This book piesents an introduction to the fundamental unified theoiies and applications of
wave propagation and scattering in random media It provides a clear picture of how waves …

Welcome to a fascinating field of medical research! Welcome to this fourth edition of “Laser–
Tissue Interactions” which has meanwhile turned into the standard reference book at …

For a physicist, and more generally for a scientist, one of the pleasures in everyday life is to
detect exemplifying manifestations and avatars of the topic he is working on. Why do small …

Knowledge about the optical properties a, s, and g of human blood plays an important role
for many diagnostic and therapeutic applications in laser medicine and medical diagnostics …

This paper introduces a simple model for subsurface light transport in translucent materials.
The model enables efficient simulation of effects that BRDF models cannot capture, such as …

A theory is developed which relates quasi-elastic light scattering measurements to blood
flow in tissue microvasculature. We assume that the tissue matrix surrounding the blood …

Using optical interaction coefficients typical of mammalian soft tissues in the red and near
infrared regions of the spectrum, calculations of fluence-depth distributions, effective …

To allow the determination of scattering and absorption parameters of a turbid material from
reflection measurements the relation of these parameters to the reflection has been …
