Kallepalli, Akhil James, David Richardson, Mark Monte Carlo simulation results for full finger models based on ultrasound image data <div>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. <br></div><div><br></div><div>The optical models of 12 participants are assessed at four wavelengths of interest. The optical interaction with the tissue layers is calculated with 10<sup>6</sup> photons. The absorption, reflection, fluence and transmission are measured and quantified in the experiments. </div> ultrasound imaging;Monte Carlo computer simulations;skin anatomy;chromophores;scattering properties;absorption properties;photon transport;Muscle;Bone;Epidermis;Dermis;tendon;TracePro;Simulation and Modelling;Applied Physics;Human Biophysics;Biological Physics;Medical Physics;Radiology and Organ Imaging 2020-01-20
