The development of noninvasive optical studies necessitates an understanding of the
biological parameters which affect light propagation in soft tissues. In the present report, we …

In this study, the detailed dependence of light scattering on tissue architecture and
intracellular composition has been investigated. Firstly, we simulated the reduced scattering …

The attenuation of light in rabbit liver and striated muscle and in pig brain has been
measured in the wavelength range400–800 nrn. A variable‐wavelength monochromatic …

The purpose of this work was to analyze the contribution of the mitochondria to the optical
properties, ie, light absorption and scattering, of the blood-free rat liver. Firstly, a theoretical …

Recent technological advancements in the photonics industry have spurred real progress
toward the development of clinical functional imaging and surgical and therapeutic systems …

The development of diagnostic and therapeutic photomedicine has generated a need to
determine the optical properties of tissues in the UV, visible and infrared regions of the …

We measured the optical properties of muscular tissue using several methods. Collimated
transmission measurements of thin slabs showed spatial anisotropy of the scattering …

The relative transparency of tissues to near infrared light means that it is possible to
transilluminate intact organs. In the infrared region, oxygen dependent absorptions due to …

The in vitro optical properties of slices of human brain tissue were measured. The
experiments were performed with an integrating sphere and covered the wavelength range …

Abstract Knowledge of the optical absorption and scattering properties of tissues is required
to calculate the spatial distribution of light in vivo for applications such as photodynamic …
