Abstract
Monte Carlo simulations were performed using Virtual Tissue Simulator (VTS) and Monte Carlo Command Line (MCCL) tools. The target was a tissue model specific to individual participants, including all anatomical components in a finger. The thickness and depth measurements were ascertained using an 18 MHz ultrasound probe. This implementation is proposed as a low-cost and novel method for patient-specific photo-therapy. The optical models of 12 participants are assessed at four wavelengths of interest. The optical interaction with the tissue layers is calculated with 10 6 photons. The absorption, reflection, fluence and transmission are measured and quantified in the experiments.
