INDIRECT VERSUS DIRECT TECHNIQUES FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF TISSUES
Abstract
Abstract Knowledge of the optical absorption and scattering properties of tissues is required to calculate the spatial distribution of light in vivo for applications such as photodynamic therapy. In many soft tissues in the visible wavelength range the optical albedo is high, the scattering is highly forward peaked, and the mean free path between photon interactions is small. This regime presents severe technical difficulties in measuring the …
