Abstract :
In vivo determination of tissue optical properties (OP) is still a challenging aspect in the field of optical diagnostics. This paper describes the calibration of an optical fiber sensor that uses laser diodes (LD) of different wavelengths for spatially resolved reflectance measurements.
