    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Computational Modeling
    • Medical Physics

    Background:

    • Accurate simulation of light propagation in biological tissues is crucial for developing optical diagnostic tools.
    • Existing models often lack the capability to handle complex layered structures and time-resolved fluorescence with reabsorption.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate a novel Monte Carlo code for simulating photon migration in bi-layered biological tissues.
    • To demonstrate the code's utility in quantitative optical diagnostics for epithelial tissues and clinical waveguide design.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a Monte Carlo code for time-integrated and time-resolved photon migration simulations, including excitation and fluorescent light propagation with reabsorption.
    • Experimentally validated the code using bi-layered tissue-simulating phantoms, achieving better than 3% agreement.
    • Applied the code to human colonic tissues, comparing in vivo time-resolved fluorescence data and visualizing photon migration in 2D/3D models.

    Main Results:

    • Experimental validation showed excellent agreement (<3%) between simulated and experimental data for photon migration in layered phantoms.
    • Demonstrated the code's capability to analyze clinical waveguide designs for epithelial tissue diagnostics.
    • Presented spatio-temporal visualizations of photon migration and quantitative comparisons with in vivo measurements in colonic tissues.

    Conclusions:

    • The validated Monte Carlo code provides a powerful tool for accurate simulation of light transport in layered turbid media.
    • This computational approach enables the design and optimization of advanced optical diagnostic instruments for clinical applications.
    • The study represents the first validated time-domain, multi-wavelength photon transport model for layered media with these comprehensive capabilities.
