Abstract
Different skin and sub-surface tissues have distinct or unique reflectance pattern which help us differentiate normal and cancerous tissues. Optical means of characterizing tissues have gained importance due to its noninvasive nature. Spectral characteristics of the components provide useful information to identify the components, because different chromophores have different spectroscopic responses to electromagnetic waves of a certain energy band.
