A diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) method can quantify skin barrier function and hemoglobin concentration, thereby improving severity evaluation in psoriasis vulgaris, according to a study ...

In an article published in the peer-reviewed SPIE publication Journal of Biomedical Optics (JBO), "Influence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on diffuse reflectance spectra of tissue in breast surgery ...

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), in which the diffuse and scattered light returning from a sample can reveal details of its composition, has been widely studied as a means to measure hemoglobin ...

(HealthDay News) — Dual-modality diffuse reflectance spectroscopy-fluorescence spectroscopy (DRS-FS) can differentiate tumor tissue from surrounding tissue in patients undergoing colorectal cancer ...

Experimental DRS setup. (Courtesy: S Dadgar et al J. Biomed. Opt. 23 067001/CC BY 3.0). Tumour hypoxia is associated with poor clinical outcome following radiation or chemotherapy in cancer patients.

Detecting cancer during its early stages, that is, before it spreads to other parts of the body, almost always leads to better treatment outcomes and lower mortality rates. However, for people without ...

We apply routine techniques of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to establish a systematic procedure for global analysis of the in situ reflectance from coastal water over the 400-900 nm region of the ...
