| dc.description.abstract | Hyperspectral imaging with high spectral and spatial resolution can be used to
analyse material using spectroscopic methods. This technique can be applied to
human tissue as a general purpose diagnostics tool and as an aid to medical personnel.
The light propagation in tissue can be modelled in numerous ways, among others is the radiative transport equation (RTE) and its approximation the diffusion
approximation. The goal of this project is to assemble a camera system and use
these models to characterise atopic dermatitis in children health. This will be done
trough measurements with spectrometers and the assembled camera system and
compare the two.
There was found a noticeable difference in the skin with and without atopic dermatitis,
but quantitatively this has to be future explored. The proposed camera system was
found not to be working, thought to be caused by internal reflection and miss alignment of optical components in the system.
These results can, in the future, be applied to a real-time diagnosis system to detect,
and reduce the over and under treatment of atopic dermatitis | |
