A review of reported tissue optical properties summarizes the wavelength-dependent
behavior of scattering and absorption. Formulae are presented for generating the optical …

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 …

Raman spectroscopy is increasingly commonly used to understand how changes in bone
composition and structure influence tissue-level bone mechanical properties. The …

A thorough understanding of optical properties of biological tissues is critical to effective
treatment planning for therapies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT). In the last two …

Fluorescence sampling of cellular function is widely used in all aspects of biology, allowing
the visualization of cellular and sub-cellular biological processes with spatial resolutions in …

In any optical system, distortions to a propagating wavefront reduce the spatial coherence of
a light field, making it increasingly difficult to obtain the theoretical diffraction-limited spot …

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

This review describes the unique opportunities and challenges for noninvasive optical
mapping of human brain function. Diffuse optical methods offer safe, portable, and radiation …

The development of hybrid optical tomography methods to improve imaging performance
has been suggested over a decade ago and has been experimentally demonstrated in …

Three-dimensional (3D) refractive index (RI) tomography has recently become an exciting
new tool for biological studies. However, its limitation to (1) thin samples resulting from a …
