Monitoring the skin structure during edema in vivo with spatially resolved diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Significance

Edema occurs in the course of various skin diseases. It manifests itself in changes in water concentrations in skin layers: dermis and hypodermis and their thicknesses. In medicine and cosmetology, objective tools are required to assess the skin's physiological parameters. The dynamics of edema and the skin of healthy volunteers were studied using spatially resolved diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) in conjunction with ultrasound (US).

Aim

In this work, we have developed a method based on DRS with a spatial resolution (SR DRS), allowing us to simultaneously assess water content in the dermis, dermal thickness, and hypodermal thickness.

Approach

An experimental investigation of histamine included edema using SR DRS under the control of US was conducte
