Measurement of internal and surface temperatures and optical properties of Zerdine phantom under 635 nm low level laser irradiation		  pdf 

ABSTRACT

In this study, internal and surface temperatures of the Zerdine phantom used as reference material in the ultrasonic imaging processes and its optical properties such as absorbance, transmittance, reflectance, refractive index, and optical attenuation coefficient were investigated by using a low-level laser device which has a 635 nm wavelength. Internal temperatures and the said optical properties were measured successfully. However, due to the transparent color nature of the Zerdine phantom, significant temperature increases could not be detected at the surface of the phantom. Therefore, the phantom material was colored at different concentrations with a color tone close to human skin, and thus surface temperatures were measured in this way. However, it was determined that surface temperature values did not increase too much with increasing color concentration. Therefore, it has been concluded that the use of Zerdine phantom as an ideal background reference material in optical imaging studies makes it advantageous because of its transparent color nature and low optical absorbance value.

Keywords: Low-Level Laser, Zerdine Phantom, Internal and Surface Temperature Measurements, Optical Properties.
