The aim of this work was to improve tissue monitoring with diffuse optics through implementing different analytical methods. Different tissue samples was monitored to determine their optical parameters. Diffuse reflectance and transmittance of the samples were measures using three different experimental setups including single integrating sphere, distant-detector, spatial frequency domain imaging optical setups. Furthermore, the optical parameters were estimated from the experimentally collected measurements using a combination between Kubellka-Munk model and Beer{u2019}s law. This combination made it possible to calculate the whole three optical parameters 2absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient and the anisotropy3 of the examined tissues
