Diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy from 500 to 1060 nm by correction for inhomogeneously distributed absorbers

Abstract: Diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy for measurement of the absorption and scattering coefficients of biological tissue produces reliable results for wavelengths from 650 to 1050 nm. Implicitly, this approach assumes homogeneously distributed absorbers. A correction factor is introduced for inhomogeneous distribution of blood concentrated in discrete cylindrical vessels. This factor extends the applicability of diffusion theory to lower wavelengths. We present measurements of in vivo optical properties in the wave… Show more

“…18 Light from a 100᎑W halogen light source is coupled into the sample by means of an optical fiber. Diffuse remitted light from the sample is collected at nine different sourcedetection fiber distances and is coupled into a spectrograph and projected onto a cooled ͑Ϫ35 ºC͒ CCD camera.…”

“…Due to the fact that the diffusion approximation is not applicable, Monte Carlo has been the method of choice. The evaluation of the impact of tissue structure on optical diagnostic methods [16,17] and treatments [18] shows that non-homogeneity has often a non-negligible impact on average transport properties and radiation effects. The effect of macroscopic heterogeneity has also been investigated by means of Monte Carlo methods.…”

“…Both the transmitted light (transmission or transillumination spectroscopy) and the diffusely reflected radiation (reflectance or backscattering spectroscopy) are detected. [179,199,200,203,204,211] techniques. The near IR spectroscopy makes use of the same principles and the same methods of data recording, as the modern optical imaging methods, based on the detection of diffusely scattered light, and in this sense is their direct predecessor.…”
