Abstract

The aim of this study is to
determine the estimation of hemoglobin concentration and oxygen saturation of
tissue by non-invasively functional laser imaging for early skin cancer
diagnosis. The early diagnosis of melanoma is a key factor that remarkably
reduces the mortality rate. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy is a very useful
device for diagnosis and treatment purposes under in-vivo conditions. At this
point, the aforementioned device, which takes into account the scattering of
tissue, is to determine the concentration of chromophores (or optical
absorbers) due to attenuated light strikes to the superficial layer of tissue.
Laser-type light based imaging techniques in medical diagnosis substantially
produce good results. Consequently, the aim of this study is to estimate HbO₂
(%) and Hb (%) concentrations by use of a single wavelength (680 nm).
