A Monte Carlo procedure has been developed to study photon migration through highly
scattering nonhomogeneous media. When two scaling relationships are used, the temporal …

Various characteristics of photon diffusion process in biological tissues are examined for the
following geometries:(1) a semi-infinite homogeneous medium,(2) a homogeneous slab with …

The results of a Monte Carlo study on light propagation in dense turbid media are presented.
The calculations refer to the radiation emerging from a spherical scattering cell containing …

In the field of photon migration in turbid media, different Monte Carlo methods are usually
employed to solve the radiative transfer equation. We consider four different Monte Carlo …

We have investigated the effect of an absorbing object on the time-course and the migration
paths of photons within a highly scattering cylindrical phantom. Experimentally, we injected …

The accuracy of the perturbation model to predict the effect of scattering and absorbing
inhomogeneities on photon migration has been investigated by comparisons with …

We present a two-step Monte Carlo (MC) method that is used to solve the radiative transfer
equation in heterogeneous turbid media. The method exploits the one-to-one …

The statistical estimator concept, created in the nuclear engineering field, has been adapted
to the elaboration of a new and fast semianalytical Monte Carlo numerical simulation for time …

Some statistical relationships relating the optical properties of the diffusing medium to the
first and second moments of the coordinates of the points at which the different scattering …

In our companion paper we presented a model to describe photon migration through a
diffusing slab. The model, developed for a homogeneous slab, is based on the diffusion …
