Optical fiber technology has significantly bolstered the growth of photonics applications in
basic life sciences research and in biomedical diagnosis, therapy, monitoring, and surgery …

Determination of tissue optical properties is fundamental for application of light in either
therapeutical or diagnostics procedures. In the present work we implemented a spatially …

Fiber photometry is used to monitor signals from fluorescent indicators in genetically-defined
neural populations in behaving animals. Recently, fiber photometry has rapidly expanded …

We describe a method for the preparation of a polyurethane phantom to simulate the optical
properties of biologic tissues at two wavelengths in the visible and near-infrared spectral …

Epidural injection is commonly used to provide intraoperative anesthesia, postoperative and
obstetric analgesia, and to treat acute radicular pain. Identification of the epidural space is …

Polarized light imaging has been used to detect the borders of skin cancer and facilitate
assessment of cancer boundaries. A design for an inexpensive handheld polarized camera …

Highly localized reflectance measurements can be used to directly quantify scatter changes
in tissues. We present a microsampling approach that is used to raster scan tumors to extract …

We present a Monte Carlo method for propagating partially coherent fields through complex
deterministic optical systems. A Gaussian copula is used to synthesize a random source with …

Optical biopsy has been shown to discriminate between normal and diseased tissue with
high sensitivity and specificity. Fiber-optic probe-based spectroscopy systems do not provide …

Improvements in measurement of epithelial tissue optical properties (OPs) in the ultraviolet
and visible (UV–Vis) may lead to enhanced understanding of optical techniques for …
