Abstract
We demonstrate diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) of a subsurface tubular inclusion by using a fiber probe having a single source–detector pair attached to a laparoscopic bipolar device. A forward model was also developed for DRS sensing of an underlying long absorbing tubular inclusion set in parallel to the tissue surface, normal to the line of sight of the source–detector pair, and equidistant from the source and the detector. The model agreed with measurements performed at 500 nm and using a 10 mm source–detector separation (SDS) on an aqueous tissue phantom embedding a tubing of 2 or 4 mm inner diameter that contained 9.1% to 33.3% red dye at a depth of up to 11.5 mm. When tested on solid phantoms using the 10 mm SDS, a tubular inclusion of $ \ge 3\;{\rm mm}$ inner diameter containing 0.05% red dye at a background absorption coefficient of $ 0.021\;{\rm mm}^{-1} $ caused $ \ge 8\% $ change of the signal at 500 nm versus the baseline when the inclusion was shallower than 5 mm. When assessed on avian muscle tissue having a 4 mm tubular inclusion embedded at an edge depth of 2 mm, DRS with the 10 mm SDS differentiated the following contents of the inclusion: 33.3% red dye (mimicking blood), 33.3% green dye, 33.3% yellow dye (mimicking bile), water (mimicking urine), and air.
