Development of a Diffraction Imaging Flow Cytometer for Study of Biological Cells
Jacobs, Kenneth M. (East Carolina University, 2010)Visible light interacts with biological cells primarily through elastic scattering. With coherent excitation the scattered light is coherent as well and contains much information about the cells morphology but with the ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD FOR FULL CHARACTERIZATION OF TURBIDITY
Mutisya, Stephen M (East Carolina University, 2022-07-21)Characterization of turbid materials by determining their inherent optical properties have attracted strong research interest for potentially wide applications in fields such as material analysis and biomedical optics. The ... -
In vivo imaging and modeling of artery blood pressure wave and interaction with light in time domain
Jin, Jiahong (East Carolina University, 2021-11-29)Artery blood flow driven by pressure wave is essential for human life. The long-term research goal is to establish a foundation for future translation of the imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) method into applications ... -
Mathematical Modeling of Oxygen Transport, Cell Killing and Cell Decision Making in Photodynamic Therapy of Cancer
Gkigkitzis, Ioannis (East Carolina University, 2012)In this study we present a model of in vitro cell killing through type II Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for simulation of the molecular interactions leading to cell death in time domain in the presence of oxygen transport ... -
PROFILING EFFUSION CELLS BY QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF MORPHOLOGY AND DIFFRACTION IMAGING PATTERNS
Al-Qaysi, Safaa (East Carolina University, 2019-04-12)Profiling cells in human pleural and peritoneal effusion (PPE) samples is an essential task for cytological diagnosis of cancers and patient management. Conventional PPE cytology of a PPE sample is labor intensive and its ... -
