ABSTRACT: A method
for noninvasive determination of fat and water content in the human body is
examined. A spatially resolved spectroscopy method is used which can record low
intensity near infrared spectra. This novel approach is compared to other
methods for the determination of fat and water content. Monte Carlo simulations
of light propagation in tissue are shown and the production and
characterization of optical phantoms of adipose tissue are investigated.
