tissue, yielding the scattering, absorption coefficients and correlation time, which carries the information of tissue structure, blood absorption and blood flow, respectively. Finally, the 2D image could be obtained to visualize these parameters. This novel technology will extend current optical methods for diagnosis of biological tissue.
