PVOH and spontaneous Raman-based images of spinal cord in the immediate aftermath of localized contusive injury obtained noninvasively and in vivo in a rat model using remitted light from a single spatially scanned laser
Abstract:We produce 2 kinds of images of spinal cord in the immediate aftermath of a localized contusive injury, noninvasively and in vivo in a rat model using remitted light from a single spatially scanned 830 nm laser. Two different processing algorithms/modalities were employed 1) the PVOH algorithm producing images based on the turbidity of the spinal cord tissue which includes the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and 2) Raman spectroscopy which allows images based on pH. Whereas PVOH requires relatively little data proce… Show more
