A solid tissue phantom made of agar, Intralipid and black ink is described and characterized.
The preparation procedure is fast and easily implemented with standard laboratory …

Rodent brain is studied to understand the basics of brain function. The activity of cell
populations and networks is commonly recorded in vivo with wide-field optical imaging …

This paper is the second of two reviewing the propagation of electromagnetic radiation of
wavelength 0.25–10 μ m in tissue. This part begins with a discussion of how the …

The heterogeneity of the tissues in a head, especially the low-scattering cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) layer surrounding the brain has previously been shown to strongly affect light …

Matrices are introduced into the transport equation, in order to account for polarization
effects. The necessary transformation of the scattering matrix is carried out by developing its …

The diffusion equation is derived from the ordinary space-time transport equation having a
scattering cross section of the form σ (Ω· Ω^′), Ω and Ω^′ being the azimuth vectors of …

The accuracy of results obtained from the diffusion equation (DE) has been investigated for
the case of an isotropic point source in a homogeneous, weakly absorbing, infinite medium …

Equations have been derived which describe the transport of the Wigner distribution function
in homogeneous and inhomogeneous media. In a weakly inhomogeneous medium, the …

Various characteristics of photon diffusion process in biological tissues are examined for the
following geometries:(1) a semi-infinite homogeneous medium,(2) a homogeneous slab with …

In response to the conference organizer's request, I am presenting a summary of the current
status of medical optical imaging and spectroscopy. This is a topic which is advancing …
