Table 1. Properties of the media in the tissue volumes used for Monte Carlo simulations at 780 nm. All media are components of lymph node tissue, and assume absorption coefficient µa = 0.3 cm-1, refractive index n = 1.4 and anisotropy factor g = 0.92 [21,22].
Tissue | µs [cm-1] |
---|---|
Average lymph node | 43.0 |
Capsule | 46.1 |
Paracortex | 33.34 |
Medullary sinus | 27.02 |
