This work reports the optical properties of porcine pancreatic tissue in the broad wavelength
range of 600–1100 nm. Absorption and reduced scattering coefficients (µ a and µ s′) of the …

Background Photothermal therapies have shown promise for treating pancreatic ductal
adenocarcinoma when they can be applied selectively, but off‐target heating can frustrate …

We present a systematic characterization of the optical properties (µ_a and µ_s') of nine
representative ex vivo porcine tissues over a broadband spectrum (650-1100 nm). We …

The pancreas is a highly important organ, since it produces insulin and prevents the
occurrence of diabetes. Although rare, pancreatic cancer is highly lethal, with a small life …

Current biophotonics methods cover the entire optical spectrum from the deep ultraviolet to
the terahertz. To optimize such methods for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, the …

solarpowered cardiac pacemakers [32, 33], standardization of tissue-mimicking phantoms …

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, one of the leading causes of cancer death in the United States,
has a five-year survival rate of only 4%. Present detection methods do not provide accurate …

The purpose of the present study is to determine the optical properties of normal and
thermally coagulated chicken liver at 720, 740, 770, 810, 825 and 840 nm wavelengths of …

Knowledge of tissue optical properties, in particular the absorption μa and the reduced
scattering coefficient μ s′, is required for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in which …

An empirical model was developed to interpret differences in the experimentally measured
reflectance and fluorescence spectra of freshly excised human pancreatic tissues: normal …
