Cherenkov radiation from electrons passing through human tissue

A method for investigating the optical properties of human tissues is suggested. The method is based on the measurement of Cherenkov radiation produced by relativistic electrons passing through the tissue. Monte-Carlo simulation of visible photon emission and propagation is carried out taking into a...
