Abstract
We present a new diagnostic method, based on optical measurements in the visible and near-infrared wavelength regime. This method has many advantages over current imaging and biopsy techniques. In order to understand and interpret the results of the measurements, a random-walk on a lattice is used to model photon diffusion in biological tissues. Applications of this method range from medicine (diagnosis of brain function (oxygenation) in neonates and early detection of breast tumors) to food science (non-destructive determination of fat and moisture content in Atlantic Salmon).
