In tissue optics, the assumption that blood is homogeneously distributed in tissue can give
rise to miscalculations because blood is found only in blood vessels. In our paper randomly …

Optical constants of animal and plant tissues were measured over a wide spectral range
using an integrating sphere spectrophotometer. The data were analyzed with two …

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 …

Accurate determination of the optical absorption and scattering properties of biological
tissues is a vital issue in many clinical and biomedical applications. These properties assist …

2 [8, 9, 20–22], different imaging technologies [1–5], the development of batteryless
solarpowered cardiac pacemakers [32, 33], standardization of tissue-mimicking phantoms …

The scattering coefficient, μ s, the anisotropy factor, g, the scattering phase function, p (θ),
and the angular and wavelength dependences of scattering intensity distributions of discrete …

Optical methods for detecting physiological state based on light–tissue interaction are
noninvasive, inexpensive, simplistic, and thus very useful. The blood vessels in human …

By use of the solution of the diffusion equation for cylindrical and spherical geometry, two
fitting procedures for retrieval of the optical properties from time-resolved measurements …

The Monte Carlo-based inverse model of diffuse reflectance described in part I of this pair of
companion papers was applied to the diffuse reflectance spectra of a set of 17 malignant …

We report the measurement of optical transport parameters of pathologically characterized
malignant tissues, normal tissues, and different types of benign tumors of the human breast …
