This review is aimed at presenting the state-of-the-art of time domain (TD) functional near-
infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). We first introduce the physical principles, the basics of …

Frequency-domain photon migration (FDPM) is a noninvasive optical technique that utilizes
intensity-modulated, near-infrared (NIR) light to quantitatively measure optical properties in …

A lack of accepted standards and standardized phantoms suitable for the technical
validation of biophotonic instrumentation hinders the reliability and reproducibility of its …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an optical technique that can measure brain tissue
oxygenation and haemodynamics in real-time and at the patient bedside allowing medical …

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 …

Reduction in scattering, high absorption, and spectral features of tissue constituents above
1000 nm could help in gaining higher spatial resolution, penetration depth, and specificity …

We propose a comprehensive protocol for the performance assessment of photon migration
instruments. The protocol has been developed within the European Thematic Network …

In-vivo optical spectroscopy and the determination of tissue absorption and scattering
properties have a central role in the development of novel optical diagnostic and therapeutic …

The objective is derived from the need for a reliable absorption spectrum of lipids for
component analysis of in vivo tissue spectra. NIR in vivo spectroscopy enables to derive the …

Continuous wave (CW) and time-resolved (TRS) near infrared (NIR) reflectance
measurements were carried out on 'Conference'pear fruit. While the absorption coefficient …
