This review is aimed at presenting the state-of-the-art of time domain (TD) functional near-
infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). We first introduce the physical principles, the basics of …

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

Time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) is based on the detection of single photons
of a periodic light signal, measurement of the detection time of the photons, and the build-up …

We propose a comprehensive protocol for the performance assessment of photon migration
instruments. The protocol has been developed within the European Thematic Network …

The nEUROPt protocol is one of two new protocols developed within the European project
nEUROPt to characterize the performances of time-domain systems for optical imaging of …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an established technique for measuring tissue oxygen
saturation (StO_2), which is of high clinical value. For tissues that have layered structures, it …

We introduce a multi-distance, frequency-domain, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
method to measure the optical coefficients of two-layered media and the thickness of the top …

We have designed a compact dual wavelength (687 nm, 826 nm) multi-channel (16 sources,
8 detectors) medical device for muscle and brain imaging based on time domain functional …

The calibration of optical tissue-simulating phantoms remains an open question in spite of
the many techniques proposed for accurate measurements of optical properties. As a …

We present the experimental implementation and validation of a phantom for diffuse optical
imaging based on totally absorbing objects for which, in the previous paper [J. Biomed. Opt …
