A model based upon steady‐state diffusion theory which describes the radial dependence
of diffuse reflectance of light from tissues is developed. This model incorporates a photon …

The authors report a novel application of a neural network to perform curve fitting to
simulated experimental data, obviating the need for lengthy non-linear least-squares fitting …

Using spatially resolved, steady state diffuse reflectometry, a directional dependence was
found in the propagation of visible and near infrared light through human skin in vivo. The …

Most instruments used to measure tissue optical properties noninvasively employ data-analysis
algorithms that rely on the simplifying assumption that the tissue is semi-infinite and …

The purpose of this paper is to present a hypothesis. The hypothesis presented is based on
circumstantial evidence and inferential reasoning, as all hypotheses are, and it is testable, …

The photodynamic threshold dose in normal rat liver was determined from the measured
depth of necrosis following surface irradiation. The threshold was determined for the …

We have examined the possibility of determining the optical properties of a two-layer
medium by using a diffusion approximation radiation transport model [Appl. Opt.37, 779 (1998)]. …

Singlet oxygen direct dosimetry and photosensitizer fluorescence photobleaching are being
investigated and applied as dosimetric tools during 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-induced …

Quantifying fluorescent compounds in turbid media such as tissue is made difficult by the
effects of multiple scattering and absorption of the excitation and emission light. The approach …
