A flexible and fast Monte Carlo-based model of diffuse reflectance has been developed for
the extraction of the absorption and scattering properties of turbid media, such as human …

A near infrared spectrometer has been constructed which is capable of performing spatially
resolved diffuse reflectance measurements in the wavelength range of 0.9-1.6 micrometer …

Partial least-squares (PLS) and second-derivative preprocessing were used to obtain
estimates of myoglobin oxygen fractional saturation from diffuse reflectance spectra of …

In a scattering media like living tissue, there have been two lines of critical argument
concerning the effect of optical absorption on the distribution of'the optical pathlength. One is …

The detection of interactions between light and tissue can be used to characterize the optical
properties of the tissue. The development is described of a method that determines optical …

This paper starts with definitions of radiance, fluence (rate) and other quantities that are
important with regard to in vivo light dosimetry. The light distribution in mammalian tissues …

A model based upon steady‐state diffusion theory which describes the radial dependence of
diffuse reflectance of light from tissues is developed. This model incorporates a photon …

We have been able by a Monte Carlo technique to generate the point spread function (PSF)
for light in tissue for a generalized range of tissue characteristics. We have demonstrated …

This paper derives an analytical model for investigating the effect of the distribution of
absorbers upon light attenuation in a scattering medium. Results from this are found to …

We report the use of steady-state diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (SSDRS) to measure the
near-infrared absorption spectrum of liquid phantoms containing human erythrocytes in …
