Morphological changes in blood vessels produced by hyperosmotic agents and measured by optical coherence tomography[para]

From: Photochemistry and Photobiology | Date: May 1, 2003| Author: | Copyright information

ABSTRACT

Optical tissue clearing by hyperosmotic chemical agents significantly increases light depth penetration in skin and may improve light-based therapeutics such as laser treatment of cutaneous vascular lesions. A feasibility study was conducted to evaluate the potential role of optical clearing by glycerol in laser treatment of cutaneous vessels. Optical imaging was performed to investigate the morphological effects of glycerol on blood vessels of skin. Blood vessels were imaged using Doppler optical coherence tomography in in vivo hamster skin treated with glycerol. Images were ...
