The aim is to improve the understanding of how diverging light sources affect the optical properties of whole blood.
Generalized existing photon diffusion theory to include effects of diverging light sources.
Conducted comparisons between the new equation and previous models using experimental data.
Analyzed cuvette geometry to accurately describe the new model parameters.
The new equation produces better results compared to the previous model for cuvette measurements.
Limitations of both the new equation and photon diffusion approximation are acknowledged.
