A thorough understanding of optical properties of biological tissues is critical to effective
treatment planning for therapies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT). In the last two …

The recent developments in time-domain diffuse optics that rely on physical concepts (eg,
time-gating and null distance) and advanced photonic components (eg, vertical cavity …

Time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) is based on the detection of single photons
of a periodic light signal, measurement of the detection time of the photons, and the build-up …

A technique for measuring broadband near-infrared absorption spectra of turbid media that
uses a combination of frequency-domain (FD) and steady-state (SS) reflectance methods is …

We have measured the bulk optical properties of healthy female breast tissues in vivo in the
parallel plate, transmission geometry. Fifty-two volunteers were measured. Blood volume …

The use of near-infrared (NIR) light to interrogate deep tissues has enormous potential for
molecular-based imaging when coupled with NIR excitable dyes. More than a decade has …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Near-infrared (NIR) diffuse optical spectroscopy and
imaging may enhance existing technologies for breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and …

We propose a comprehensive protocol for the performance assessment of photon migration
instruments. The protocol has been developed within the European Thematic Network …

Absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of in-vivo human skin provide critical
information on non-invasive skin diagnoses for aesthetic and clinical purposes. To date, very …

Near infrared diffuse optical spectroscopy and diffuse optical imaging are promising
methods that eventually may enhance or replace existing technologies for breast cancer …
