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 …

Condensed Monte Carlo simulation results have been used for calculating absorption and
reduced scattering coefficients from the literature data on the measured total transmittance …

In this paper we present the absorption coefficient μa and the isotropic scattering coefficient
μs′ for 22 human skin samples measured using a double integrating sphere apparatus in …

The optical absorption and scattering coefficients have been determined for specimens of
normal and diseased human breast tissues over the range of wavelengths from 500 to 1100 …

The weak absorption of shortwave infrared light by skin tissues between 700 and 1500 nm
offers an important window for diagnosis by optical means. The strong scattering of …

In order to quantify near-infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) data on an inhomogeneous medium,
knowledge of the contribution of the various parts of the medium to the total NIRS signal is …

The results of this study clarify the influence of probe geometry on spectroscopic
measurements obtained from the surface of a turbid biological tissue. We show that the …

Four different expressions, derived from the diffusion theory or the random walk model, were
used to fit time‐resolved reflectance data for the evaluation of tissue optical properties. The …

The increasing application of light in new medical treatments has led to the need for optical
characterization of tissues in order to obtain correct dosimetry. This study presents the …

An efficient method is proposed for the evaluation of the absorption and the transport
scattering coefficients from a time-resolved reflectance or transmittance distribution. The …
