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 …

The absorption and transport scattering coefficients of caucasian and negroid dermis,
subdermal fat and muscle have been measured for all wavelengths between 620 and 1000 …

Near-infrared light propagation in various models of the adult head is analyzed by both time-
of-flight measurements and mathematical prediction. The models consist of three-or four …

A solid tissue phantom made of agar, Intralipid and black ink is described and characterized.
The preparation procedure is fast and easily implemented with standard laboratory …

We present images of heterogeneous turbid media derived from measurements of diffuse
photon-density waves traveling through highly scattering tissue phantoms. To our …

Diffusing photons can be used to detect, localize, and characterize optical and dynamical
spatial inhomogeneities embedded in turbid media. Measurements of the intensity of diffuse …

We present in vivo values for the optical transport coefficients (μ_a, μ_s′) of the adult
human forearm, calf, and head from 760 to 900 nm measured with time-resolved …

We present a regularized Gauss–Newton method for solving the inverse problem of
parameter reconstruction from boundary data in frequency-domain diffuse optical …

Synthetic phantoms are valuable tools for training, research and development in traditional
and computer aided surgery, but complex organs, such as the brain, are difficult to replicate …

Cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) oximetry may help clinicians to improve patient
treatment. However, the application of NIRS oximeters is increasingly causing confusion to …
