Abstract

Spectral reflectance in human skin tissue has been studied through Monte Carlo simulation using the nine-layered skin tissue model. It is important to estimate the penetration depth of detected light affected by absorption and scattering to know the condition of human skin. In this study, we estimated the depth of penetration of photons in the visible wavelength range that propagate inside skin tissue and are detected at different positions in the vicinity of the illuminated area by using Monte Carlo simulation.
