Optical imaging and tomography in tissues can facilitate the quantitative study of several
important chromophores and fluorophores. Several theoretical models have been validated …

The goal of frequency-domain optical absorption spectroscopy is the noninvasive
determination of the absorption coefficient of a specific tissue volume. Since this allows the …

A new non-invasive method to measure the optical properties of biological tissue is
described. This method consists of illuminating the investigated sample with light which is …

Frequency-domain studies of time-dependent light propagation in tissuelike phantoms that
contain optical heterogeneities are described. Specifically the phase shift and amplitude …

New photosensitizers activated by longer wavelengths than 630 nm light used with Photofrin
II are under evaluation by various groups for the treatment of malignancies. Any increase in …

We present a method for the noninvasive determination of the size, position, and optical
properties (absorption and reduced scattering coefficients) of tumors in the human breast …

Recent technological advancements in the photonics industry have spurred real progress
toward the development of clinical functional imaging and surgical and therapeutic systems …

We report measurement of optical transport parameters of normal and malignant (ductal
carcinoma) human breast tissue. A spatially resolved steady-state diffuse reflectance …

Differences in absorption and/or scattering of cancerous and normal skin have the potential
to provide a basis for noninvasive cancer detection. In this study, we have determined and …

Measurement of tissue optical absorption and (transport) reduced scattering coefficients
(μ_a and μ_s', respectively) is fundamental to many applications of light in medicine and …
