| The '''Optical window''' <ref>Tromberg, B.J., Shah, N., Lanning, R., Cerussi, A., Espinoza, J., Pham, T., Svaasand, L., and Butler, J. (2000). Non-invasive in vivo characterization of breast tumors using photon migration spectroscopy. Neoplasia 2, 26–40</ref> (also known as therapeutic window) defines the range of wavelengths where light has its maximum depth of penetration in tissue. Within the NIR window, scattering is the most dominant light-tissue interaction, and therefore the propagating light becomes diffuse rapidly. Since scattering increases the distance travelled by photons within tissue, the probability of photon absorption also increases. Because scattering has weak dependence on wavelength, the optical window is primarily limited by absorption, due to either blood at short wavelengths or water at long wavelengths. The technique using this window is called [[near-infrared spectroscopy|NIRS]].

| ==Absorption properties of tissue components==
| |
| The absorption coefficient (<math>\mu_{a} \,</math>) is defined as the probability of photon absorption in tissue per unit path length.<ref name = Wang_BioMedBooK>{{cite book |author=LV Wang and HI Wu |title=Biomedical Optics|publisher=Wiley |year=2007|isbn=978-0-471-74304-0}}</ref> Different tissue components have different <math>\mu_a \,</math> values. Moreover, <math>\mu_a \,</math> is a function of wavelength. Below are discussed the absorption properties of the most important [[chromophores]] in tissue. Also, molar extinction coefficient (<math>\varepsilon \,</math>) is another parameter that is often used to describe photon absorption in tissue. By multiplying e by the molar concentration and by ln(10), one can convert <math>\varepsilon \,</math> to <math>\mu_a \,</math>.

| [[File:Hemoglobin extinction.png|thumb|right|200 px|alt='''Figure 1:''' The molar extinction coefficients of HbO2 and Hb .|'''Figure 1:''' The molar extinction coefficients of HbO2 and Hb.<ref>Molar extinction coefficients of oxy and deoxyhemoglobin compiled by Scott Prahl. URL: http://omlc.ogi.edu/spectra/hemoglobin.</ref>]] | |
| | |
| '''Blood:''' Blood consists of two different types of [[hemoglobin]]: oxyhemoglobin (<math>HbO_2 \,</math>) is bound to oxygen, while deoxyhemoglobin (<math>Hb \,</math>) is unbound to oxygen. These two different types of hemoglobin exhibit different absorption spectra that are normally represented in terms of molar extinction coefficients, as shown in Figure 1. The molar extinction coefficient of Hb has its highest absorption peak at 420 nm and a second peak at 580 nm. Its spectrum then gradually decreases as light wavelength increases. On the other hand, <math>HbO_2 \,</math> shows its highest absorption peak at 410 nm, and two secondary peaks at 550 nm and 600 nm. As light wavelengths passes 600 nm, <math>HbO_2 \,</math> absorption decays much faster than Hb absorption. The points where the molar extinction coefficient spectra of <math>Hb \,</math> and <math>HbO_2 \,</math> intersect are called [[isosbestic points]].
| |
| | |
| By using two different wavelengths, it is possible to calculate the concentrations of oxyhemoglobin (<math>C_{HbO2} \,</math>) and deoxyhemoglobin (<math>C_{Hb}\,</math>) as shown in the following equations:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mu_a(\lambda_1) = \ln(10)\varepsilon_{HbO2}(\lambda_1)C_{HbO2}+\ln(10)\varepsilon_{Hb}(\lambda_1)C_{Hb} \,</math>
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mu_a(\lambda_2) = \ln(10)\varepsilon_{HbO2}(\lambda_2)C_{HbO2}+\ln(10)\varepsilon_{Hb}(\lambda_2)C_{Hb} \,</math>

| [[File:Water absorption.png|thumb|200 px| right|alt='''Figure 2:''' The absorption spectrum of water .|'''Figure 2:''' The absorption spectrum of water.<ref>G. M. Hale, and M. R. Querry, Optical constants of water in the 200 nm to 200 µm wavelength region, Appl. Opt., 12, 555-563, 1973.</ref>]]
| |
| | |
| Here, <math>\lambda_1 \,</math> and <math>\lambda_2 \,</math> are the two wavelengths; <math>\varepsilon_{HbO2} \,</math> and <math>\varepsilon_{Hb} \,</math> are the molar extinction coefficients of <math>HbO_2 \,</math> and <math>Hb \,</math>, respectively; <math>C_{HbO2} \,</math> and <math>C_{Hb} \,</math> are the molar concentrations of <math>HbO_2 \,</math> and <math>Hb \,</math> in tissue, respectively.
| |
| Oxygen saturation (<math>SO_2 \,</math>) can then be computed as
| |
| | |
| :<math>SO_2=\frac {C_{HbO2}} {C_{HbO2}+C_{Hb}}</math>
| |
| | |
| '''Water:''' Although water is nearly transparent in the range of visible light, it becomes absorbing over the near-infrared region. Water is a critical component since its concentration is high in human tissue. The absorption spectrum of water in the range from 250 to 1000 nm is shown in Figure 2.
| |
| | |
| Other tissue components with less significant contributions to the total absorption spectrum of tissue are melanin and fat.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Melanin extinction.PNG|thumb|right|200 px|alt='''Figure 3:''' Figure 3: The molar extinction coefficients of eumelanin and pheomelanin.|'''Figure 3:''' The molar extinction coefficients of eumelanin and pheomelanin.<ref name = EX>S. Jacques, Extinction coefficient of melanin. URL: http://omlc.ogi.edu/spectra/melanin/extcoeff.html.</ref>]]
| |
| | |
| '''Melanin:''' Melanin is a chromophore that exists in the human epidermal layer of skin responsible for protection from harmful UV radiation. When melanocytes are stimulated by solar radiation, melanin is produced.<ref name=VO>{{cite book |author=T. Vo-Dinh |title=Biomedical Photonics Handbook |publisher=Taylor & Francis, Inc.|year=2002 |isbn= 0-8493-1116-0 }}</ref> Melanin is one of the major absorbers of light in some biological tissue (although its contribution is smaller than other components). There are two types of melanin: eumelanin which is black-brown and pheomelanin which is red-yellow.<ref>George Zonios and Aikaterini Dimou, Ioannis Bassukas, Dimitrios Galaris, and Argyrios Ysolakidis and Efthimios Kaxiras, J. Biomed. Opt., Vol.13, 014017, 2008.</ref> The molar extinction coefficient spectra corresponding to both types are shown in Figure 3.

Sterenborg, A. Pifferi, A. Torricelli, and R. Cubeddu, OSA Annual BIOMED Topical Meeting, 2004</ref>]]
| |
| | |
| '''Fat:''' Fat is one of the major components in tissue that can comprise 10-40% of tissue. Although not many mammalian fat spectra are available, Figure 4 shows an example extracted from.<ref name=RLP/> This plot was obtained from clear purified oil from pig lard. The detailed purification process is explained in.<ref name=RLP/>
| |
| | |
| ==Scattering properties of tissue components==
| |
| Optical scattering occurs due to mismatches in refractive index of the different tissue components, ranging from cell membranes to whole cells. Cell nuclei and mitochondria are the most important scatterers.<ref name="Wang_BioMedBooK"/> Their dimensions range from 100 nm to 6 μm. Most of these organelles exhibit highly forward-directed scattering.<ref name=VO/>
| |
| | |
| Light scattering in biological tissue is denoted by the scattering coefficient (<math>\mu_s</math>), which is defined as the probability of photon scattering in tissue per unit path length.<ref name="Wang_BioMedBooK"/>
| |
| | |
| ==Effective attenuation coefficient==
| |
| | |
| [[File:Transport scattering coefficient spectrum.png|thumb|right|200 px|alt='''Figure 5:''' Figure 5: The absorption coefficient spectrum of fat .|'''Figure 5:''' : Transport scattering coefficient spectrum of human breast tissue.<ref name = SS>S.

| | |
| Attenuation of light in deep biological tissue depends on the effective attenuation coefficient (<math>\mu_{eff} \,</math>), which is defined as
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mu_{eff}=\sqrt{3\mu_a(\mu_a+\mu'_s)}</math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>\mu^'_s</math> is the transport scattering coefficient defined as
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mu'_s=\mu_s (1-g) \,</math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>g</math> is the anisotropy of biological tissue, which has a representative value of 0.9. Figure 5 shows a plot of transport scattering coefficient spectrum in breast tissue, which has a wavelength dependence of <math>\lambda \,^{-0.7}</math>.<ref name=SS/> The effective attenuation coefficient is the dominant factor for determining light attenuation at depth <math>d \,</math> >> 1/ <math>\mu'_s \,</math>.
| |
| | |
| ==Estimation of the optical window in tissue==
| |
| | |
| The optical window can be computed based on the absorption coefficient spectrum or the effective attenuation coefficient spectrum. A possible criterion for selecting the NIR window is given by the FWHM of the inverse of these spectra as shown in Figure 7.
| |
| | |
| In addition to the total concentration of hemoglobin, the oxygen saturation will define the concentration of oxy and deoxyhemoglobin in tissue and so the total absorption spectrum. Depending on the type of tissue, we can consider different situations.Below, the total concentration of hemoglobin is assumed to be 2.3 mM.
