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

Gold nanoshell density variation with laser power for induced hyperthermia
Jerry Vera,Yildiz Bayazitoglu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal profile effects of nanoshell density, laser power, and laser arrangement are presented for ideal cases of Nanoshell-assisted photothermal therapy, and an opposing dual-laser approach is presented that mitigates this issue.

Optical coherence tomography
TL;DR: Experimental studies confirmed the ability of intravascular OCT for plaque characterisation and accurate assessment of vascular structures that are close to the luminal surface and further validation of OCT imaging is mandatory.

Apparatus, methods and storage medium for performing polarization-based quadrature demodulation in optical coherence tomography
TL;DR: In this article, the first and second polarizations are controlled to be at least approximately orthogonal to one another to detect quadrature detection of swept source Fourier domain optical coherence tomography.

Co:MgF 2 laser ablation of tissue: effect of wavelength on ablation threshold and thermal damage
TL;DR: The wavelength dependence of the ablation threshold of a variety of tissues has been studied by using a tunable pulsed Co:MgF2 laser to determine how closely it tracks the optical absorption length of water.

A Physical Model of Human Skin and Its Application for Search and Rescue
TL;DR: In this article, a human skin reflectance model in the VIS and NIR was used to create a skin detection algorithm and a skin pigmentation level (skin reflectance at 685nm) estimation algorithm.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
