Effective attenuation coefficient μ_eff of the Intralipid 1% solution used in the tissue phantom. Values of μ_eff (values ±95% confidence level bounds) estimated from Eq. (4) are compared with previous studies, with the reduced scattering coefficient ${\mu }_{\text{s},\text{m}}^{\prime }$ taken from Ref. 26 and the absorption coefficient μ_a,m approximated by that of water obtained from Ref. 33. All values are in mm⁻¹.
