초록

본 연구는 쥐의 뇌, 심장, 간, 근육 및 근육부위의 종양조직과 인간의 뇌 조직과 뇌 종양 조직의 광학적 흡수계수를 500nm~900nm 범위의 파장에서 측정하고 비교분석하였다. 광학적 흡수계수는 물질마다 가지고 있는 고유한 성질을 나타내므로 생체조직의 광학계수를 측정하면, 생체 조직의 고유한 특성을 나타낼 수 있다. Spectrograph monometer와 PDA를 이용하여, 동결절편으로 제작한 시편에 대하여 실험하였다. 실험결과, 쥐 조직과 인체의 뇌 조직의 흡수계수는 정상적인 일반 조직과 종양 조직에서 차이가 분명하게 있음을 알 수 있었다. 정상 뇌 조직의 흡수계수는 파장이 변화함에 따라 0.1~0.2$cm^{-1}$사이의 비교적 균일한 값을 보이는데 반하여, 뇌종양 조직의 흡수계수는 파장에 따라서 크게는 약 0.4~0.5$cm^{-1}$정도의 변화가 있다. 본 실험 결과들은 다양한 조직에서의 광학계수 중에서 흡수계수를 측정함으로써, 생체조직의 흡수계수의 변화를 감지하여 질병진단의 지표로 삼을 수 있다.

In this study, we measured the absorption coefficient of the tissues of mouse (brain, heart, liver, muscle and tumor) and human brain (normal and tumor) in the wavelength between 500nm~900nm. The optical coefficient is a representative of the characteristics of the materials. So, we can characterize the biological tissue with the optical coefficients. Using the spectrograph monometer and PDA(Photo Diode Array), we experimented with quick-frozen sectioned specimens. Because the optical coefficient is concerned with the conformation and biochemical component of the biological tissue, we experimented as the wavelength between 500nm~900nm on the normal and tumor samples of the animal and human. For the mouse, there are distinctive differences of the absorption coefficients between normal tissues and tumor. The absorption coefficient of the normal tissue varies 0.1~0.2cm$^{-1}$ with wavelength. But, the absorption coefficient of the brain tumor is changed round about 0.4~0.5cm$^{-1}$ as the wavelength. The absorption coefficients we measured can be a useful implement to detect diseases.
