Following more than two decades of effort, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) imaging
of skin was granted codes for reimbursement by the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid …

In recent years, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has gained importance for non-invasive
or minimally invasive diagnostic applications in cancer. This technology is based on …

We present a new method for studying melanin in vivo based on diffuse reflectance
spectroscopy of human skin. We find that the optical absorption spectrum of in vivo melanin …

A review of specific features and methods of optical clearing and related interaction of light
with tissues is presented. Physical and molecular mechanisms of immersion, compression …

Purpose The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the most investigated optical
diagnostic techniques: optical coherence tomography, fluorescence spectrometry …

We present a Monte Carlo lookup table (MCLUT)-based inverse model for extracting optical
properties from tissue-simulating phantoms. This model is valid for close source-detector …

One of the most challenging problems in clinical dermatology is the early detection of
melanoma. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is an added tool to dermoscopy …

Background Several research groups have demonstrated the non‐invasive diagnostic
potential of diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) and laser‐induced fluorescence (LIF) …

The histopathological diagnosis of melanocytic tumors, including malignant melanoma
(hence referred to as melanoma) and benign melanocytic nevi, has been the subject of …

A two-layer Monte Carlo lookup table-based inverse model is validated with two-layered
phantoms across physiologically relevant optical property ranges. Reflectance data for …
