Optimal focus evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation in non-invasive neuroimaging in the second near-infrared window

Adjusting the focal plane through the intact scalp of mice is crucial in novel angiography of cerebral vasculature using quantum dots emitting second near-infrared light at a wavelength of 1100 nm. Reagents were administered through the caudal vein. When we focused 0.4 mm below the scalp surface, ba...
