| dc.description.abstract | Gel phantoms made of polyacrylamide gel, India ink, and TiO2 were prepared to simulate biological tissues in optical properties. India ink and TiO2were used to imitate the absorption and scattering properties, respectively, of biological tissues. The amounts of absorption and scattering were controlled by varying the concentrations of India ink and TiO2 since India ink is purely absorbing and TiO2 is purely scattering. The oblique incidence reflectometry technique was used to measure the optical properties of our phantoms.[1] The advantages of the TiO2 phantoms include good stability, low cost, and simple preparation. | en |
