Light Transport in Tissue


Conclusions

This chapter presented a method for measuring the optical properties of a tissue using an iteration technique. This technique is shown to calculate optical properties within ten percent of the ``true'' optical properties for all sample thicknesses greater than one optical depth. Measurements of the optical properties of human dermis as a function of wavelength and human aorta during moderate power argon irradiation have also been presented.
