A review of reported tissue optical properties summarizes the wavelength-dependent
behavior of scattering and absorption. Formulae are presented for generating the optical …

The development of optical methods in modern medicine in the areas of diagnostics,
therapy, and surgery has stimulated the investigation of optical properties of various …

The employment of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) as a method of brain
imaging has increased over the last few years due to its portability, low-cost and robustness …

The optical properties of human skin, subcutaneous adipose tissue and human mucosa
were measured in the wavelength range 400–2000 nm. The measurements were carried out …

Optical properties of the rat head tissues (brain cortex, cranial bone and scalp skin) are
assessed, aiming at transcranial light applications such as optical imaging and …

In recent years, it has been demonstrated that using functional near-infrared spectroscopy
(fNIRS) channels with short separations to explicitly sample extra-cerebral tissues can …

Neural interface technology has made enormous strides in recent years but stimulating
electrodes remain incapable of reliably targeting specific cell types (eg excitatory or …

A thorough understanding of optical properties of biological tissues is critical to effective
treatment planning for therapies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT). In the last two …

Biomedical photonics is defined as the science of harnessing light and other forms of radiant
energy to address problems in medicine and biology. The field has experienced explosive …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and diffuse optical imaging (DOI) are finding widespread
