Absorption and scattering processes in biological tissues are studied through reflectance
spectroscopy in tissue-like phantoms. For this aim, an experimental setup is designed to …

We present the results of diffuse reflectance measurements made on the surface of a tissue-
simulating phantom containing intact human erythrocytes. These measurements indicate …

Diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy for measurement of the absorption and scattering
coefficients of biological tissue produces reliable results for wavelengths from 650 to 1050 …

A method is described for measuring optical properties and deriving chromophore
concentrations from diffuse reflection measurements at the surface of a turbid medium. The …

Spatially resolved reflectance measurements are widely used for determination of the optical
properties of biological media. However, the influence of the phase function on these …

We investigated the relationship between chromophore concentrations in two-layered
scattering media and the apparent chromophore concentrations measured with broadband …

The accurate, quantitative analysis of absorption and scattering properties in tissue is a
central problem in biochemical optics, in particular for the determination of hemoglobin and …

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 …

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy characterizes composition and structure of tissues by
determining their scattering and absorption properties. We have developed in our laboratory …

Time-resolved and spatially resolved measurements of the diffuse reflectance from
biological tissue are two well-established techniques for extracting the reduced scattering …
