Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for light propagation in tissue is the gold standard for studying
the light propagation in biological tissue and has been used for years. Interaction of photons …

Translating photoacoustic (PA) imaging into clinical setup is a challenge. We report an
integrated PA and ultrasound imaging system by combining the light delivery to the tissue …

Significance: Current open-source Monte Carlo (MC) method implementations for light
propagation modeling are many times tedious to build and require third-party licensed …

We propose and objectively evaluate an inverse Monte Carlo model for estimation of
absorption and reduced scattering coefficients and similarity parameter γ from spatially …

The Monte Carlo (MC) method is one of the most widely used numerical tools to model the
light interaction with tissue. However, due to the low photon collection efficiency and the …

The flexible endoscope is a minimally invasive tool in clinical settings. Conventional
modalities record bright field images that are usually low contrast and report qualitative …

In this work, we revise the preparation procedure and conduct an in depth characterization
of optical properties for the recently proposed silicone-based tissue-mimicking optical …

In this work, we introduce a framework for efficient and accurate Monte Carlo (MC)
simulations of spatially resolved reflectance (SRR) acquired by optical fiber probes that …

This study investigates the relationship between the optical properties of articular cartilage
with its biomechanical parameters. The absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of …

Turbid optical phantoms play a crucial role in validating estimated optical properties across
diverse applications, including medical imaging, surgical guidance, and photodynamic …
