Abstract

Light propagation into human skin tissue is studied by using Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) with the multi-layered skin tissue model. In this study, we analyzed light propagation in various internal conditions of skin tissue by calculating photon fluence based on Monte Carlo simulation. And we examined a method for quantitative evaluation on the depth and spread of light propagation in skin tissue.
