    Real-Time Superficial Vein Imaging System for Observing Abnormalities on Vascular Structures
    (Springer, 2023) Altay, Ayşe; Gümüş, Abdurrahman
    Circulatory system abnormalities might be an indicator of diseases or tissue damage. Early detection of vascular abnormalities might have an important role during treatment and also raise the patient's awareness. Current detection methods for vascular imaging are high-cost, invasive, and mostly radiation-based. In this study, a low-cost and portable microcomputer-based tool has been developed as a Near-Infrared (NIR) superficial vascular imaging device. The device uses NIR Light-Emitting Diode (LED) light at 850 nm along with other electronic and optical components. It operates as a non-contact and safe infrared (IR) imaging method in real-time. Image and video analysis are carried out using OpenCV (Open-Source Computer Vision), a library of programming functions mainly used in computer vision. Various tests were carried out to optimize the imaging system and set up a suitable external environment. To test the performance of the device, the images taken from three diabetic volunteers, who are expected to have abnormalities in the vascular structure due to the possibility of deformation caused by high glucose levels in the blood, were compared with the images taken from two non-diabetic volunteers. As a result, tortuosity was observed successfully in the superficial vascular structures, where the results need to be interpreted by the medical experts in the field to understand the underlying reasons. Although this study is an engineering study and does not have an intention to diagnose any diseases, the developed system here might assist healthcare personnel in early diagnosis and treatment follow-up for vascular structures and may enable further opportunities.

    Fluence (uv Dose) Distribution Assessment of Uv-C Light at 254 Nm on Food Surfaces Using Radiochromic Film Dosimetry Integrated With Image Processing and Convolutional Neural Network (cnn)
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Cankal, Yadigar Seyfi; Ünlütürk, Mehmet S.; Ünlütürk, Sevcan
    Uniform Fluence (UV Dose) distribution on food surfaces is essential for an effective UV process design. In this study, the use of radiochromic films (RCFs) with a computer vision system (CVS) integrating image processing and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is proposed as an alternative method to assess Fluence distribution of UV-C light at 254 nm on food surfaces. The color difference of RCFs exposed to different UV irradiance and exposure times was correlated with Fluence. The validity of the developed methodology was proved by applying it to the surface of apple fruits of different shapes and sizes. A linear relationship was found between the color difference of RCF and Fluence. The maximum Fluence to be determined using RCFs was similar to 60 mJ/cm(2). The color of the films after UV irradiation remained stable for up to 15 days in darkness when stored at room and refrigeration temperatures. The results showed that RCF can be used as an alternative UV dosimeter.
