A quantitative, non-invasive optical spectroscopy technique for measuring dynamic changes in adipose tissue structure and metabolism in vivo. The technique requires multiple wavelengths of light in the near-infrared (650-1000 nm). Using these wavelengths of light, adipose tissue is illuminated and light that returns to a photodetector is analyzed. From the return signals, the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients (μa and μs′) at each wavelength are calculated. The obtained μa and μs′ values allow for quantification of biomarkers and indices which allow for measurement of fat composition and metabolism. The concentration of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin, the fractional water and lipid content, and information about the size distribution of light scatterers in the adipose tissue are also determined. A detailed and quantitative understanding of fat composition and metabolism is thereby provided which describes the effectiveness of interventions to improve the health of a patient.

A rectal near infrared (NIR) scanning polarization imaging system uses NIR Photonic Prostatoscopy Analyzer (NIRPPA) for prostate cancer detection using light. The NIRPPA consists of a portable rectal NIR scanning polarization imaging unit and an optical fiber-based rectal probe capable of recording sets of 2D images of a prostate through rectum at different wavelengths and depths and obtaining a three dimensional (3D) image of the prostate and 3D locations of abnormal tissue inside the prostate. Diode lasers / light emission diodes (LEDs) with selected emitting wavelengths are used in the NIR spectral range from 650 nm to 2,400 nm corresponding to the four tissue optical windows (#I, 650 nm-950 nm; #II, 1,100 nm-1,350 nm; #III, 1,600 nm-1,870 nm; and #IV, 2,100 nm-2,300 nm). The fingerprint absorptions of water (H2O), Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) in the prostate are used as native biomarkers for prostate cancer detection.

A device for measuring brain oxygen level of a subject, including a probe (210) and a detecting means (220), which are respectively coupled to a processor (230). According to the example, the probe (210) includes three light sources (215a, 215b, 215c) that simultaneously emit the first, second, and third NIR wavelengths across the brain of the subject. The first NIR wavelength is the isosbestic wavelength for oxy-hemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxy-hemoglobin (Hb), the second NIR wavelength is shorter than the first NIR wavelength, and the third NIR wavelength is longer than the first NIR wavelength. The detecting means (220) includes a first, second and third detectors (221, 222, 223) for respectively detecting the NIR intensities of the first, second and third NIR wavelengths traveled across the brain. The processor (230) is configured to determine blood oxygen level based on the measured NIR intensities of the first, second and third NIR wavelengths by use of build-in algorithm derived from Beer-Lambert Law. And method of detecting brain hematoma of a subject by use of the present device.
