This document discusses using spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) to quantify drug delivery to brain tissue. SFDI allows calculation of tissue optical properties like absorption and scattering, which can provide physiological information. DRS uses reflectance measurements to determine drug concentrations in tissue over time. The techniques were applied to measure differences in hemoglobin levels and scattering between normal and tumor brain tissue, and to monitor local drug delivery and validate pharmacokinetic models. Challenges include limited drug diffusion into brain and understanding delivery to aid diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors.
