The in vitro optical properties of slices of human brain tissue were measured. The
experiments were performed with an integrating sphere and covered the wavelength range …

A review of reported tissue optical properties summarizes the wavelength-dependent
behavior of scattering and absorption. Formulae are presented for generating the optical …

Our research is aimed at the development of a frequency-domain instrument for conducting
non-invasive, real-time, near-infrared, optical tomography of tissue in vivo. Our goal is to …

This paper describes a convenient and quick method to determine the reduced scattering
coefficient (mu) s' and absorption coefficient (mu) a by fitting a theoretical equation to a …

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

Near IR time resolved spectroscopy has been studied for quantitative determination of
absorbance in highly scattering medium such as tissue. When a very narrow optical pulse is …

This paper reviews the studies of photon migration in biological tissues and its application to
optical tomography which were conducted in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of …

We measured the optical properties of muscular tissue using several methods. Collimated
transmission measurements of thin slabs showed spatial anisotropy of the scattering …

The development of diagnostic and therapeutic photomedicine has generated a need to
determine the optical properties of tissues in the UV, visible and infrared regions of the …

For many clinical light applications, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), the therapeutic
effect strongly depends on the light dose in a certain tissue depth. A measure for the …
