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 …

Abstract This Focus Review describes the emerging class of near‐infrared (NIR) organic
compounds containing the conjugated polyene, polymethine, and donor–acceptor …

Optical sensing of specific molecular targets and pathways deep inside living mice has
become possible as a result of a number of advances. These include design of …

Optical spectroscopy, imaging, and therapy tissue phantoms must have the scattering and
absorption properties that are characteristic of human tissues, and over the past few …

We review the current state-of-the-art of diffuse optical imaging, which is an emerging
technique for functional imaging of biological tissue. It involves generating images using …

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging clinical studies have been reported in the
literature with six different devices that employ various doses of indocyanine green (ICG) as …

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is an ongoing medical imaging modality in which tissue is
illuminated by near-infrared light from an array of sources, the multiply-scattered light which …

▪ Abstract To advance our understanding of biological processes as they occur in living
animals, imaging strategies have been developed and refined that reveal cellular and …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging functional neuroimaging
technology offering a relatively non-invasive, safe, portable, and low-cost method of indirect …
