In this work, inverse diffusion equation and Monte Carlo methods are used in conjunction with diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to develop a protocol for evaluating the chromophore compositions of tissue mimicking liquid phantoms. A novel two spectrometer system is used which provides real time calibration of any intensity fluctuations of the light source. The calibration of this setup is investiga
