Table 2.
The seven regions of anatomy used within the MOBY mouse model, Fig. 8, together with chromophore concentrations and scattering properties used. Both the scattering power and amplitude depend on the scattering center size and number density and may reflect variations in tissue composition due to different cellular, organelle, and structural sizes∕densities.
