In the excel file (Data Hoese & Dog & Sheep.xlsx) you will find all data obtained from FIT.
DATA ANALYSIS:
		In order to retrieve the optical properties of different phantoms, the absorption coefficient and the reduced scattering coefficient, a model for photon diffusion in turbid homogeneous semi-infinite media was exploited.
		A home-made optimization software, based on Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear least-squares algorithm, was used for adapting the solution of the time-resolved Diffusion Equation, obtained considering extrapolated boundary conditions, to the measured curves, after convolution with the corresponding IRF. 
		During the fitting process, μa and μs′ have been assumed as free parameters, while the time origin was fixed.Subtraction of a constant background has been performed if needed, while the fitting range was adapted to each curve, by considering the limits of 90% and 1% of the peak intensity, on the leading and trailing edge, respectively.
		The concentration of the various chromophores inside the tissue can be extrapolated directly from the optical properties, assuming that these two chromophores make up the majority of the biological tissues. 
That is, the optical parameters and haemoglobin concentrations that have been entered in the tables you will find within the article. 
HORSE:
		in the first sheet, only the data on the optical properties and all the characteristics of the curves that resulted in the associated optical properties are presented.
		in the next 3 sheets, the haemnoglobin concentrations of each site: triceps, gluteus, lungissimus. 
DOG:
		As for dogs, within the sheet named(dog) you will find for each line the optical properties and associated concentrations for each pair of red and IR values. 
SHEEP:
		As for sheep, within the sheet named(sheep) you will find for each line the optical propeities and the concentrations associated with it, for each pair of red and IR values.
