A visible wide field multispectral system for comprehensive imaging of skin chromophores and blood vessels has been implemented, and an inhomogeneous Monte Carlo model of photon migration with randomly distributed blood vessels embedded in dermis has been developed. Predetermined nonlinear transform...
