Source-1 Detector-1 Detector-2 Fat photon path Muscle GHz Frequencies MHz Frequencies 760 850 980 Spectroscopy • Absorption and scattering parameters of tissue are different with different wavelength of light. • Frequency domain photon migration (FDPM) is used to extract optical properties of tissue(absorption and scattering). • Photon penetrates tissue and penetration depth depends on modulation frequency. • Tissue is multi-layer constructure, so multi-frequency should be used for better spatial resolution.
