Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Biophotonics
  • Tissue Optics

Background:

  • Tissue optical clearing (TOC) methods aim to increase photon density within tissues.
  • Existing TOC techniques often involve physico-chemical approaches.
  • Enhancing photon delivery is crucial for various biomedical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel compression-controlled low-level laser probe (CCLLP) system.
  • To investigate the effect of mechanical tissue compression on laser photon density (LPD).
  • To assess the clinical feasibility of the CCLLP system for enhancing LPD.

Main Methods:

  • A CCLLP system was designed utilizing mechanical tissue compression.
  • Negative compression (NC) was applied to laser probes of varying diameters (20, 30, 40 mm).
  • Laser irradiation was performed on ex-vivo porcine skin, and LPD was analyzed using 2D diffusion imaging.

Main Results:

  • The CCLLP system produced a concentrated laser beam profile, enhancing LPD.
  • Increased NC led to higher laser peak intensity and decreased full width at half maximum (FWHM).
  • Peak intensity increased 2.74–3.64 fold at –30 kPa across different probe diameters; sample temperature rose by 0.4 K.

Conclusions:

  • The CCLLP system effectively enhances laser photon density in tissues via mechanical compression.
  • The system demonstrates potential for improved clinical applications requiring precise light delivery.
  • Mechanical compression offers a viable alternative to physico-chemical methods for TOC.
