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

Bulk optical properties of healthy female breast tissue.
Turgut Durduran,Regine Choe,Joseph P. Culver,L. Zubkov,Monica J. Holboke,J. Giammarco,Britton Chance,Arjun G. Yodh +7 more
TL;DR: The measurements provide an estimate of the variation of normal breast tissue optical properties in a fairly large population and provide insight about the potential contrasts available for diffuse optical tomography of breast tumours.

Controlling electron trap depth to enhance optical properties of persistent luminescence nanoparticles for in vivo imaging.
Thomas Maldiney,Aurélie Lecointre,Bruno Viana,Aurélie Bessière,Michel Bessodes,Didier Gourier,Cyrille Richard,Daniel Scherman +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) measurements to study the influence of trivalent lanthanide Ln3+ (Ln = Dy, Pr, Ce, Nd) electron traps on the optical properties of Mn2+-doped diopside-based persistent luminecence nanoparticles.

Monte Carlo Modeling of Light Transport in Tissues
Steven L. Jacques,Lihong V. Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Monte Carlo simulations of photon transport in turbid tissues are used to simulate the random walk of photons in a medium that contains absorption and scattering, and the two key decisions are (1) the mean free path for a scattering or absorption event and (2) the scattering angle.

Mie and Rayleigh modeling of visible-light scattering in neonatal skin
TL;DR: The Mie-scattering model predicted an increase in scattering with gestational age on the basis of changes in the collagen-fiber diameters, and this increase was proportional to that measured with the integrating-sphere method.

Non–invasive measurements of breast tissue optical properties using frequency–domain photon migration

TL;DR: Preliminary results of non-invasive FDPM measurements obtained from normal and tumour-containing human breast tissue show that physiological changes caused by the presence of small (about 1 cm diameter) palpable lesions can be detected using a handheld FDPM probe.

The Optics of Human Skin
R. Rox Anderson,John A. Parrish +1 more
TL;DR: An integrated review of the transfer of optical radiation into human skin is presented, aimed at developing useful models for photomedicine.

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.
