Biological tissue scatters light mainly in the forward direction where the scattering phase
function has a narrow peak. This peak makes it difficult to solve the radiative transport …

Various characteristics of photon diffusion in turbid biological media are examined.
Applications include the interpretation of data acquired with laser Doppler blood-flow …

We study the propagation of light pulses through scattering media using the time-dependent
radiative transfer equation. A standard discrete-ordinate method is used to solve this …

Improved solutions of the diffusion equation for time-resolved and steady-state spatially
resolved reflectance are investigated for the determination of the optical coefficients of semi …

The Green's function of the steady-state radiative-transport equation is derived in the P_3
approximation for isotropic sources. It is demonstrated that the P_3 approximation models …

We discuss several outstanding theoretical problems in optical diffusion in random media.
Specifically, we discuss which of several diffusion theories most closely approximates exact …

Light propagation in random media can be described under rather general assumptions by
a one-speed linear transport equation (BoLTzmANN-Equation) I, 2. A general solution of this …

We analyse the limits of the diffusion approximation to the time-independent equation of
radiative transfer for homogeneous and heterogeneous biological media. Analytical …

In highly scattering media, light energy fluence rate distributions can be described by
diffusion theory. Boundary conditions, appropriate to the diffusion approximation, are …

We investigated the dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the absorption coefficient by
studying the propagation of light emitted by an isotropic source in an infinitely extended …
