We have determined in vivo optical scattering properties of normal human skin in 1734
subjects, mostly with fair skin type, within the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study …

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 …

The vast majority of'non-invasive'measurements of human tissues using near infrared
spectroscopy rely on passing light through the dermis and subdermis of the skin. Accurate …

Methods for local photon path length and optical properties estimation, based on measured
and simulated diffuse reflectance within 2 mm from the light source, are proposed and …

Imaging non-invasively into the human body is currently limited by cost (MRI and CT scan),
image resolution (ultrasound), exposure to ionising radiation (CT scan and X-ray), and the …

We present in vivo values for the optical transport coefficients (μ_a, μ_s′) of the adult
human forearm, calf, and head from 760 to 900 nm measured with time-resolved …

A system that incorporated a laser source and a CCD camera was used to measure spatially-
resolved steady-state diffuse reflectance. Monte Carlo simulations and experiments in tissue …

Most instruments used to measure tissue optical properties noninvasively employ data-
analysis algorithms that rely on the simplifying assumption that the tissue is semi-infinite and …

A survey of the literature is presented that provides an analysis of the optical properties of
human skin, with particular regard to their applications in medicine. Included is a description …

We present results on the retrieval of skin optical properties obtained by fitting of
measurements of the diffuse reflectance of human skin. Reflectance spectra are simulated …
