An iterative process calculates the absorption and scattering coefficients of tissue from a set of diffuse reflectance measurements made with an optical spectrometer operating in the UV-VIS spectral range. The relationship between measured diffuse reflectance and the absorption and scattering coefficients is modeled using a Monte Carlo simulation.
