Characterization of radiofrequency ablated myocardium with optical coherence tomography.

Certain types of cardiac arrhythmias are best treated with radiofrequency (RF) ablation, in which an electrode is inserted into the targeted area of the myocardium and then RF electrical current is applied to heat and destroy surrounding tissue. The resulting ablation lesion usually consists of a coagulative necrotic core surrounded by a rim region of mixed viable and non-viable cells. The characterization of the RF ablated lesion is of potential clinical importance.

Isolating individual polarization effects from the Mueller matrix: comparison of two non-decomposition techniques.

The prevailing formalisms for isolating individual polarization effects from the experimental Mueller matrix can be broadly divided into two categories; decomposition of to derive the individual optical effects and directly associating the individual optical effects to specific elements of (i.e., non-decomposition techniques).

Cell refractive index: Models, insights, applications and future perspectives.

Cell refractive index (RI) is an intrinsic optical parameter that governs the propagation of light (i.e., scattering and absorption) in the cell matrix.

Ex vivo characterization of normal and adenocarcinoma colon samples by Mueller matrix polarimetry.

Mueller matrix polarimetry along with polar decomposition algorithm was employed for the characterization of ex vivo normal and adenocarcinoma human colon tissues by polarized light in the visible spectral range (425-725 nm). Six derived polarization metrics [total diattenuation (DT ), retardance (RT ), depolarization(ΔT ), linear diattenuation (DL), retardance (δ), and depolarization (ΔL)] were compared for normal and adenocarcinoma colon tissue samples. The results show that all six polarimetric properties for adenocarcinoma samples were significantly higher as compared to the normal samples for all wavelengths.
