Abstract

The propagation of light in randomly scattering tissue-like phantoms is pursued with renewed interest with the recent applications of optical techniques in biomedical imaging. The measurement of parameters such as the attenuation coefficient, absorption coefficient and the anisotropy coefficient of tissues and tissue-phantoms is of major interest. In the present study we report on the wavelength dependence of the attenuation characteristics of Intralipid-10%, a clinically used fat emulsion that is often used as a tissue-phantom.
