A lack of accepted standards and standardized phantoms suitable for the technical
validation of biophotonic instrumentation hinders the reliability and reproducibility of its …

Optical spectroscopy, imaging, and therapy tissue phantoms must have the scattering and
absorption properties that are characteristic of human tissues, and over the past few …

We present a lookup table (LUT)–based inverse model for determining the optical properties
of turbid media from steady-state diffuse reflectance spectra that is valid for fiber-based …

Abstract Development of epithelial precancer and cancer leads to well-documented
molecular and structural changes in the epithelium. Recently, it has been recognized that …

Monte Carlo simulations and experiments in tissue phantoms were used to empirically
develop an analytical model that characterizes the reflectance spectrum in a turbid medium …

Significance Photoacoustic tomography has emerged as a prominent medical imaging
technique that leverages its hybrid nature to provide deep penetration, high resolution, and …

Despite a number of books on biophotonics imaging for medical diagnostics and therapy,
the field still lacks a comprehensive imaging book that describes state-of-the-art …

Reflectance spectroscopy is a promising technology for detection of epithelial precancer.
Fiber-optic probes that selectively collect scattered light from both the epithelium and the …

Diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) provides a powerful tool for fast and noninvasive disease
diagnosis. The ability to leverage DOS to accurately quantify tissue optical parameters …

A method for estimating the optical properties of two-layered media (such as squamous
epithelial tissue) over a range of wavelengths in the ultraviolet–visible spectrum is proposed …
