Abstract

A photodetector selection apparatus and method and a scattering coefficient measurement apparatus and method are provided. The photodetector selection apparatus for measuring a scattering coefficient may include: a light source configured to emit light to a subject; a photodetector array configured to detect the light that is reflected or scattered from the subject and measure a light intensity of the detected light; and a processor configured to select at least one photodetector from a plurality of photodetectors of the photodetector array, based on a change in the measured light intensity of each of the plurality of photodetectors according to a change in a scattering coefficient of the subject, and determine the scattering coefficient of the subject based on the light intensity that is measured by the selected at least one photodetector.
