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

Insertable biosensor systems are medical diagnostic devices with two primary components:
an implantable biosensor within the body and a wearable monitor that can remotely …

Accurate assessment of the size and depth of infiltration is critical for effectively treating and
removing skin cancer, especially melanoma. However, existing methods such as skin biopsy …

Abstract 3D‐bioprinted skin‐mimicking phantoms with skin colors ranging across the
Fitzpatrick scale are reported. These tools can help understand the impact of skin …

Clinical studies have demonstrated that epidermal pigmentation level can affect cerebral
oximetry measurements. To evaluate the robustness of these devices, we have developed a …

The combined use of nonlinear optical microscopy and broadband reflectance techniques to
assess melanin concentration and distribution thickness in vivo over the full range of …

Practical laser speckle contrast analysis systems face a problem of spatial averaging of
speckles, due to the pixel size in the cameras used. Existing practice is to use a system …

Significance: The polymer, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), has been increasingly used to
make tissue simulating phantoms due to its excellent processability, durability, flexibility, and …

Fluorescence imaging has been considered for over a half-century as a modality that could
assist surgical guidance and visualization. The administration of fluorescent molecules with …

We present the optical measurement techniques used in human skin phantom studies. Their
accuracy and the sources of errors in microscopic parameters' estimation of the produced …
