Table 1. Absorption and scattering coefficients (mm^-1) measured by various authors at wavelengths corresponding to the skin constituent chromophore spectral peaks. E and E + D represent data taken from the epidermis and epidermis plus dermis respectively; Data from Ref. [65] is at wavelengths shown in the superscript; FST = Fitzpatrick skin-type; *published scattering data converted to reduced scattering where g = 0.84 and is equal to the average g presented in the published data.
