Abstract

We propose a test protocol for the performance assessment of photon migration instruments. The protocol has been developed within the EU Thematic Network “Optical Methods for Medical Diagnosis and Monitoring of Diseases” (MEDPHOT) and is based on five criteria, namely, accuracy, linearity, uncertainty, stability and reproducibility. This protocol was applied to a total of 9 instruments using a set of 32 phantoms covering a wide range of optical properties.
