Abstract:
Among the applied methods of tissue parameters measurement, a tendency to develop imaging methods based on detection and analysis of natural and forced biooptical phenomena is significant. Transmission variant of light-tissue interaction is considered in the paper. The work on the performed optoelectronic systems for human tissue transillumination is in progress. The transillumination image enables to disclose information on the functional condition, unavailable in the traditional X-ray technique. Preliminary results which were obtained by the authors during the finger and hand transillumination tests are promising. Some of them are presented in the paper. They show that effective imaging is possible even in a simple system and indicate that the further development of the designed noninvasive systems seems to be advisable.
