Validation of a Method to Measure Soft Tissue Thickness Using Near Infrared Laser Light
Validierung Der Bestimmung Der Gewebedicke Mit Hilfe Von Licht im Infrarotbereich
The study is intended to verify a newly developed method to measure the thickness of cranial soft tissue. In the study, a high-resolution MRI scan is used as ground truth for a laser scan of the forehead. The laser scan is acquired point by point with a prototype scanning unit developed at the University of Luebeck's Institute for Robotics.
The measured tissue thickness using the near-infrared scanning approach is validated against the ground truth obtained by the MRI scan. The average accuracy of the reconstruction method is then computed over all subjects from the individual study arms.
The required laser intensity and exposure time as well as the achieved measurement accuracy is evaluated with respect to the different skin types of the test subjects. Correlation between these features and the skin type according to the Fitzpatrick scale will be computed.
For 1/3 of the subjects, the laser and MRI scans are repeated after 2 and 8 weeks. The results of the scans are compared and time dependency is analysed.
