Absorption spectroscopy in tissue-simulating materials: a theoretical and experimental study of photon paths.
Abstract
A diffusion model of noninvasive absorption spectroscopy was used to determine how the change in signal resulting from a point absorber depends on the position of that absorber relative to the source and detector. This is equivalent to calculating the relative probability that a photon will visit a certain location in tissue before its detection. Experimental mapping of the point-target response in tissue-simulating materials confirmed the …
