Abstract :
Due to the strong scattering in biological bodies such as mammalian tissues, the optical imaging of internal structure has been difficult. To suppress the effect of scattering, we have developed a technique that makes use of near-axis scattered light (NASL). However, little has been known on the behavior of the NASL in a scattering medium. In this study, the feasibility of the detection of the NASL was tested using a time-resolved measurement technique.
