## Abstract Predicting the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and Nd: YAG laser coagulation requires knowledge of the light distribution in tumor and surrounding tissue. Therefore, absorption and scattering coefficients and the average cosine of the scattering angle (the anisotropy factor) were

## Abstract ## Background and Objective Laser induced thermotherapy (LITT) is a promising treatment for irresectable liver tumors. For predicting the effects of laser applications and optimizing irradiation planning in LITT, knowledge about light distribution in tissue, optical tissue properties (
The radiative transfer optical properties (absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, and anisotropy of scattering) of slowly heated rat liver have been measured at 1,064 nm. Continuous measurements were made using double-integrating spheres and collimated illumination of the sample for up to 5
