Abstract

A device is under development allowing the measurement of light intensity and temperature distributions in tissue. Measurement of these parameters in three dimensions can be achieved in real-time with the use of an especially designed multiplexing system. Preliminary results are reported for the light intensity distribution in liver and a computer analysis gives a value for "∂" the total absorption coefficient.
