Abstract
AbstractRegular and frequent blood glucose monitoring is vital in managing diabetes treatment plans and preventing severe complications. Because current invasive techniques impede patient compliance and are not infection-free, many noninvasive methods have been proposed. Among them, optical methods have drawn much attention for their rich optical contrast, but their resolution is degraded in deep tissue. Here, we present an ultrasound-modulated optical sensing (UOS) technique to noninvasively monitor glucose that uses an infrared laser (1645 nm) and a single-element focused ultrasound transducer. Focused ultrasound waves can acoustically localize diffused photons in scattering media, and thus optical contrast can be represented with much enhanced spatial resolution. To maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, we compared the modulation depths of UOS signals in both continuous and burst ultrasound transmission modes. Finally, UOS measurements of various glucose concentrations are presented and compared with those acquired in phantoms with a conventional diffuse optical sensing method. The UOS measurements in a 20 mm thick tissue-mimicking phantom show 26.6% accuracy in terms of mean absolute relative difference (MARD), which indicates the great potential of the proposed technique as a noninvasive glucose sensor.
