Abstract
Interest in lasa ablation of deep seated anthymic foci in myocardium has created the study for the optical properties of myocardiu~l] . With the usc of a Ti:Sapphire laser and intergrating sphere me&ods[2] we have investigated the spectral range of 690-10SOnm of myocardial tissue. Collimated 8s wet1 as diffuse light was transmitted hough bloodless tissue and measurements of the transmission and reflection were made. From these measuremeats the absorption, scattering and r e d u d scattering coefiiecients were determined. A minimum of these pprameters were found to be in the range of 800-84onm.
