    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for contemporaneous measurements of electromagnetic radiation with multiple measuring devices, for producing a high diagnostic sensitivity image while achieving high diagnostic specificity with spectroscopy, for producing illumination for fluorescence/NIR reflectance imaging and white light reflectance imaging, all with the same sensors are disclosed. The method may involve selectively adjusting a gain of an imaging device in at least one wavelength band relative to a gain in at least one other band to produce an optimized image of an object, and may also involve producing a first reflectance signal in a first NIR wavelength band, and producing a second reflectance signal in a second NIR band such that an absorption coefficient ratio of oxyhemoglobin to deoxyhemoglobin in the second wavelength band differs from that in the first wavelength band, to permit the first and second reflectance signals to be used to produce a tissue oxygenation image.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a new method and device for disease detection, more particularly cancer detection, from the analysis of diffuse reflectance spectra measured in vivo during endoscopic imaging. The measured diffuse reflectance spectra are analyzed using a specially developed light-transport model and numerical method to derive quantitative parameters related to tissue physiology and morphology. The method also corrects the effects of the specular reflection and the varying distance between endoscope tip and tissue surface on the clinical reflectance measurements. The model allows us to obtain the absorption coefficient (μa) and further to derive the tissue micro-vascular blood volume fraction and the tissue blood oxygen saturation parameters. It also allows us to obtain the scattering coefficients (μs and g) and further to derive the tissue micro-particles volume fraction and size distribution parameters.

    Abstract: Apparatus for acquiring in vivo images of a site of interest within the internal organs of a body. The apparatus includes an elongate, flexible catheter. The catheter is introducible into the body and has a first end that remains external to the body and a second and positionable adjacent the site of interest. A movable scanning unit having at least one sensor for acquiring images is housed adjacent the second end of the catheter. There is a drive mechanism to control movement of the movable scanning unit from the first external end of the catheter to acquire multiple images of the site of interest. The drive mechanism has a control element extending the length of the catheter lumen adapted for linear movement within the lumen to generate linear or rotational movement of the scanning unit.

    Abstract: This invention provides a body fluid detection method by using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. In this method, some biological macromolecules in body fluid samples could be separated with membrane electrophoresis technique firstly. Next, samples are cut off along with the substrates and touched with glacial acetic acid. Transparent colloid formed while incubating. Then add enhancing substrates and continue to incubate and stir. When solid impurities precipitated, stop incubating and stand for layering. In the end, take upper layer resulted to be tested using SERS detection method and build SERS database. This invention successfully eliminated disturbance of other complex components on the SERS detection of protein, DNA and RNA. High quality SERS spectrum obtained is beneficial to the analysis and process of SERS spectrum.
