Extinction coefficients of hemoglobin for near-infrared spectroscopy of tissue.

Extinction coefficients of hemoglobin have been studied for five decades by clinical chemists and biochemists, particularly for laboratory spectrophotometric measurements. In the last ten to 15 years, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and imaging for tissue vascular oxygenation, breast tumor detecti...
