Radiance detection of gold nanorods in deep tissues using porcine phantom

4-cm diameter, 3-cm height porcine phantom mimicking human prostate. Radiance detector in the middle (via urethra), illumination fiber with the spherical diffuser (lit, via rectum). Gold nanorods solution in 2-mm capillary (i.e., the target) at -90-degree angle. Source-detector separation - 15 mm, detector-target separation - 10 mm.
