The optical properties of various biological tissues have been investigated by the
measurement of the maximum intensity M and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the …

A precise method to determine the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of turbid
media from the spatial distribution of light has been developed. It allows in vitro local …

We measured the absorption coefficient and the reduced scattering coefficient of Intralipid
solution and human forearm tissues in vivo by measuring diffuse reflectance with a charge …

In many measurements used for the determination of optical properties of biological tissues,
a detector with a small cone of acceptance is used. Therefore a small part of the …

Light interaction with biological tissue can be described using three parameters: the
scattering and absorption coeffi cients (μs and μa), as well as the anisotropy (g) which …

Abstract Knowledge of the optical properties of tissues can be applied in numerous medical
and scientific fields, including cancer diagnostics and therapy. There are many different …

Non–invasive techniques for the study of human brain function based on changes of the
haemoglobin content or on changes of haemoglobin saturation have recently been …

Wavelength-dependent absorption and scattering properties determine the fluorescence
photon transport in biological tissues and image resolution of optical molecular tomography …

The detection of interactions between light and tissue can be used to characterize the optical
properties of the tissue. The development is described of a method that determines optical …

Time-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy allows for depth-selective determination of
absorption changes in the adult human head that facilitates separation between cerebral …
