The outcome of light-based therapeutic approaches depends on light propagation in
biological tissues, which is governed by their optical properties. The objective of this study …

Near-infrared (NIR) lasers find applications in neuro-medicine both for diagnostic and
treatment purposes. Penetration depth and profile into neural tissue are critical parameters …

Medical laser applications require knowledge about the optical properties of target tissue. In
this study, the optical properties of selected native and coagulated human brain structures …

Neuro‐oncology surgery would benefit from detailed intraoperative tissue characterization
provided by noncontact, contrast‐agent‐free, noninvasive optical imaging methods. In …

Diagnosis of brain edema is important to manage severe head injuries and diseases, but
there is no method of noninvasive bedside monitoring of brain edema. We speculate that …

The absorption coefficient μ a, the scattering coefficient μ s, and the scattering anisotropy
factor g of porcine liver were studied in vitro using the integrating sphere technique and …

In this study, solid, stable, and cost-effective optical phantoms of scalp–skull, white matter
and grey matter are developed by inverse method. To begin with, to obtain a range of optical …

Optical properties of the rat head tissues (brain cortex, cranial bone and scalp skin) are
assessed, aiming at transcranial light applications such as optical imaging and …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive disease involving the globus pallidus
(GP), which is a gray matter mass, surrounded by white matter deep within the brain. During …

Use of near-infrared (NIR) structured illumination technique has recently received great
interest in biomedical research and clinical studies because of its ability to perform wide …
