Abstract
Current femtosecond and picosecond laser technology is used to study forward and backward light scattering and photon migration in biomedical media. One determines, from the pulse transmission experiment using a sensitive streak camera, when the diffusion approximation fails to describe photon migration in tissues, and to study the early-arriving scattered snake photons by temporal gating transillumination technique for improved medical imaging.
