Selective photothermolysis: precise microsurgery by selective absorption of pulsed radiation
R. Rox Anderson,John A. Parrish +1 more
TL;DR: Hemodynamic, histological, and ultrastructural responses are discussed and a simple, predictive model is presented, showing selective damage to cutaneous microvessels and melanosomes within melanocytes after selectively absorbed optical radiation pulses.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the optical properties of biological tissues
TL;DR: The known optical properties (absorption, scattering, total attenuation, effective attenuation and/or anisotropy coefficients) of various biological tissues at a variety of wavelengths are reviewed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoplethysmography and its application in clinical physiological measurement.
TL;DR: Photoplethysmography is a simple and low-cost optical technique that can be used to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue and is often used non-invasively to make measurements at the skin surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoparticles for photothermal therapies.

TL;DR: The current status of the use of nanoparticles for photothermal treatments is reviewed in detail, paying special attention to the physical mechanisms at the root of the light-to-heat conversion processes.

In Vivo Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy of Human Skin: Melanin Provides Strong Contrast
TL;DR: In vivo confocal microscopy potentially offers dermatologists a diagnostic tool that is instant and entirely non-invasive compared to conventional histopathology.

New contributions to the optics of intensely light-scattering materials.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Gurevic and Judd formulas were derived from the Kubelka-Munk differential equations, and they are exact under the same conditions as in this paper, that is, when the material is perfectly dull and when the light, is perfectly diffused or if it is parallel and hits the specimen under an angle of 60° from normal.

New Contributions to the Optics of Intensely Light-Scattering Materials. Part II: Nonhomogeneous Layers*
TL;DR: It is shown by theory and experiment that reflectance and absorption of a nonhomogeneous specimen depend on the direction of illumination, whereas transmittance does not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoprotection by melanin—a comparison of black and Caucasian skin
TL;DR: The photoprotective role of melanin was evaluated by comparing the transmission of ultraviolet (UV) radiation through skin samples of blacks and Caucasians, using both biologic and spectroscopic techniques as mentioned in this paper.
