The influence of spatial patterns of capillary networks on transverse relaxation

Tissue-inherent relaxation parameters offer valuable information about the arrangement of capillaries: in an external field, capillaries act as magnetic perturbers to generate local inhomogeneous fields due to the susceptibility difference of deoxygenated blood and the surrounding tissue. These field inhomogeneities influence the free induction decay in a characteristic way, and, conversely, the above tissue parameters can be recovered by multi-parametric fits of adequate theoretical models to experimentally sampled free induction decays. In this work we study the influence of different spatial patterns of capillary positions on the free induction decay. Starting from the standard single capillary approximation (Krogh cylinder) for a symmetric array of capillaries, the free induction decay is analyzed for increasingly random capillary positions, using a previously described Gibbs point field model. The effects of diffusion are implemented with a flexible and fast random walk simulation. We find that the asymmetric form of the obtained frequency distribution is more robust against variations of capillary radii than against shifts of capillary positions, and further that, for an inclusion of diffusion effects, the single capillary approximation models the uniform alignment of capillaries in the hexagonal lattice to great accuracy. An increase in randomization of capillary positions then leads to a significant change in relaxation times. This effect, however, is found less pronounced than that of changes in the off-resonance field strengths which are controlled by the oxygen extraction fraction, thus indicating that observed changes in BOLD imaging are more likely to be attributed to changes in oxygenation than to capillary alignment.     

Laser-induced photodissociation of oxyhemoglobin: Optical method of elimination of hypoxia (oxygen deficiency in biotissue)

We consider the effect of laser-induced in vivo photodissociation of blood oxyhemoglobin on gas exchange in biological tissues. An optical method of laser-induced oxygenation of biotissues is developed and proposed. We show that, in the region of the action of the laser radiation, the degree of oxygenation of a tissue increases. We experimentally confirm that the phenomenon of laser-induced in vivo photodissociation of oxyhemoglobin opens up a new possibility of controlling the local concentration of free molecular oxygen in tissues, eliminating tissue hypoxia, and stimulating aerobic metabolism of cells. We show that the efficiency of the proposed method of laser-induced oxygenation of biotissues proves to be comparable with the efficiency of the hyperbaric oxygenation, but has the advantage of the locality of the action. The proposed optical method of local oxygenation of biotissues will make it possible to eliminate the problem of hypoxia in cancerous tumor tissue and to considerably increase the efficiency of photodynamic, radiation, and chemotherapy in modern oncology.     

The biomedical effect of laser-induced photodissociation of oxyhemoglobin in vivo

It is demonstrated that the photodissociation of oxyhemoglobin in cutaneous blood vessels and capillaries allows additional extraction of molecular oxygen, prevents hypoxia, and stimulates aerobic metabolism of cells. On the basis of the studied phenomena, a new optical technology of local oxygenation of tissue directly in the zone of laser irradiation has been developed. It is shown that the efficiency of the proposed method for laser-induced oxygenation of biotissues is comparable with the efficiency of hyperbaric oxygenation, with local action being an additional advantage. Various aspects of the applications of the new technology in modern medicine in which the elimination of local hypoxia is needed are discussed. The proposed optical method for local oxygenation of biotissues makes it possible to solve the hypoxia problem in malignant tissue and substantially increase the efficiency of photodynamic, radiation, and chemical therapy in modern oncology.     

The lag of cerebral hemodynamics with rapidly alternating periodic stimulation: modeling for functional MRI

A mathematical model that characterizes the response of venous oxygenation to changes in cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and oxygen consumption has been previously presented. We use this model to examine the dampening phenomenon in functional MRI (fMRI) signals with rapidly alternating periodic stimulation bursts. Using a mass balance approach, the equations for an input-output model are derived and solved using Matlab (the Math Works Inc.). Changes in venous oxygenation are related to the results of fMRI experiments using progressively shorter periods of stimulation. An impulse-response function for the model is derived in an attempt to explore the source of the lag in cerebral hemodynamics. Increasing the frequency of stimulation bursts eventually produces a dampening in the fMRI signal. The dampening phenomenon in fMRI signals occurs with stimulation of high frequency on-off alternation. The dynamics of signal dampening, as well as the impulse-response function of a blood oxygen level-dependent model, lend strong indirect support to the hypothesis that blood oxygen level-dependent contrast at the level of the venous blood pool, rather than R1 inflow effects or changes in oxygenation at the level of the capillary bed, underlies the observed signal changes in fMRI.     

Estimation of Absorbing Components in a Local Layer Embedded in the Turbid Media on the Basis of Visible to Near- Infrared (VIS-NIR) Reflectance Spectra

A new method is studied for estimating the hemoglobin concentration and oxygenation of a local blood layer in a human skin tissue model on the basis of visible and near infrared reflectance spectra. This method uses the iterative Monte Carlo technique for a multi-layered skin tissue model. The numerical simulation was performed to investigate the effects of estimation errors for epidermis and dermis layers on the results for the local blood layer. Experiments with skin tissue phantoms were performed to verify the possibility of this method.     

Light reflection spectra as a diagnostic tool for the structural and biophysical parameters of skin

The calculation scheme and the diagnostic algorithm for diagnosing the structural and biophysical parameters of skin from the spectrum of reflected radiation are constructed. The sought parameters are determined from the solution of the spectroscopic problem under conditions of multiple scattering. The method presented is based on the previously proposed model of the spectral properties of a tissue and on the engineering approaches to the solution of the transfer equation. The sought parameters are the volume concentrations of melanin and capillaries, the thickness of epidermis, the average diameter of capillaries, and the degree of blood oxygenation. In order to optimize the algorithm with respect to wavelength and to elaborate the experimental diagnostic scheme, the sensitivity of the reflection spectrum to the sought parameters is studied. The procedure of their successive restoration is proposed.

Failure to direct detect magnetic field dephasing corresponding to ERP generation

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the method of choice for mapping brain activity in human subjects and detects changes in regional blood oxygenation and volume associated with local changes in neuronal activity. While imaging based on blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast has good spatial resolution and sensitivity, the hemodynamic signal develops relatively slowly and is only indirectly related to neuronal activity. An alternative approach termed magnetic source magnetic resonance imaging (msMRI) is based on the premise that neural activity may be mapped by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with greater temporal resolution by detecting the local magnetic field perturbations associated with local neuronal electric currents. We used a hybrid ms/BOLD MRI method to investigate whether msMRI could detect signal changes that occur simultaneously at the time of the production of well-defined event-related potentials, the P300 and N170, in regions that previously have been identified as generators of these electrical signals. Robust BOLD activations occurred after some seconds, but we were unable to detect any significant changes in the T2*-weighted signal in these locations that correlated temporally with the timings of the evoked response potentials (ERPs).

Component structure of event-related fMRI responses in the different neurovascular compartments

In most functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, brain activity is localized by observing changes in the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal that are believed to arise from capillaries, venules and veins in and around the active neuronal population. However, the contribution from veins can be relatively far downstream from active neurons, thereby limiting the ability of BOLD imaging methods to precisely pinpoint neural generators. Hemodynamic measures based on apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) have recently been used to identify more upstream functional blood flow changes in the capillaries, arterioles and arteries. In particular, we recently showed that, due to the complementary vascular sensitivities of ADC and BOLD signals, the voxels conjointly activated by both measures may identify the capillary networks of the active neuronal areas. In this study, we first used simultaneously acquired ADC and BOLD functional imaging signals to identify brain voxels activated by ADC only, by both ADC and BOLD and by BOLD only, thereby delineating voxels relatively dominated by the arterial, capillary, and draining venous neurovascular compartments, respectively. We then examined the event-related fMRI BOLD responses in each of these delineated neurovascular compartments, hypothesizing that their event-related responses would show different temporal componentries. In the regions activated by both the BOLD and ADC contrasts, but not in the BOLD-only areas, we observed an initial transient signal reduction (an initial dip), consistent with the local production of deoxyhemoglobin by the active neuronal population. In addition, the BOLD-ADC overlap areas and the BOLD-only areas showed a clear poststimulus undershoot, whereas the compartment activated by only ADC did not show this component. These results indicate that using ADC contrast in conjunction with BOLD imaging can help delineate the various neurovascular compartments, improve the localization of active neural populations, and provide insight into the physiological mechanisms underlying the hemodynamic signals.

Local Magnetic Nanoparticle Delivery in Microvasculature

The transport and capture of therapeutic magnetic nanoparticles in human microvasculature is studied numerically. The nanoparticles are injected into a vascular system upstream from malignant tissue, and are captured at the tumour site with the aid of a local applied magnetic field positioned outside the body. Taking into account the dominant magnetic and fluidic forces on the particles, our study shows that the nanoparticles can be directed to and concentrated at the desired zone that is within a few centimetres from the surface of the body. In addition, influence of the particles size, average blood flow velocity and the diameter of the blood vessel on the captured efficiency are parametrically analysed.     

Pore diameter mapping using double pulsed-field gradient MRI and its validation using a novel glass capillary array phantom

Double pulsed-field gradient (d-PFG) MRI can provide quantitative maps of microstructural quantities and features within porous media and tissues. We propose and describe a novel MRI phantom, consisting of wafers of highly ordered glass capillary arrays (GCA), and its use to validate and calibrate a d-PFG MRI method to measure and map the local pore diameter. Specifically, we employ d-PFG Spin-Echo Filtered MRI in conjunction with a recently introduced theoretical framework, to estimate a mean pore diameter in each voxel within the imaging volume. This simulation scheme accounts for all diffusion and imaging gradients within the diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) sequence, and admits the violation of the short gradient pulse approximation. These diameter maps agree well with pore sizes measured using both optical microscopy and single PFG diffusion diffraction NMR spectroscopy using the same phantom. Pixel-by-pixel analysis shows that the local pore diameter can be mapped precisely and accurately within a specimen using d-PFG MRI.

Real-time in vivo blood-flow imaging by moving-scatterer-sensitive spectral-domain optical Doppler tomography

We present a moving-scatterer-sensitive optical Doppler tomography (MSS-ODT) technique for in vivo blood flow imaging in real time by using a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography system. In MSS-ODT the influence of stationary scatterers is suppressed by subtracting adjacent complex axial scans before calculating the Doppler frequency shift. We demonstrate that MSS-ODT is a useful technique for accurate determination of blood vessel size by imaging flow in a small capillary tube with a 75 microm inner diameter. The flow profile obtained with MSS-ODT yields a substantially more accurate tube diameter than that obtained with the conventional phase-resolved method, which underestimates the diameter by about 23%. We also demonstrate that MSS-ODT provides improved sensitivity over the conventional phase-resolved method for imaging in vivo blood flow in small vessels in a mouse ear.     

Design parameters for measurements of local catalytic activity on surfaces

Computational fluid dynamics in combination with experiments is used to characterize a gas sampling device for measurements of the local catalytic activity on surfaces. The device basically consists of a quartz capillary mounted concentrically inside an aluminum tube. Reactant gas is blown toward the catalytic surface through the annulus between the tubes, and the gas is sampled close to the surface by the capillary. The influence of various design parameters on the lateral resolution and sensitivity of the measurements is investigated. It is found that the outer diameter of the annulus sets the upper limit for the lateral resolution of the measurement, and that a flow rate of the order of 240 (ml/min)_n is sufficient to achieve this resolution. The sensitivity is reasonable also with high flow rates, due to the presence of a pocket of stagnant gas under the tip of the capillary. Furthermore, the limits of the range in reaction rate, which can be studied are estimated.
