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 …

Detection of interactions between light and tissue can be used to characterize the optical
properties of the tissue. The purpose of this paper is to develop an algorithm that determines …

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

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) with a fiber-optic probe can noninvasively quantify
the optical properties of epithelial tissues and has shown the potential as a cost-effective …

Accurate data on in vivo tissue optical properties in the ultraviolet A (UVA) to visible (VIS)
range are needed to elucidate light propagation effects and to aid in identifying safe …

We propose and objectively evaluate an inverse Monte Carlo model for estimation of
absorption and reduced scattering coefficients and similarity parameter γ from spatially …

Diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) provides a powerful tool for fast and noninvasive disease
diagnosis. The ability to leverage DOS to accurately quantify tissue optical parameters …

The sampling depth of light for diffuse reflectance spectroscopy is analyzed both
experimentally and computationally. A Monte Carlo (MC) model was used to investigate the …

When optical fibers are used for delivery and collection of light, two major factors affect the
measurement of collected light: 1) light transport in the medium from the source to the …

A key component of accurate spectroscopic-based cancer diagnostics is the ability to
differentiate spectral variations resulting from epithelial tissue dysplasia. Such measurement …
