This paper derives an analytical model for investigating the effect of the distribution of
absorbers upon light attenuation in a scattering medium. Results from this are found to …

Previous modeling of near-infrared (NIR) light distribution in models of the adult head
incorporating a clear nonscattering cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) layer have shown the latter to …

In order to quantify near-infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) data on an inhomogeneous medium,
knowledge of the contribution of the various parts of the medium to the total NIRS signal is …

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 …

Adequate modeling of light propagation in a human head is important for quantitative near-
infrared spectroscopy and optical imaging. The presence of a nonscattering cerebrospinal …

Near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a noninvasive optical technique, can measure changes
in hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in brain tissue. Jöbsis first described the in vivo …

In study of the brain, oxygenation changes in the cerebral cortex are of great interest, since
the concentrations of oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin change due to coupling of …

Describes a simple method for measuring the'differential pathlength'of photons in a
scattering medium utilizing the spectral absorption features of water. Determination of this …

Using both experimental and theoretical methods, we examine the contribution of different
parts of the head to near-IR (NIR) signal. Time-resolved spectroscopy is employed to …
