Research of optical properties of biotissue on the basis of numeral modeling of photons transport
Abstract
The research of subsurface structures of skin by means of optical radiation has significant advantages com- pared with other techniques. To evaluate these structures, all the existing methods depend on the backscattered photons from tissues. The analysis of the distribution of these photons over the skin and its relative intensity be- comes extremely essential. In this article, we presented a simulation based on Monte Carlo Methods and the opti- cal properties of the skin layers to evaluate the backscattered photons when the skin is irradiated with a narrow beam of laser light.
