Abstract
This paper deals with the simulation of photon propagation in the maternal abdomen. Authors focused on the light transport, photon trajectory and their radiation in three-layer tissue. The main aim of this study is to observe the behaviour of photon in three-layer tissue. A simulation model has been implemented in Matlab. The photon interaction with tissue was observed. This model was realized for the project aimed to non-invasive pulse oximetry measurement of fetal oxygen saturation in the maternal abdomen. One of the fundamental challenges is to ensure a sufficient penetration depth which covers maternal and fetal tissue. This contribution investigates the photon trajectories and compares the results of specular reflectance, diffuse reflectance, absorbed fraction and transmittance in three-layer tissue with regard to the thickness of the third layer. Simulations have been performed at three depths fetal (2.5, 3.7, 4.9 cm).
