Abstract

The optical coefficients (μ_s, μ_a, μ'_s and g)of human cancerous and normal prostate tissues were investigated and compared in the spectral range of 750nm - 860 nm. The fractal dimensional parameters including fractal dimension (D_f), cutoff diameter (d_max) and the most efficient diameter (d_m) between the cancerous and normal prostate tissues were determined based on the extinction and diffusion reflection intensity measurements and the determination ofμ_s, μ_a, μ'_s and g. The results are in good agreement with prostate cancer evolution defined by Gleason Grades. The difference of fractal dimensional parameters and optic
