The role of light in optical systems for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases is considerable. Typical important applications of light include optical measurement techniques.  One of the optical measurement systems of the tissue is diffusion reflectance spectroscopy that has specially noticed as a noninvasive method in the field of medicine.  In this method, light enters and interacts with biological tissue in a non-destructive way and at the time of escape from the tissue, will contain valuable spectral information of each interaction lesion. In this study, we evaluated the surgical wound healing process using reflection-spectroscopy technique. In the other words, changes of optical absorption of oxy- and deoxy-heamoglobine chromophores in the scarring site were evaluated.

Keywords: Reflective Spectroscopy, Surgical Wound, Absorption Coefficient.
