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

Kubelka–Munk (KM) theory is a phenomenological light transport theory that provides
analytical expressions for reflectance and transmittance of diffusive substrates such as …

A diffuse reflectance spectroscopy system was modified as a step towards miniaturization
and spectral imaging of tissue absorption and scattering. The modified system uses a …

The noninvasive measurement of variations in absorption that are due to changes in
concentrations of biochemically relevant compounds in tissue is important in many clinical …

Diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy for measurement of the absorption and scattering
coefficients of biological tissue produces reliable results for wavelengths from 650 to 1050 …

Light propagation models often simplify the interface between the optical fiber probe tip and
tissue to a laterally uniform boundary with mismatched refractive indices. Such simplification …

We present a new variant of a noncontact, oblique incidence spatially resolved reflectance
setup. The continuously variable source detector separation enables adaptation to high and …

We present a Monte Carlo lookup table (MCLUT)-based inverse model for extracting optical
properties from tissue-simulating phantoms. This model is valid for close source-detector …

A finite element reconstruction algorithm for optical data based on a diffusion equation
approximation is presented. A frequency domain approach is adopted and a unified …

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, which has been demonstrated as a noninvasive diagnostic
technique, relies on quantitative models for extracting optical property values from turbid …
