FDMD

Graphical User Interface

Following is a list of features of FDMD.

The FDMD GUI loads the saved optical data with a frequency-domain system and a file specifying the probe geometry and wavelengths used. It displays graphs of the raw data (intensity, phase and amplitude at all the wavelengths), the average changes of phase and amplitude with distance, the slopes, and the residuals. From these it calculates and displays graphs of absorption and reduced scattering coefficients, the hemoglobin concentration and saturation as a function of time. It plots the average absorption as a function of wavelength against the fitted hemoglobin spectra, or if chosen, against the water absorption spectra. It also plots the average scattering coefficient versus wavelengths and its linear fit.

It also displays all the average data and the standard deviations over any chosen time interval, the results excluding distances or wavelengths, using different concentrations of water, using averaged scattering points to calculate absorption, and results from low pass filtered data. All can be saved in text format.

The GUI also displays calibration measurements to verify the instrument is well calibrated and if needed can recalibrate the data loading different calibration files.
