A review of reported tissue optical properties summarizes the wavelength-dependent
behavior of scattering and absorption. Formulae are presented for generating the optical …

A survey of the literature is presented that provides an analysis of the optical properties of
human skin, with particular regard to their applications in medicine. Included is a description …

Soon after the invention of the pulsed ruby laser by Maiman in 1960, investigators were
eager to examine the potential of pulsed laser radiation for medical applications. It was …

The optical properties of human skin, subcutaneous adipose tissue and human mucosa
were measured in the wavelength range 400–2000 nm. The measurements were carried out …

Until recently, the primary focus of photobiology has centered on the impact of UV radiation
on skin health, including DNA damage and oncogenesis; however, the significant effects of …

▪ Abstract The interaction of light within tissue has been used to recognize disease since the
mid-1800s. The recent developments of small light sources, detectors, and fiber optic probes …

Diffuse reflectance spectra were collected from adenomatous colon polyps (cancer
precursors) and normal colonic mucosa of patients undergoing colonoscopy. We analyzed …

Background & Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the potential of 3 spectroscopic
techniques (fluorescence, reflectance, and light-scattering spectroscopy) individually and in …

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 …

Frequent determination of glucose concentrations in diabetic patients is an important tool for
diabetes management. This requires repetitive lancing and finger bleeding. Use of …
