A review of the optical properties of biological tissues
TLDR
The known optical properties (absorption, scattering, total attenuation, effective attenuation and/or anisotropy coefficients) of various biological tissues at a variety of wavelengths are reviewed in this article.Abstract:
The known optical properties (absorption, scattering, total attenuation, effective attenuation, and/or anisotropy coefficients) of various biological tissues at a variety of wavelengths are reviewed. The theoretical foundations for most experimental approaches are outlined. Relations between Kubelka-Munk parameters and transport coefficients are listed. The optical properties of aorta, liver, and muscle at 633 nm are discussed in detail. An extensive bibliography is provided. >read more

Tissue Optical Properties
TL;DR: The development of the optical methods in modern medicine in the areas of diagnostics, surgery, and therapy has stimulated the investigation of optical properties of human tissues, since the performance of optical probing of the tissues depends on the photon propagation and rate distribution within irradiated tissues as mentioned in this paper.

Xiao Guo,Zhouyi Guo,Huajiang Wei,Hongqin Yang,Yonghong He,Shusen Xie,G Y Wu,Xiaoyuan Deng,Qingliang Zhao,L. Q. Li +9 more
TL;DR: The OCT attenuation coefficient method is reported which is a relatively novel and rarely reported methodology to measure the permeability coefficient during the optical skin clearing procedure and indicates 40% propylene glycol solution is more effective than others in the human skin in vivo.

Limited-angle x-ray luminescence tomography: methodology and feasibility study.
TL;DR: The utility of XLT is extended by incorporating a photon propagation model into the reconstruction algorithm in an x-ray limited-angle (LA) geometry, which enables such applications as image-guided surgery, where the ability to resolve lesions at depths of several centimeters can be the key to successful resection.

New contributions to the optics of intensely light-scattering materials.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Gurevic and Judd formulas were derived from the Kubelka-Munk differential equations, and they are exact under the same conditions as in this paper, that is, when the material is perfectly dull and when the light, is perfectly diffused or if it is parallel and hits the specimen under an angle of 60° from normal.

Time resolved reflectance and transmittance for the non-invasive measurement of tissue optical properties.
TL;DR: A simple model is developed, based on the diffusion approximation to radiative transfer theory, which yields analytic expressions for the pulse shape in terms of the interaction coefficients of a homogeneous slab.

The delta-Eddington approximation for radiative flux transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, the delta-Eddington approximation was used to calculate monochromatic radiative fluxes in an absorbing-scattering atmosphere, by combining a Dirac delta function and a two-term approximation, which overcomes the poor accuracy of the Eddington approximation for highly asymmetric phase functions.
