Dependence of light scattering profile in tissue on blood vessel diameter and distribution: a computer simulation study

Abstract: Most methods for measuring light-tissue interactions focus on the volume reflectance while very few measure the transmission. We investigate both diffusion reflection and diffuse transmission at all exit angles to receive the full scattering profile. We also investigate the influence of blood vessel diameter on the scattering profile of a circular tissue. The photon propagation path at a wavelength of 850 nm is calculated from the absorption and scattering constants via Monte Carlo simulation. Several simulati… Show more

“…As expected, as tissue diameter increases, so does the value of the isobaric point. In order to facilitate the presentation and to compare it to known results from the literature, 9,18 Figures 4(a), 4(b), and 4(c) present the average fraction of the reflected (squares) and forward transmitted photons (diamonds), respectively, versus scattering coefficients, for several tissue diameters.…”

“…The propagation path of each photon is calculated from the scattering constant, assuming the absorption is negligible. An MC simulation of photon migration within irradiated tissues was built 18 in order to calculate the full scattering profile at all possible exit angles. This simulation is based on the assumption that all photons reaching the tissue begin as ballistic photons.…”

“…We previously presented a full scattering profile simulation of a homogeneous cylindrical tissue [9][10][11], meaning reflection as well as transmission. In this work we present our unique set-up for noninvasive encircled measurements, and the cylindrical tissue-like phantoms that we prepared with different reduced scattering coefficients to mimic different physiological states.…”
