Abstract
An innovative rigorous analysis of tissue fluorescence is presented ba sed on electromagnetic theory. Tissue fluorescence has been approached as an inelastic scattering phenomenon via the formulation of the pola rization vector of the medium. The general method described has been a pplied to a tissue model, where tissue is represented as a single, hom ogeneous, infinitely thick, dielectric layer, under plane wave excitat ion. Experiments using tissue-phantoms have been performed in order to validate our fully evaluated theoretical results.
