Background For many applications in research, material development and testing, physical
skin models are preferable to the use of human skin, because more reliable and …

A lack of accepted standards and standardized phantoms suitable for the technical
validation of biophotonic instrumentation hinders the reliability and reproducibility of its …

The complex anatomy of internal luminal organs, like bronchioles, poses challenges for
endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT). These challenges include limited …

We present a method, based on a single scattering model, to calculate the attenuation
coefficient of each pixel in optical coherence tomography (OCT) depth profiles. Numerical …

Recent technological developments have resulted in the availability of miniaturised spectral
imaging sensors capable of operating in the multi-(MSI) and hyperspectral imaging (HSI) …

We review the development of phantoms for optical coherence tomography (OCT) designed
to replicate the optical, mechanical and structural properties of a range of tissues. Such …

Current minimally invasive optical techniques for in vivo deep-brain imaging provide a
limited resolution, field of view, and speed. These limitations prohibit direct assessment of …

Tissue-mimicking phantoms are widely used for the calibration, evaluation and
standardisation of medical imaging systems, and for clinical training. For photoacoustic …

Laser speckle flowmetry suffers from a debated quantification of the inverse relation
between decorrelation time (τ c) and blood flow velocity (V), ie 1/τ c= α V. Using a modified …

Background In forensic science, age determination of bloodstains can be crucial in
reconstructing crimes. Upon exiting the body, bloodstains transit from bright red to dark …
