ATTIVITA' DI RICERCA: Sintesi dell’attività scientifica

L'attività di ricerca svolta a partire dal periodo di laurea è sia sperimentale che  teorica e si è sviluppata nell'ambito della nella fisica della materia, principalmente nel campo nell’ottica dei tessuti biologici e delle sue applicazioni. L’obiettivo principale delle sue ricerche è indirizzato alla misura e ricostruzione delle proprietà ottiche dei tessuti biologici e in generale di mezzi diffusivi a partire da misure spettroscopiche nel dominio del tempo e nel dominio della continua. Questa attività si inserisce dentro la linea di ricerca “Fotonica della salute” in applicazioni quali ad esempio l’optical functional imaging e l’optical mammography. Nella sue ricerche spiccano anche gli aspetti legati alla modellistica della propagazione della luce attraverso il tessuto biologico che è stata utilizzata in diverse applicazioni sperimentali dell’ottica dei tessuti biologici con speciale attenzione alla misura delle proprietà ottiche del tessuto biologico. In sintesi le sue ricerche si rivolgono alle seguenti tematiche:

1. Modellistica della migrazione fotonica nel tessuto biologico, in mezzi diffusivi e in mezzi torbidi o random.  Il lavoro concerne lo sviluppo di modelli di propagazione della luce, detto anche problema diretto, basati su soluzioni analitiche dell’equazione della diffusione e del trasporto radiativo e su soluzioni numeriche dell'equazione del trasporto radiativo ricostruite con simulazioni Monte Carlo. La modellistica della propagazione è stata usata in applicazioni dell’ottica dei tessuti biologici.
2. Studio del problema inverso. Sono state sviluppate tecniche finalizzate alla ricostruzione delle proprietà ottiche del tessuto biologico e di mezzi diffusivi nel dominio del tempo e nel dominio della continua. Le tecniche sono state utilizzate per ricostruire le proprietà ottiche a partire da dati simulati e da misure sperimentali condotte su “phantom” o su tessuti in vivo.
3. Sviluppo di tecniche di misura per la calibrazione delle proprietà ottiche di mezzi assorberti e diffusivi nel dominio della continua.  Sono state sviluppate diverse tecniche per la calibrazione delle proprietà ottiche di mezzi assorbenti e diffusivi a partire da misure multi-distanza nel dominio della continua. Gli studi fatti sono stati sia teorici che sperimentali e tutte le tecniche sviluppate sono sempre state implementate e validate sperimentalmente.
4. Sviluppo di tecniche di misura per la calibrazione delle proprietà ottiche di mezzi assorbenti diffusivi nel dominio del tempo. Utilizzando sorgenti impulsate e misurando la radiazione riemessa dal mezzo risolta in tempo è possibile ricostruire le proprietà ottiche del mezzo. Diverse tecniche di misura delle proprietà ottiche basate su questo principio sono state sviluppate. Anche in questo caso le tecniche sviluppate sono sempre state implementate e validate sperimentalmente.
5. Sviluppo di phantom ottici per la simulazione delle proprietà ottiche del tessuto biologico. La disponibilità di “phantom” dalle proprietà ottiche calibrate è fondamentale per lo sviluppo di strumentazione ottica per la misura delle proprietà ottiche dei tessuti biologici. Per questo motivi sono stati sviluppati dei mezzi calibrati (“phantom ottici”) in grado di simulare le proprietà ottiche dei tessuti biologici.
6. Misurazioni delle proprietà ottiche del tessuto biologico in vivo e in vitro. Le varie tecniche di misura sviluppate per ricostruire le proprietà ottiche di un mezzo diffusivo sono state applicate per ottenere le proprietà ottiche dei tessuti biologici. Varie campagne di misura in vivo sono state effettuate nel corso di venti anni di attività di ricerca. Conoscere le proprietà ottiche dei tessuti biologici è estremamente rilevante dal punto di vista diagnostico per le applicazioni dell’ottica dei tessuti biologici.
7. Imaging di mezzi diffusivi. L’imaging ottico basato sulla misura di radiazione diffusa è stato applicato ai tessuti biologici con finalità diagnostiche come nel caso della mammografia ottica e dell’imaging funzionale del cervello. Per quanto riguarda l’imaging funzionale del cervello umano tutte le attività del progetto europeo nEUROPt a cui Fabrizio Martelli ha partecipato sono state dedicate a questo scopo.
8.  “Laser doppler flowmetry” e “Diffusion Correlation Spectroscopy”. Sono stati sviluppati nuovi modelli di propagazione della luce per la Laser Doppler Flowmetry e per la Diffusion Correlation Spectroscopy. In particolare è stata ottenuta una soluzione esatta della Transport Correlation Equation e una soluzione migliorata per la Diffusion Correlation Equation. La modellistica proposta è in grado di migliorare le prestazioni sperimentali delle tecniche Laser Doppler Flowmetry e Diffusion Correlation Spectroscopy dedicate a misure di flusso di sangue.
9. Random Laser e applicazioni al tessuto biologico. Di recente è stato iniziato un nuovo settore di ricerca mirato a utilizzare un sensore basato su un random laser nelle applicazioni dell’ottica del tessuto biologico. E’ la prima volta che un sensore con caratteristiche non invasive, di tipo attivo e basato su un random laser, viene sviluppato e sperimentalmente validato.
10. Spettroscopia Raman del tessuto biologico. Di recente è stato iniziato un nuovo settore di ricerca mirato a utilizzare il segnale Raman per fare una spettroscopia Raman nel dominio del tempo del biologico. E’ stato svuluppato un modello “forward” nel dominio del tempo basto su oluzioni dell’equazione della diffusione e una nuova tecnica nel dominio del tempo denominata Frequency Offset Raman Spectroscopy (FORS).

SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY

Fabrizio Martelli’s major research topic is the modelling of light propagation through biological tissues and other diffusive and scattering media. The major target of his activity is the measurement of the optical properties of diffusive media such as biological tissues obtained with inversion procedures designed to retrieve the optical properties from time-resolved and spatially resolved measurements. He has studied the modelling of photon transport with numerical simulations and with analytical theories, i.e., using both Monte Carlo simulations and analytical solutions derived from the diffusion equation or from the radiative transfer equation. He has also conducted many research investigations on the determination of the optical properties of biological tissues by using time-resolved and spatially resolved near-infrared spectroscopic measurements. He has experience on the inverse problem implemented with standard nonlinear regression procedures and with analytical solutions of the diffusion equation. In modelling photon transport, he has obtained forward solvers for Raman diffuse spectroscopy and Fluorescence diffuse spectroscopy. He has contributed to the development of a random laser-based sensor in the applications of biological tissue optics. This is the first time that a sensor with noninvasive, active-type characteristics based on a random laser has been developed and experimentally validated. Further, he has worked on developing several forward solvers for diffusion correlation spectroscopy, transport correlation spectroscopy, laser doppler flowmetry and diffuse imaging applications. And further he has worked on applications of random lasing to obtain information on the optical properties of tissues. Along his activity, his principal contributions have been:

1) The studies on photon migration have produced several exact analytical solutions of the diffusion equation largely used in the biomedical optics community. His first paper published on the solutions of the diffusion equation has received 435 citations (SCOPUS) showing that these solutions are key tools for many applications in biomedical optics. Part of this research is summarized in a monograph published for SPIE dedicated to light propagation through biological tissue. This monograph has been adopted as textbook for PhD students in universities and has reached a large audience since the beginning of 2010 after its publication. In the light of the work produced, Fabrizio Martelli is among the maximum experts in the world on light propagation through diffusive media.

2) The studies on photon migration through diffusive media have inspired the proposal of a new imaging and spectroscopic approach based on measurements at null source-detector distance. The approach has been implemented both theoretically and experimentally opening a new class of imaging systems.

3) First use of an exact solution for a two-layer medium to experimentally retrieve the optical properties of muscle in vivo.

4) Eighth order perturbation theory and many other solutions of the perturbation theory applied to the diffusion equation obtained in several geometries.

5) Calibration of Intralipid 20% and India ink with high accuracy by using CW measurements. This calibration has been fundamental to propose a reference standard for tissue simulating phantom based on Intralipid 20% and India ink for optical spectroscopy. This reference standard, achieved during the nEUROPt project, is widely used in the biomedical optics community, and has generated new research activity on the standardization of the measurement protocols used in biomedical optics.

6) Introduction of the Equivalent Black Volume (EBV) concept for grading different optical perturbations. The EBV is become a standard to classify the intensity of absorbing perturbations and to construct inhomogeneous optical phantoms. This concept has led to the construction of an inhomogeneous reference tissue simulating phantom for optical spectroscopy and imaging.

7) First obtained analytical solution of the correlation transport equation.

8) First obtained analytical solution of the time dependent diffusion equation for the Raman signal. The solution is based on an original approach to account the effect of Raman scattering inside the photon diffusion equation.

9) First evaluation of the optical properties of diffusive media by using a random laser-based sensor.

SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY

Fabrizio Martelli’s major research topic is the modelling of light propagation through biological tissues and other diffusive and scattering media. The major target of his activity is the measurement of the optical properties of diffusive media such as biological tissues obtained with inversion procedures designed to retrieve the optical properties from time-resolved and spatially resolved measurements. He has studied the modelling of photon transport with numerical simulations and with analytical theories, i.e., using both Monte Carlo simulations and analytical solutions derived from the diffusion equation or from the radiative transfer equation. He has also conducted many research investigations on the determination of the optical properties of biological tissues by using time-resolved and spatially resolved near-infrared spectroscopic measurements. He has experience on the inverse problem implemented with standard nonlinear regression procedures and with analytical solutions of the diffusion equation. In modelling photon transport, he has obtained forward solvers for Raman diffuse spectroscopy and Fluorescence diffuse spectroscopy. He has contributed to the development of a random laser-based sensor in the applications of biological tissue optics. This is the first time that a sensor with noninvasive, active-type characteristics based on a random laser has been developed and experimentally validated. Further, he has worked on developing several forward solvers for diffusion correlation spectroscopy, transport correlation spectroscopy, laser doppler flowmetry and diffuse imaging applications. And further he has worked on applications of random lasing to obtain information on the optical properties of tissues. Along his activity, his principal contributions have been:

1) The studies on photon migration have produced several exact analytical solutions of the diffusion equation largely used in the biomedical optics community. His first paper published on the solutions of the diffusion equation has received 435 citations (SCOPUS) showing that these solutions are key tools for many applications in biomedical optics. Part of this research is summarized in a monograph published for SPIE dedicated to light propagation through biological tissue. This monograph has been adopted as textbook for PhD students in universities and has reached a large audience since the beginning of 2010 after its publication. In the light of the work produced, Fabrizio Martelli is among the maximum experts in the world on light propagation through diffusive media.

2) The studies on photon migration through diffusive media have inspired the proposal of a new imaging and spectroscopic approach based on measurements at null source-detector distance. The approach has been implemented both theoretically and experimentally opening a new class of imaging systems.

3) First use of an exact solution for a two-layer medium to experimentally retrieve the optical properties of muscle in vivo.

4) Eighth order perturbation theory and many other solutions of the perturbation theory applied to the diffusion equation obtained in several geometries.

5) Calibration of Intralipid 20% and India ink with high accuracy by using CW measurements. This calibration has been fundamental to propose a reference standard for tissue simulating phantom based on Intralipid 20% and India ink for optical spectroscopy. This reference standard, achieved during the nEUROPt project, is widely used in the biomedical optics community, and has generated new research activity on the standardization of the measurement protocols used in biomedical optics.

6) Introduction of the Equivalent Black Volume (EBV) concept for grading different optical perturbations. The EBV is become a standard to classify the intensity of absorbing perturbations and to construct inhomogeneous optical phantoms. This concept has led to the construction of an inhomogeneous reference tissue simulating phantom for optical spectroscopy and imaging.

7) First obtained analytical solution of the correlation transport equation.

8) First obtained analytical solution of the time dependent diffusion equation for the Raman signal. The solution is based on an original approach to account the effect of Raman scattering inside the photon diffusion equation.

9) First evaluation of the optical properties of diffusive media by using a random laser-based sensor.

SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY

Fabrizio Martelli’s major research topic is the modelling of light propagation through biological tissues and other diffusive and scattering media. The major target of his activity is the measurement of the optical properties of diffusive media such as biological tissues obtained with inversion procedures designed to retrieve the optical properties from time-resolved and spatially resolved measurements. He has studied the modelling of photon transport with numerical simulations and with analytical theories, i.e., using both Monte Carlo simulations and analytical solutions derived from the diffusion equation or from the radiative transfer equation. He has also conducted many research investigations on the determination of the optical properties of biological tissues by using time-resolved and spatially resolved near-infrared spectroscopic measurements. He has experience on the inverse problem implemented with standard nonlinear regression procedures and with analytical solutions of the diffusion equation. In modelling photon transport, he has obtained forward solvers for Raman diffuse spectroscopy and Fluorescence diffuse spectroscopy. He has contributed to the development of a random laser-based sensor in the applications of biological tissue optics. This is the first time that a sensor with noninvasive, active-type characteristics based on a random laser has been developed and experimentally validated. Further, he has worked on developing several forward solvers for diffusion correlation spectroscopy, transport correlation spectroscopy, laser doppler flowmetry and diffuse imaging applications. And further he has worked on applications of random lasing to obtain information on the optical properties of tissues. Along his activity, his principal contributions have been:

1) The studies on photon migration have produced several exact analytical solutions of the diffusion equation largely used in the biomedical optics community. His first paper published on the solutions of the diffusion equation has received 435 citations (SCOPUS) showing that these solutions are key tools for many applications in biomedical optics. Part of this research is summarized in a monograph published for SPIE dedicated to light propagation through biological tissue. This monograph has been adopted as textbook for PhD students in universities and has reached a large audience since the beginning of 2010 after its publication. In the light of the work produced, Fabrizio Martelli is among the maximum experts in the world on light propagation through diffusive media.

2) The studies on photon migration through diffusive media have inspired the proposal of a new imaging and spectroscopic approach based on measurements at null source-detector distance. The approach has been implemented both theoretically and experimentally opening a new class of imaging systems.

3) First use of an exact solution for a two-layer medium to experimentally retrieve the optical properties of muscle in vivo.

4) Eighth order perturbation theory and many other solutions of the perturbation theory applied to the diffusion equation obtained in several geometries.

5) Calibration of Intralipid 20% and India ink with high accuracy by using CW measurements. This calibration has been fundamental to propose a reference standard for tissue simulating phantom based on Intralipid 20% and India ink for optical spectroscopy. This reference standard, achieved during the nEUROPt project, is widely used in the biomedical optics community, and has generated new research activity on the standardization of the measurement protocols used in biomedical optics.

6) Introduction of the Equivalent Black Volume (EBV) concept for grading different optical perturbations. The EBV is become a standard to classify the intensity of absorbing perturbations and to construct inhomogeneous optical phantoms. This concept has led to the construction of an inhomogeneous reference tissue simulating phantom for optical spectroscopy and imaging.

7) First obtained analytical solution of the correlation transport equation.

8) First obtained analytical solution of the time dependent diffusion equation for the Raman signal. The solution is based on an original approach to account the effect of Raman scattering inside the photon diffusion equation.

9) First evaluation of the optical properties of diffusive media by using a random laser-based sensor.
