We have simulated diffuse reflectance spectra of skin by assuming a wavelength-
independent scattering coefficient for the different skin tissues and using the known …

The reflectance spectra of the human skin in visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectral region
have been calculated using the Monte Carlo technique, and the specular and internal …

We present results on the retrieval of skin optical properties obtained by fitting of
measurements of the diffuse reflectance of human skin. Reflectance spectra are simulated …

We present a method to determine chromophore concentrations, blood saturation, and
epidermal thickness of human skin from diffuse reflectance spectra. Human skin was …

We have investigated the possibility of determining the optical coefficients of muscle in the
extremities with in vivo time-resolved reflectance measurements using a layered model. A …

The absolute quantified measurement of haemoglobin skin blood saturation from collected
reflectance spectra of the skin is complicated by the fact that the blood content of tissues can …

A three-layered skin model (stratum corneum, epidermis, and dermis) and engineering
formulas for radiative transfer theory are used to study absorption spectra and light …

Noninvasive and real-time analysis of skin properties is useful in a wide variety of
applications. In particular, the quantitative assessment of skin in terms of hemoglobin and …

A nine-layered skin tissue model is newly developed for the Monte Carlo simulation of
spectral reflectance. The derivation of the necessary parameters for each of the nine layers …

Using a spectrophotometer with an internal integrating sphere, the absorption (μ a) and
reduced scattering (μ s′) coefficients of in vitro epidermis were evaluated from reflectance …
