Determination of the optical properties of turbid media from a single Monte Carlo simulation.

چکیده
We describe a fast, accurate method for determination of the optical coefficients of 'semi-infinite' and 'infinite' turbid media. For the particular case of time-resolved reflectance from a biological medium, we show that a single Monte Carlo simulation can be used to fit the data and to derive the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients. Tests with independent Monte Carlo simulations showed that the errors in the deduced absorption and reduced scattering coefficients are smaller than 1% and 2%, respectively.

Hybrid model of Monte Carlo simulation and diffusion theory for light reflectance by turbid media.
Light reflectance by semi-infinite turbid media is modeled by a hybrid of Monte Carlo simulation and diffusion theory, which combines the accuracy of Monte Carlo simulation near the source and the speed of diffusion theory distant from the source. For example, when the turbid medium has the following optical properties--absorption coefficient 1 cm-1, scattering coefficient 100 cm-1, anisotropy ...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Photon Diffusion Models Configured in Planar Source Illumination Geometry for Quantifying the Optical Properties of Turbid Media
In this study, we employed the planar source illumination (PSI) geometry to quantify optical properties of turbid media. Delta-P1 and P1 photon diffusion models were utilized to calculate the reflectance in the PSI geometry. The performance of the P1 and Delta-P1 diffusion models was evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation and liquid phantom measurements. Our results revealed that Delta-P1 diffu...
متن کاملPerturbation Monte Carlo methods to solve inverse photon migration problems in heterogeneous tissues.
We introduce a novel and efficient method to provide solutions to inverse photon migration problems in heterogeneous turbid media. The method extracts derivative information from a single Monte Carlo simulation to permit the rapid determination of rates of change in the detected photon signal with respect to perturbations in background tissue optical properties. We then feed this derivative inf...
متن کاملA primary method for determination of optical parameters of turbid samples and application to intralipid between 550 and 1630 nm.
The lack of a primary method for determination of optical parameters remains a significant barrier in optical study of turbid media. We present a complete system of experimental setups and Monte Carlo modeling tools for fast and accurate solution of the inverse problem from the measured signals of homogeneous turbid samples. The calibration of the instrument and validation of the Monte Carlo mo...
متن کاملSpatially varying dynamical properties of turbid media probed with diffusing temporal light correlation
The diffusion of correlation is used to detect, localize, and characterize dynamical and optical spatial inhomogeneities in turbid media and is accurately modeled by a correlation diffusion equation. We demonstrate experimentally and with Monte Carlo simulations that the transport of correlation can be viewed as a correlation wave $analogous to a diffuse photon-density wave [Phys. Today 48, 34 ...
