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 …

We show that optical properties of dense biological tissues can be determined from
backscattered power curves measured by a low-coherence reflectometer. Our measurement …

Previous investigation has proved time-resolved spectroscopy to be applicable to
measurement of optical parameters in the human breast. To increase knowledge of these …

Multi diameter single fiber reflectance (MDSFR) spectroscopy is a non-invasive optical
technique based on using multiple fibers of different diameters to determine both the …

We assess typical systematic experimental errors involved in a time‐resolved measurement
as applied to NIR diffuse optical spectroscopy and investigate their effect on the …

The first, to our knowledge, in-vivo broadband spectroscopic characterization of breast
tissue using different interfiber distances as well as transmittance measurements is …

A time-resolved reflectance and transmittance spectrophotometer was developed and used
to evaluate noninvasively and simultaneously the absorption and transport scattering …

Quantitative determination of chromophore concentrations by near infrared spectroscopy
(NIRS) is possible by using the differential pathlength of the detected light, measured …

Monte Carlo simulations illustrate how various absorption and scattering coefficients
(mu/sub a/and mu/sub s/, respectively) influence time-dependent reflectance R (t) from a …

When a picosecond light pulse is incident upon a turbid medium such as tissue, the
temporal distribution of diffusely reflected and transmitted photons depends on the optical …
