Optical property measurements on blood are influenced by a large variety of factors of both
physical and methodological origin. The aim of this review is to list these factors of influence …

The Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm (MLFMA) for Solving Large-Scale Computational
Electromagnetic Problems provides a detailed and instructional overview of implementing …

Although noninvasive, continuous monitoring of glucose concentration in blood and tissues
is one of the most challenging areas in medicine, a wide range of optical techniques has …

Three Monte Carlo programs were developed which keep track of the status of polarization
of light traveling through mono-disperse solutions of micro-spheres. These programs were …

Numerical simulations of light scattering by a biconcave shaped human red blood cell (RBC)
are carried out using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. A previously …

In this work, a novel methodology based on hyperspectral imagery with enhanced Darkfield
microscopy for probing and characterizing changes in blood cell components was tested …

We studied the influence of shape and secondary, or intercellular, organization on the
absorption and scattering properties of red blood cells to determine whether these …

We used a flow cytometer together with an intensified CCD camera to record spatially
resolved light scattering from micrometer-sized single particles and single oriented particle …

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a widely emerging method to assess vascular health in
humans. The origins of the signal of reflective PPG on peripheral arteries have not been …

Optical clearing agents (OCAs) are substances that temporarily modify tissue's optical
properties, enabling better imaging and light penetration. This study aimed to assess the …
