  2. Retrieving Skin Properties From In Vivo Spectral Reflectance Measurements Dmitry Yudovsky and Laurent Pilon by Sharon Minzer

  3. In Vivo Spectral Reflectance Measurements • Main Challenge: Demonstrate the capability of reflectance spectroscopy to: • Determine the structure and thickness of the skin. • Blood volume and oxygen saturation. • Scattering coefficient from in vivo spectral reflectance measurements. • Rapidly and non-invasive monitoring.

  4. About Skin • The largest organ of the human body. • Total surface area of approximately 1.8 m^2. • Total weight of approximately 11 kg for adult. • Skin Structure: • Two main layers: Outer – epidermal, Inner -dermis.

  5. Skin Layers • Epidermal layer is composed of dead cells embedded in a lipid matrix. • Epidermal layer is pigmented by melanin. • Melanin absorbs strongly in the UV. • Melanin concentration is between 0-100 mg/mL of the epidermal. • Epidermal thickness may vary with anatomical, gender, age, health. Ranges between 20-150 micro.

  6. Skin Layers Cont. • Dermis is responsible for the skin pliability, temperature control. • Dermis is composed of collagen fibers perfused by nerves, capillaries and blood vessels. • Dermis thickness ranges between 450-1000 micro.

  7. Hemoglobin Properties • Blood consists of hemoglobin. • Hemoglobin responsible for oxygen transfer (Oxyhemoglobin). • Hemoglobin is known as deoxyhemoglobin once it release its oxygen transfer. • The ratio of oxyhemoglobin to total hemoglobin in blood – oxygen saturation.

  8. Hemoglobin Properties Cont. • Depends on body location and tissue health , the volume of blood in the dermis ranges 0.2-7% • Hemoglobin absorb in the visible and near-infrared part of the spectrum. • The spectral absorption coefficient of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin are differ. • The color of the dermis depends of the local oxygen saturation of the blood.

  9. Uses • Detect a wide variety of medical conditions – Acute and long inflammation, Acne laser. • Melanin concentration correlates with the risk of melanoma skin cancer. • To estimate blood volume during alcohol consumption. • Determine distribution of oxygen saturation in human skin.

  10. Naïve Approach • Optical tomography or ultrasound. • Sample of the skin is removed and analyzed. • Study light transfer in skin using Monte Carlo simulator. • Diffusion approximation to model light transfer through tissue. Alternative An inverse method based on a semi empirical model for the diffuse reflectance from layer media subject

  11. Motivation To Retrieve: • Skin melanin volume, epidermal thickness. • Dermal blood volume and oxygen saturation. • Scattering coefficient from diffuse reflectance spectra of human skin. • Racial differences, UV exposure and anatomical location. • From spectral reflectance measures.

  12. Measurements • 50 male and 21 female of white Caucasian descent. • 21 male and 21 female of black African descent. • Illuminating a circular spot of skin, 1 inch in diameter and collecting the hemispherical reflectance (440-1000 nm) . • 3 locations: (i) Right inner forearm. (ii) Forehead over the left eye. (iii) Left outer forearm.

  13. Inverse Model • Main Challenge: • Develop method accounting optical properties to retrieved physiologically meaningful parameters from the simulated diffuse reflectance spectra of skin. • Diffuse reflectance spectra between 490-620 nm was generated using Monte Carlo simulations.

  14. In Vivo normal-hemispherical spectral reflectance concept

  15. Optical Properties Of Human Skin • The light scattering properties of the skin have been study in the visible and near infrared region of the spectrum (between 490-620nm). • Study light transfer in skin by using Monte Carlo simulation, a stochastic method.

  16. Monte Carlo Simulation • Red, the impact of melanin is strong in range 650-700 nm, the deep red wavelength specify the epidermal melanin. • Green, Yellow, Orange, the impact of blood is maximal in range 540-580 nm, the yellow wavelength can specify the blood content.

  17. Optical Properties Of Human Skin • The linear spectral absorption • The transport scattering coefficient • All units

  18. Optical Properties Of Epidermis • Absorption in the epidermis is mainly due to melanin and flesh. • The volume fraction of melanin. • The background absorption of humen flesh : • Absorption coefficient of melanin:

  19. Optical Properties Of Epidermis • Melanin absorption of UV light is much stronger than that of near infrared light.

  20. Optical Properties Of Dermis • Absorption in the dermis is determined by blood and flesh. • The volume fraction of the dermis occupied by blood. • Blood absorption: • The absorption coefficient of oxyhemoglobin: • is the molar extinction coefficient of oxyhemoglobin in units

  21. Optical Properties Of Dermis, cont. • The average hemoglobin concentration in blood is 150 g/l, • The oxygen saturation • The absorption coefficient of deoxyhemoglobin: • , the molar extinction coefficient of deoxyhemoglobin.

  22. Optical Properties Of Dermis, cont. • Oxyhemoglobin is nearly transparent for wavelength above 600 nm, giving oxygen rich blood its red color.

  23. Spectral Scattering Coefficients • The spectral scattering coefficients of the epidermis and dermis are equal. • The power constant b = 1.5, for all locations. • C range between 10^5- 10^6, defends on the average size of the microscopic feathers of tissue. • Responsible for light scattering in the skin.

  24. Using Inverse Method • Optical properties of skin depend on the property vector: • The measured diffuse reflectance spectrum is denoted by: • A given input parameters • Where is the jth wavelength and j is an integer between 1 and k, wavelength range 490-650 nm.

  25. Hemispherical Diffuse Reflectance From Skin • Yudovsky and Pilon approximate expression for the diffuse reflectance of skin. • The transport single scattering albedos of: • Epidermis . • Dermis . • , Index of refraction of both layers.

  26. Hemispherical Diffuse Reflectance From Skin Cont. • The transport single scattering albedo is defined as:

  27. Reduced Reflectance From Human Skin • The reduced reflectance is: • The modified optical thickness of the epidermis: • Semi empirical parameter:

  28. Diffuse Reflectance Of Homogeneous Layer • The diffuse reflectance of semi infinite homogeneous layer: • The refraction index of tissue • The normal normal reflectivity of tissue/air interface: • The refraction index of air n0 = 1

  29. Inverse Method cont. • This can be achieved by finding vector that minimized the sum: • Where : • is the estimate spectral diffuse reflectance. • is the weight associated with jth. (W =2 for wavelength < 600 nm, W = 1 for > 600nm) • K is the number of wavelengths. • Wavelengths between 490-650 nm

  30. Inverse Method cont. • The values of the estimate vector: • Were constrained between physiologically upper and lower bounds.

  31. Inverse Method cont. • Six values of oxygen saturation, epidermal thickness, melanosome volume fraction, blood volume fraction. • Three values of scattering constant (C) and b. • Total 11,664 simulated spectra using Monte Carlo. • For each spectrum the estimate vector was found by minimizing the Eq. • Explore the effect of each parameter separately, two scenarios were considered.

  32. Inverse Method cont. • First scenario – Assumed that C and b were known. • Second scenario – All parameters assumed unknown. • The minimization was stopped once successive iteration of the algorithm no longer reduced by more than 10^-9. • Multiple random initial guesses for the estimate vector were attempted to prevent convergence to local minimum.

  36. Results • The reconstructed reflectance spectra matches the average measured reflectance within standard deviation, for all locations and for both populations . • For wave length lower than 600 nm, the absolute difference was less than 0.05 for all spectra considered. • Beyond 600 nm, the accuracy diminishes due to week absorption by melanin and hemoglobin.

  38. Conclusion From Results Melanin Concentration • Differences in melanin pigmentation occurred due to racial and exposure to UV. • The value of calculated for the left outer forearm and forehead increased by almost identical amounts compare to the right inner forearm for black and white objects. • Changes in melanin concentration caused by race and tanning can be detected by the inverse method.

  44. Conclusion From Results Scattering constant • The scattering power constant C ranges between approximately , and power law constant b = 1.5. • Varying bbetween 1.3 and 1.5 influenced only the value of constant C. • The reduced scattering coefficient was unaffected by the choice of b for wavelength between 450 and 660nm. • The shape and magnitude of scattering coefficient is similar to other studies.
