Title: Speckle reduction in optical coherence tomography by path length encoded angular compounding
Inventor: TEARNEY GUILLERMO J
IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: Speckle, a factor reducing image quality in optical coherence tomography ("OCT"), can limit the ability to identify cellular structures that are important for the diagnosis of a variety of diseases. The present invention allows for an implementation of an angular compounding, angular compounding by path length encoding ("ACPE") for reducing speckle in OCT images. By averaging images obtained at different incident angles, with each image encoded by path length, ACPE maintains high-speed image acquisition and implements minimal modifications to OCT probe optics. ACPE images obtained from tissue phantoms and human skin in vivo demonstrate a qualitative improvement over traditional OCT and an increased signal-to-noise ratio ("SNR"). Accordingly, apparatus probe catheter, and method are provided for irradiating a sample. In particular, an interferometer (5) may forward forwarding an electromagnetic radiation (10). In addition, a sample arm may receive the electromagnetic radiation, and can include an arrangement (20) which facilitates a production of at least two radiations (30, 40) from the electromagnetic radiation so as to irradiate the sample. Such arrangement can be configured to delay a first radiation of the at least two radiations with respect to a second radiation of the at least two radiations.

Abstract: Aerosol preparations comprising a sealed container and enclosed therein an aerosol composition containing a macrolide compound (e.g., tacrolimus) have had the following problem. Part of the macrolide compound as the main drug is adsorbed on the resin constituting the "gasket" of the valve part, depending on the kind of the resin. When the aerosol preparation is stored, the makeup of the aerosol composition hence changes with time and the proportion of the main drug in the aerosol composition decreases. The problem is eliminated by an aerosol preparation which comprises a sealed container and enclosed therein an aerosol composition containing a macrolide compound and in which the "gasket" of the valve part of the sealed container is made of one or more resin materials selected among butyl rubbers, ethylene/propylene rubbers, chloroprene rubbers, polyethylene, polybutylene terephthalate, polyacetals, polyamides, polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene, and thermoplastic elastomers.

Abstract: A method of improving the resistance of collagenous tissue to mechanical degradation in accordance with the present invention comprises the step of contacting at least a portion of a collagenous tissue with an effective amount of a crosslinking reagent. Methods and devices for enhancing the body's own efforts to stabilize discs in scoliotic spines by increasing collagen crosslinks. This stability enhancement is caused by reducing the bending hysteresis and increasing the bending stiffness of scoliotic spines, by injecting non-toxic crosslinking reagents into the convex side of discs involved in the scoliotic curve. Alternatively, contact between the tissue and the crosslinking reagent is effected by placement of a time~-release delivery system directly into or onto the target tissue. Methods and devices that use crosslinking agents for increasing the permeability of an intervertebral disc, improving fluid flux to the intervertebral disc, and increasing the biological viability of cells within the intervertebral disc are provided.
