Simulation of Laser Backscattering System for Imaging of Inhomogeneity/Tumor in Biological Tissues

The interaction of laser radiation with biological tissues within the optical therapeutic window (600-1300nm) is associated with enhanced scattering and less absorption, thus allowing the laser beam to penetrate deeper into the tissues. A fraction of the incident beam after multiple interactions with tissues emerges as backscattered away from the beam entry position, a part of the beam is transmitted, and the remaining part is absorbed within the medium [1,2]. During the development of cancer many processes get activated inside the cells, leading to accelerated cell proliferation, reduced apoptosis and neo-vascularization of the interstitial tissues.
