Knowledge of tissue optical properties, in particular the absorption μa and the reduced
scattering coefficient μ s′, is required for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in which …

Reduced scattering and absorption coefficients of piglet head were measured in-vivo by
analyzing the observed temporal responses based on the diffusion theory. The reduced …

Optical properties of different human tissues in vitro have been evaluated by measuring
extinction and absorption coefficients at 635-and 515-nm wavelengths and a scattering …

Abstract Knowledge of the optical absorption and scattering properties of tissues is required
to calculate the spatial distribution of light in vivo for applications such as photodynamic …

Two methods for measuring the optical properties of tissue, ie reduced scattering and
absorption coefficient, were developed. The first one was designed for in vitro investigations …

The spatial variation in reflectance such as the blood-vessel pattern can be observed in the
image of cerebral cortex. This spatial variation is mainly caused by the difference in …

This paper describes the relationship between the ultrastructure of biological tissues and the
observed macroscopic optical scattering properties. A summary of the tissue absorption …

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 …

The time spectrum of photons diffusely reflected from a turbid medium such as tissue
following a short incident light pulse depends on the optical absorption and scattering …

Tissue inhomogeneity is often neglected in the analysis of the spectral data collected in
tissues. We have measured the absorption and reduced scattering spectra of the human …
