Determination of tissue optical properties is fundamental for application of light in either
therapeutical or diagnostics procedures. In the present work we implemented a spatially …

This document describes a method for measuring the optical properties of scattering and
absorbing materials. The general idea is that you have made careful measurements of the …

Monte Carlo simulations and experiments in tissue phantoms were used to empirically
develop an analytical model that characterizes the reflectance spectrum in a turbid medium …

Single fiber reflectance spectroscopy is a method to noninvasively quantitate tissue
absorption and scattering properties. This study utilizes a Monte Carlo (MC) model to …

A method for estimating the optical properties of two-layered media (such as squamous
epithelial tissue) over a range of wavelengths in the ultraviolet-visible spectrum is proposed …

Reflectance spectroscopy is a promising technology for detection of epithelial precancer.
Fiber-optic probes that selectively collect scattered light from both the epithelium and the …

This paper presents a relationship between the intensity collected by a single fiber
reflectance device (RSF) and the fiber diameter (dfib) and the reduced scattering coefficient …

Fiber-optic probes are widely used in optical spectroscopy of biological tissues and other
turbid media. Only limited information exists, however, on the ways in which the illumination …

If a single optical fiber is used for both delivery and collection of light, two major factors affect
the measurement of collected light:(1) the light transport in the medium that describes the …

A novel, multi-wavelength, fiberoptic system was constructed, evaluated and implemented to
determine internal tissue optical properties at ultraviolet A (UVA) and visible (VIS) …
