Shortwave infrared spatial frequency domain imaging for detection of changes in tissue hydration
The findings suggest that, under the specific circumstances tested here, the reduced scattering coefficient may be a more sensitive indicator of tissue hydration than absorption. This sensitivity to small changes in water content underscores the potential clinical utility of SWIR SFDI for non-invasive hydration assessment in biological tissues. This technique offers promising applications for clinical diagnostics and physiological monitoring.
