      Combination of optical coherence tomography and near infrared spectroscopy enhances determination of articular cartilage composition and structure
      Conventional arthroscopic evaluation of articular cartilage is subjective and poorly reproducible. Therefore, implementation of quantitative diagnostic techniques, such as near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), is essential. Locations ( n =44) with various cartilage conditions were selected from mature equine fetlock joints ( n =5). These locations and their surroundings were measured with NIRS and OCT ( n =530). As a reference, cartilage proteoglycan (PG) and collagen contents, and collagen ...

      Noninvasive control of influence of polyethylene glycol on transport function of fluorescent colored liposomal nanoparticles
      The studies were carried out on groups of clinically healthy mice line of outbred CD-1 stock. The model animals were divided into 2 groups and received experimental liposomal formulations. Using the method of fluorescence spectroscopy, we investigated the effectiveness of penetration into the circulatory system of fluorescently stained liposomes with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and without PEG when administered orally. Fluorescence channel with a fiber probe series of multifunctional laser non-invasive ...

      Optical coherence tomography enables accurate measurement of equine cartilage thickness for determination of speed of sound
      Background and purpose Arthroscopic estimation of articular cartilage thickness is important for scoring of lesion severity, and measurement of cartilage speed of sound (SOS)a sensitive index of changes in cartilage composition. We investigated the accuracy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in measurements of cartilage thickness and determined SOS by combining OCT thickness and ultrasound (US) time-of-flight (TOF) measurements. Material and methods Cartilage thickness measurements from OCT and microscopy images ...

      Quantification of cell-free layer thickness and cell distribution of blood by optical coherence tomography
      A high-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) with 1 - m axial resolution was applied to assess the thickness of a cell-free layer (CFL) and a spatial distribution of red blood cells (RBC) next to the microchannel wall. The experiments were performed in vitro in a plain glass microchannel with a width of 2 mm and height of 0.2 mm. RBCs were suspended in phosphate buffered saline solution at the hematocrit ...

      Optical clearing of articular cartilage: a comparison of clearing agents
      Optical clearing technique was applied to the problem of OCT imaging of articular cartilage and subchondral bone. We show that optical clearing significantly enhances visualization of articular cartilage and cartilage-bone interface. The effect of different clearing agents was analyzed. For the clearing, iohexol solution and propylene glycol (PG) were used. Clearing was performed in vitro at room temperature by immersion method. Cylindrical osteochondral samples (d=4.8mm) were drilled from ...

      Imaging of subchondral bone by optical coherence tomography upon optical clearing of articular cartilage
      Optical clearing is an effective method to reduce light scattering of biological tissues that provides significant enhancement of light penetration into the biological tissues making non-invasive diagnosis more feasible. In current report Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in conjunction with optical clearing is applied for assessment of deep cartilage layers and cartilage-bone interface. The solution of Iohexol in water has been used as an optical clearing agent. The cartilage-bone boundary becomes ...

      Evaluation of Freshness of Soft Tissue Samples with Optical Coherence Tomography Assisted by Low Frequency Electric Field
      We present an optical coherence tomography based methodology to determine freshness of soft tissue samples by evaluation of their interaction with low frequency electric field. Various biological tissues samples of different stages of freshness were exposed by low frequency electric current. The influence of the low frequency electric field on tissues was observed and quantified by the double correlation optical coherence tomography (dcOCT) approach developed in house. The quantitative evaluation ...

      Gold nanostructures for OCT imaging of capillary flow
      In this paper, plasmon-resonant nanostructures, such as gold nanostars and their silica-coated composites, were used for enhancement of OCT image contrast of water flows in glass capillaries. The contrasting properties of the synthesized nanostars and nanocomposites with silica shell thickness of about 5 nm and 50 nm were compared in the framework of capillary stasis model. The most intensive signal was detected from the nanocomposites with the thickest silica shell ...
