Title: Innovations by Shuoming Zhou in Optical Imaging Systems
Introduction
Shuoming Zhou is an accomplished inventor based in Cupertino, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of optical imaging systems, holding a total of 4 patents. His work focuses on developing advanced technologies that enhance the understanding of physiological media through innovative imaging techniques.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a self-calibrating optical imaging system. This invention relates to methods for providing images of two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional distributions of properties of chromophores in various physiological media. The system includes a wave source, a wave detector, a signal analyzer, a signal processor, and an image processor. The signal analyzer receives output signals from the wave detector and analyzes their amplitudes to select points with similar amplitudes. The signal processor then calculates a baseline corresponding to a representative amplitude, providing a self-calibrated output signal. The image processor constructs images of the distribution of chromophores based on these self-calibrated signals.
Another notable patent is for a system and method for absolute oxygen saturation. This invention involves an apparatus and method for obtaining absolute values of concentrations of chromophores in a medium. The optical system includes a body, a source module, a detector module, and a processing module. The processing module determines absolute values of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobins and their ratios through a series of wave equations, eliminating source-dependent and detector-dependent parameters to achieve accurate results.
