Benefits of technology

"The present patent is about a system and method for analyzing biological samples using infrared and visible light spectroscopic and imaging techniques. This analysis can be used to diagnose various biological states such as diseases, metabolic states, clinical outcomes, and disease progression. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a reliable and non-invasive tool for diagnosis and monitoring of biological samples."

Problems solved by technology

Conventional spectroscopic devices operate over a limited range of wavelengths due to the operation ranges of the detectors or tunable filters possible.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides for a system and method for analyzing biological samples to thereby provide a diagnosis. A system may comprise an illumination source, a filter and a detector configured to generate at least one of: a visible data set representative of a biological sample, a SWIR data set representative of a biological sample, and combinations thereof. A method may comprise illuminating a biological sample to generate a plurality of photons, filtering a said plurality of interacted photons, detecting

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 225,005, filed on Sep. 2, 2011, entitled “System and Method for Diagnosing a Biological Sample.” This Application is also a continuation-in-part to pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 188,796, filed on Aug. 8, 2008, entitled “Raman Difference Spectra Based Disease Classification,” which itself claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 954,607, filed on Aug. 8, 2007, entitled “Gleason Score Based Cancer Tissue Analysis.” These patent applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.BACKGROUND[0002]The biochemical composition of a cell is a complex mix of biological molecules including, but not limited to, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. The composition and interaction of the biological molecules determines the metabolic state of a cell. The metabolic state of the cell will dictate the type of c...
