Realistic deformable phantoms with optical properties of biological tissues for biomedical research applications

A matrix of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) slime phantoms was investigated to replicate the published optical properties of the lung carcinoma and tumorous brain tissues at 630 nm wavelength. The effective attenuation coefficients (µeff) and penetration depths of light in the tissue phantoms were deduce...
