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

Femtosecond transillumination tomography in thick tissues
TL;DR: In this paper, diffuse-light time-gated imaging with transillumination optical coherence tomography was proposed to obtain submillimeter-resolution imaging of objects hidden in biological tissue.

Optical properties of normal and carcinomatous bronchial tissue.
TL;DR: The absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, and anisotropy factor were derived from the unscattered transmittance of the sample and the reduced scattering coefficient allow us to simulate photon propagation in normal bronchial and tumoral tissue by using Monte Carlo modeling.

Diffuse optical tomography with a priori anatomical information
TL;DR: This work focuses on improving the spatial resolution and the quantitative accuracy of Diffuse Optical Tomography by using a priori anatomical information specific to unknown image, which leads to improved spatial resolution, quantitative accuracy and faster convergence than standard least squares approach.

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.
