Abstract

Time-resolved laser tomography is a promising technique for noninvasive laser examination of structure and condition of biotissues. The results of Monte-Carlo simulations discussed in this paper are related with time-resolved laser Doppler tomography of blood transport in the tissues. In this technique the temporal variations of the optical signal carry information about blood transport. By simulating laser light propagation in a human skin model an opportunity for in-depth by selecting the photons with short, medium, and long transit times. As an example a possibility for detection of a small blood vessel embedded in dermis is considered.
