Journal ArticleDOI
Predictions and measurements of scattering and absorption over broad wavelength ranges in tissue phantoms.
TL;DR: Measurements made at smaller source detector separations support Mie theory calculations, demonstrating that the sensitivity of elastic scatter measurements to morphological features, such as scatterer size, is enhanced when the distance between the source and detector fibers is small.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraviolet and visible spectroscopies for tissue diagnostics: fluorescence spectroscopy and elastic-scattering spectroscopy
TL;DR: The application of fluorescence Spectroscopy and elastic-scattering spectroscopy, over the ultraviolet-to-visible wavelength range, to minimally invasive medical diagnostics are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of breast cancer using elastic-scattering spectroscopy: preliminary clinical results.

TL;DR: A clinical study designed to test elastic-scattering spectroscopy, mediated by fiberoptic probes, for three specific clinical applications in breast-tissue diagnosis and preliminary results from in vivo measurements on 31 women are encouraging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectroscopic diagnosis of bladder cancer with elastic light scattering
Judith R. Mourant,Irving J. Bigio,James D. Boyer,Richard L. Conn,Tamara M. Johnson,Tsutomu Shimada +5 more
TL;DR: The goal of this study was to evaluate elastic scatter measurements as a tool for diagnosing bladder cancer by making in vivo measurements with the optical biopsy system developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of particle size and concentration on the diffuse backscattering of polarized light from tissue phantoms and biological cell suspensions.
TL;DR: Experiments on polystyrene-sphere and Intralipid suspensions demonstrate that the radial and azimuthal variations of the observed pattern depend on the concentration, size, and anisotropy factor g of the particles that constitute the scattering medium.
