The optical penetration depth has been measured in human intracranial tumors. The
penetration depth in highly malignant gliomas is typically twice as large as the penetration …

We demonstrate the capability of differential path-length spectroscopy (DPS) to determine
the local optical properties of tissue in vivo. DPS measurements on bronchial mucosa are …

The use of near-infrared (NIR) measurements of photon migration has been recently
demonstrated for the detection of breast cancer in Europe. Yet the clinical success of this …

Using a spectrophotometer equipped with an internal integrating sphere, the absorption (μa)
and the reduced scattering (μs′) coefficients of ex vivo human colon tissues were …

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

Quantitation of near infrared spectroscopic data in a scattering medium such as tissue
requires knowledge of the optical pathlength in the medium. This can now be estimated …

A technique for measuring broadband near-infrared absorption spectra of turbid media that
uses a combination of frequency-domain (FD) and steady-state (SS) reflectance methods is …

Near-infrared optical techniques for clinical breast cancer screening in humans are rapidly
advancing. Based on the computational inversion of the photon diffusion process through …

The single scattering properties (extinction coefficient and scattering function at small
forward scattering angles) of bovine and swine brain were obtained from transmissometric …

The absorption and transport scattering coefficients of caucasian and negroid dermis,
subdermal fat and muscle have been measured for all wavelengths between 620 and 1000 …
