| Abstract | A simple and robust approach to improving image uniformity for transillumination is to surround the imaged tissue with a medium of matching scattering and absorption properties. In this manner, a uniform transillumination image is obtained and the maximum dynamic range is available to examine variations a thin the tissue. When the match between the tissue and immersion medium is good, the human tissue will almost disappear, and the image will only show contrast due to small variations within the tissue. Thus the image shows contrast due to internal variations, which is what one wants, rather than due to tissue contours. A mixture of Ropaque and methylene blue dye are used as a matching immersion medium. Ropaque consists of a suspension of hollow polymer spheres in water. A frequency domain technique is used to measure the absorption and scattering properties of a human hand in vivo and to match the properties of the medium to the hand. With this method, one can independently determine the amount mismatch in absorption and scatter coefficients between the medium and tissue. When the match is good, there is very little difference in optical transmission between tissue and the matching medium; the authors found an RF amplitude decrease of 4% and a phase variation of -0.4 degrees when a fingertip was inserted between the optical fiber bundles in the matching medium. Details of determining the match are reported elsewhere. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
