A Monte Carlo procedure has been developed to study photon migration through highly
scattering nonhomogeneous media. When two scaling relationships are used, the temporal …

We have combined the Monte Carlo method with the small-angle approximation of the
radiative transfer theory to derive the optical properties (the absorption coefficient, the …

We present the optical measurement techniques used in human skin phantom studies. Their
accuracy and the sources of errors in microscopic parameters' estimation of the produced …

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

The diffusion approximation of the radiative transfer equation is a model used widely to
describe photon migration in highly diffusing media and is an important matter in biological …

We present a new, to our knowledge, method for extracting optical properties from
integrating sphere measurements on thin biological samples. The method is based on …

Optical parameters of biological tissues play an important role in tissue characterization,
including the absorption and scattering coefficients and the anisotropy factor. These …

In this paper, measurements of the optical properties (diffuse reflectance, total and
collimated transmittance) of brain tissues in healthy rats and rats with C6-glioma were …

Artificial media are needed for the calibration of optical diagnostic methods in order to work
on reproducible, stable and well known samples. Since the scattering and absorption …

Considering the increasing use of lasers in neurosurgery and the increasing number of
wavelengths of laser light becoming available, we evaluated optical properties between 200 …
