Spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) is a spectroscopic technique that allows for the
non-invasive chemical characterization of diffusely scattering materials, ranging from …

This review describes the diffusion model for light transport in tissues and the medical
applications of diffuse light. Diffuse optics is particularly useful for measurement of tissue …

A thorough understanding of optical properties of biological tissues is critical to effective
treatment planning for therapies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT). In the last two …

This article reviews diffuse optical brain imaging, a technique that employs near-infrared
light to non-invasively probe the brain for changes in parameters relating to brain function …

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is an ongoing medical imaging modality in which tissue is
illuminated by near-infrared light from an array of sources, the multiply-scattered light which …

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 …

This paper extends our work on applying the Finite Element Method (FEM) to the
propagation of light in tissue. We address herein the topics of boundary conditions and …

Intended for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in biophysics,
physiology, medical physics, cell biology, and biomedical engineering, this wide-ranging …

Understanding the spatial and depth sensitivity of non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy
(NIRS) measurements to brain tissue–ie, near-infrared neuromonitoring (NIN)–is essential …

A tutorial introduction to diffuse light transport is presented. The basic analytic equations of
time-resolved, steady-state and modulated light transport are introduced. The perturbation …
