Fiber optic probes are a key element for biomedical spectroscopic sensing. We review the
use of fiber optic probes for optical spectroscopy, focusing on applications in turbid media …

Diffuse optical imaging probes deep living tissue enabling structural, functional, metabolic,
and molecular imaging. Recently, due to the availability of spatial light modulators, wide …

Local and superficial near-infrared (NIR) optical-property characterization of turbid biological
tissues can be achieved by measurement of spatially resolved diffuse reflectance at small …

Skin is the outer-most tissue of the human body. As a result, people are very aware of, and
very sensitive to, the appearance of their skin. Consequently, skin appearance has been a …

A flexible and fast Monte Carlo-based model of diffuse reflectance has been developed for
the extraction of the absorption and scattering properties of turbid media, such as human …

Light propagation in two-layered turbid media having an infinitely thick second layer is
investigated in the steady-state, frequency, and time domains. A solution of the diffusion …

Although noninvasive, continuous monitoring of glucose concentration in blood and tissues
is one of the most challenging areas in medicine, a wide range of optical techniques has …

The Green's function of the steady-state radiative-transport equation is derived in the P 3
approximation for isotropic sources. It is demonstrated that the P 3 approximation models the …

A fast spectroscopic system for superficial and local determination of the absorption and
scattering properties of tissue (480 to 950 nm) is described. The probe can be used in the …

A hyperspectral imaging system in line scanning mode was used for measuring the
absorption and scattering properties of turbid food materials over the visible and near …
