Measurement of tissue optical absorption and (transport) reduced scattering coefficients (mu(a) and mu(s)', respectively) is fundamental to many applications of light in medicine and biology. We report a handheld fiberoptic probe to determine these coefficients by measuring the diffuse reflectance at multiple source-collector distances, which allows for a larger dynamic range than a single source-collector separation. Diffusion theory and a priori knowledge of the spectral shape of mu(a) and mu(s)' are used in a forward model of the diffuse reflectance. The dynamic range and accuracy of this method were evaluated using Monte Carlo simulations, phantom experiments and tissues in vivo.
