Four different expressions, derived from the diffusion theory or the random walk model, were
used to fit time‐resolved reflectance data for the evaluation of tissue optical properties. The …

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

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

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

We present an in vivo study of the reduced scattering coefficient of normal skin and of
common melanocytic nevi in Caucasian subjects. The spectral shape of the reduced …

We present the optical measurement techniques used in human skin phantom studies. Their
accuracy and the sources of errors in microscopic parameters' estimation of the produced …

While published literature of the optical properties of human skin is prevalent for the visible
region, data are sparse in the ultraviolet and shortwave infrared. Spectral imaging has …

The absorption and transport scattering coefficients of caucasian and negroid dermis,
subdermal fat and muscle have been measured for all wavelengths between 620 and 1000 …

The absorption and transport scattering coefficients of biological tissues determine the radial
dependence of the diffuse reflectance that is due to a point source. A system is described for …

Spectroscopic analysis of scattering media is difficult because the effective path length of the
light is non-trivial to predict when photons are scattered many times. The main area of …
