Abstract

The blood vessels under skin layers are imaged on the basis of diffuse reflection measurement. The diffuse reflectance is defined by a probability density function of optical path-lengths when an absorber is embedded in a medium. Theoretical prediction of the dependence of the diffuse reflection on the depth of the absorber is confirmed by experiments. The possibility of the real-time imaging of blood vessels under skin layers is examined by using a 2D resonant mirror scanner. The potential of the new diffusing light topographic method is shown by experiments.
