Table 4.
Summary of pleural cavity surface area, volume, diffuse reflectance (Rd), and scattering component (b) for each case study. Optical properties were measured at selected detector sites and Rd was calculated using either equation (4) or equation (5) from (Ong and Zhu 2016).
| Case no. | Area (cm2) | Volume (cm3) | b (mW cm−2) | S (mW) | Rd/(1-Rd), equation (4) | Rd/(1-Rd), equation (5) |
