Non-contact measurement of internal body temperature using subcutaneously implanted diamond microparticles

Biomater Sci. 2021 Oct 26;9(21):7049-7053. doi: 10.1039/d1bm01187a.

Abstract

We constructed a highly sensitive fluorescence wide-field imaging system with a microwave source, implanted fluorescent diamond microparticles ("microdiamonds") subcutaneously into the dorsal skin of a mouse after sacrifice, and demonstrated the feasibility of using optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) to measure internal body temperature in a mammal.
