A diffusion theory model of spatially resolved, steady‐state diffuse reflectance for the noninvasive determination of tissue optical properties in vivo
Abstract
A model based upon steady-state diffusion theory which describes the radial dependence of diffuse reflectance of light from tissues is developed. This model incorporates a photon dipole source in order to satisfy the tissue boundary conditions and is suitable for either refractive index matched or mismatched surfaces. The predictions of the model were compared with Monte Carlo simulations as well as experimental measurements made with tissue …
