An experimental method for remitted photon path length measurements in scattering media has been developed and tested on human skin and skin neoplasms, skin phantoms and cell cultures. The photon time-of-flight (PTOF) measurement method was used in this study, where the photon travel time was converted into path length. Remitted light signals were obtained using a picosecond broadband laser and a set of narrowband interference filters in spectral rang 520 – 760 nm. Five different distances of 1, 8, 12, 16 and 20 mm between the source and detector fibers were used. Measurements were performed at different wavelengths and distance combinations; they were taken from human skin and skin malformations, agar-based phantoms with different concentrations of intralipid and hemoglobin, and from cell cultures (DC3F, B16/F10). Parameters related to the remitted photon mean path length will be presented and analyzed.
