TAILIEUCHUNG - HIV-INFECTION – IMPACT, AWARENESS AND SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS

To our knowledge, the only study on Breslow index determination using DRS was carried out on phantoms as a preliminary study prior to a clinical trial. Two-layer phantoms mimicking dermis ( mm thick) for the bottom layer and melanoma (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm) for the upper layer were made of gelatine as a solid 3D-matrix, intralipids for the scattering properties and coffee for the absorbing properties of melanoma. Based on the slopes of decreasing intensities recorded at the 5 different inter-fibre distances (271, 536, 834, 1076 and 1341 μm), the five different top layers’ thicknesses could be discriminated. Further works need to discriminate thicknesses. | HIV-INFECTION -IMPACT AWARENESS AND SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF LIVING WITH HIV AIDS Edited by Eugenia Barros HIV-Infection - Impact Awareness and Social Implications of Living with HIV AIDS Edited by Eugenia Barros Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
