Abstract

Absorption spectra (${\sim}600$ to 1064 nm) of six tissues in three healthy volunteers were measured by combining dual-slope continuous-wave broadband spectroscopy with self-calibrated frequency-domain measurements of scattering at two wavelengths (690 and 830 nm). The spectral fit with a linear combination of oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin, water, and lipids extinction spectra is improved by a wavelength-independent absorption background. The need to introduce this background is assigned to the inhomogeneous distribution of absorbers in tissue. By using a two-layer model, the relationship between recovered concentrations and their two-layer values was investigated, and the implications for non-invasive tissue spectroscopy are discussed.
