MCCL Software: Optical Parameters for Varying Skin Tones

[Liban Hussein]

Hello,

My question is regarding MCCL, and if different skin tones are taken into account/are possible to model using the software. I am aware that in many experiments, some absorbing agent might be added to mimic skin pigmentation effects, but am not sure how this translates to MCCL. The goal is to model the effect of skin tone on LSCI similar to this paper which looks at the effects of skin tone for photoacoustic imaging and oximetry (link).

Best,
Liban Hussein

Hi Liban,

We have retired our Google Group and our discussions are now on our GitHub site so the whole team can participate. I copied your discussion here and sent a message to one of our team who can probably help with your question.
