Abstract

Monitoring phase transition in adipose tissue and formation of lipid crystals is important in Cryo-procedures such as cryosurgery or Selective Cryolipolysis (SC). In this work, we exploited a Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) method to monitor the onset of fat freezing/melting. Concurrent measurements using frequency domain NIRS and MR Spectroscopy during cooling/heating were performed on an in vitro porcine skin sample with a thick subcutaneous fat layer in a human MR scanner. The NIRS probe was placed on the skin measuring the average optical scattering of the fatty layer. Two fiber optic temperature probes were inserted in the area of the MRS and NIRS measurements. To further investigate the microscopic features of the phase-transition, an identical cooling/heating procedure was replicated on the same fat tissue while being imaged by Optical Coherence Tomography. The temperature relationships of optical scattering, MRS peak characteristics and OCT reflection intensity were analyzed to find signatures related to the onset of phase transition. The optical scattering in the fatty tissues decreases during the heating and increases by cooling. However, there is an inflexion in the rate of change of the scattering while the phase transition happens in the fatty layer. The methylene fat peaks on the MR Spectrum are also shown to be broadened during the cooling. OCT intensity displays a sharp increase at the transition temperature. The results from multiple samples show two transition points around 5-10 ˚C (cooling) and 15-20 ˚C (heating) through all three methods, demonstrating that adipose tissue phase change can be monitored non-invasively.
