Skin optical properties in the obese and their relation to body mass index: a review

Significance: Obesity is a worldwide epidemic contributing directly to several cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Wearable devices are becoming better at quantifying biomarkers relevant for the management of health and fitness. Unfortunately, both anecdotal evidence and recent studies indicate that some wearables have higher levels of error when utilized by populations with darker skin tones and high body mass index (BMI). There is an urgent need for a better evaluation of the limits of wearable health technologies when used by obese individuals. Aims: (1) To review the current know-how on changes due to obesity in the skin epidermis, dermis, and subcutis that could affect the skin optical properties; (2) for the green wavelength range, to evaluate the difference in absorption and scattering coefficients from the abdominal skin between individuals with and without elevated BMI. The changes include alterations in layer thickness and cell size, as well as significant differences in chromophores and scatterer content, e.g., water, hemoglobin, collagen, and lipids. Approach: We have summarized literature pertaining to changes in skin and its components in obesity and report the results of our search using articles published between years 1971 and 2020. A linear model was used to demonstrate the absorption and reduced scattering coefficient of the abdominal skin of individuals with and without elevated BMI in the green wavelength range (530 to 550 nm) that is typically found in most wearables. Results: The general trends indicate a decrease in absorption for both dermis and subcutis and an increase in reduced scattering for both epidermis and dermis. At 544-nm wavelength, a typical wavelength used for photoplethysmography (PPG), the absorption coefficient’s relative percentage difference between high and low BMI skin, was 49% in the subcutis, 19% in the dermis, and negligible in the epidermis, whereas the reduced scattering coefficient relative difference was 21%, 29%, and 165% respectively. Conclusions: These findings suggest that there could be significant errors in the output of optical devices used for monitoring health and fitness if changes due to obesity are not accounted for in their design.

Histological analysis with white light microscopy of few micron-thick sections of tissue remains a gold standard for tissue biopsy. However, this approach requires a cumbersome multi-step preparation of the sample and relies heavily on the skills of a pathologist. In general, any tissue pathology (e.g. inflammation, fibrosis, cancer) affects the constituents of tissue and changes both optical properties of cells and extracellular matrix. We suggest using the images of transmittance, retardance and depolarization of unstained tissue samples, acquired with the Mueller microscopy, as an input data for automated diagnostic image segmentation. The potential of combining polarimetric data with non-linear microscopy data, such as Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) and Two Photon Emission Fluorescence (TPEF), is also explored for the diagnostic of tissue specific components (e. g. collagen, elastin). The unstained histological cuts of full thickness skin equivalents and cervical tissue of mouse were used for multi-modal microscopy imaging. First, the statistical approach was tested for a segmentation of the images of artificial skin using the images of retardance, depolarization, and transmitted unpolarized intensity. The algorithm of density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) clearly discriminates the regions of dermal and epidermal layers of skin cuts. The same approach was tested on the extended set of data including polarimetric, SHG and TPEF images of the histological cuts of mouse uterine cervix. The typical circumferential arrangement of collagen fibers around the cervical os as well as elastin lining of the internal cavities was observed on the segmented images. Merging polarimetric data with SHG data makes clear the appearance of fine structures in the cervical os region. The work is ongoing on testing different data post-processing algorithms for increasing both contrast and accuracy of tissue image segmentation, thus, paving the way for the digital histology for tissue diagnostic.

Optical phantoms for biomedical polarimetry: a review

Calibration, quantification, and standardization of the polarimetric instrumentation, as well as interpretation and understanding of the obtained data, require the development and use of well-calibrated phantoms and standards. We reviewed the status of tissue phantoms for a variety of applications in polarimetry; more than 500 papers are considered. We divided the phantoms into five groups according to their origin (biological/nonbiological) and fundamental polarimetric properties of retardation, depolarization, and diattenuation. We found that, while biological media are generally depolarizing, retarding, and diattenuating, only one of all the phantoms reviewed incorporated all these properties, and few considered at least combined retardation and depolarization. Samples derived from biological tissue, such as tendon and muscle, remain extremely popular to quickly ascertain a polarimetric system, but do not provide quantifiable results aside from relative direction of their principal optical axis. Microspheres suspensions are the most utilized phantoms for depolarization, and combined with theoretical models can offer true quantification of depolarization or degree of polarization. There is a real paucity of birefringent phantoms despite the retardance being one of the most interesting parameters measurable with polarization techniques. Therefore, future work should be directed at generating truly reliable and repeatable phantoms for this metric determination. Diattenuating phantoms are rare and application-specific. Given that diattenuation is considered to be low in most biological tissues, the lack of such phantoms is seen as less problematic. The heterogeneity of the phantoms reviewed points to a critical need for standardization in this field. Ultimately, all research groups involved in polarimetric studies and instruments development would benefit from sharing a limited set of standardized polarimetric phantoms, as is done earlier in the round robin investigations in ellipsometry.
