History of Changes
  Purpose

The researcher at the Beckman Laser Institute develop non-invasive imaging modalities for assessment of port wine stain (PWS) during laser therapy treatment. The imaging modalities will be used to guide immediate retreatment of regions of persistent perfusion during the procedure.


Condition Intervention
PORT WINE STAIN
 Device: Laser Speckle Imaging and Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Monitoring the Response of PWS Birthmarks to Laser Therapy With Wide-field

Further study details as provided by University of California, Irvine:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Method to monitor the response of laser treatment of port wien stain [ Time Frame: 1 week ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The proposed research is significant, because our image-guided surgery approach will show color images which will be used to adjust energy of the laser treatment, reducing ultimately the number of treatment sessions and the associated medical care burden.

    Assessment of port wine stain birthmarks to laser therapy
    Other Name: LSI & SFDI are deveoped at UCI Beckman Laser Insitute.
Detailed Description:

The degree of photocoagulation caused by laser therapy will be assessed with LSI and SFDI.The imaging system operates by projecting low-power near-infrared structured light patterns on to the tissue of interest in a non-contact, reflection geometry and then capturing the reflectance with a CCD camera.The system can image the depth-resolved optical properties of in-vivo tissues, allowing rapid, non-invasive 3D visualization of sub-surface structures.
