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 …

Diffuse optical techniques were used to measure hemodynamics of tissues non-invasively.
Spectroscopy and tomography of the brain, muscle and implanted tumors were carried out in …

While some materials are opaque because they strongly absorb visible light, others, such as
foam, white paint, biological tissue and milk, are opaque because photons traveling within …

We combine two near-infrared diffuse optical techniques to study variations of blood flow,
haemoglobin concentration, and blood oxygen saturation in the functioning rat brain. Diffuse …

Diffuse optics has proven useful for quantitative assessment of tissue oxy-and
deoxyhaemoglobin concentrations and, more recently, for measurement of microvascular …

Optical methods have been used to measure physiological variables for decades, as is
apparent from other chapters in this book. However, the use of diffuse optical light for …

Diffuse optical techniques utilize light in the near infrared spectral range to measure tissue
physiology non-invasively. Based on these measurements, either on average or a three …

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 …

The authors describe the development of diffuse optical imaging (DOI) technologies,
specifically the use of spatial and temporal modulation to control near infrared light …

We review the current state-of-the-art of diffuse optical imaging, which is an emerging
technique for functional imaging of biological tissue. It involves generating images using …
