The main idea behind this book is to present a rigorous derivation of the equations that
govern light propagation in highly scattering media, with an emphasis on their applications …

The propagation of photons in media for which the diffusion approximation does not hold is
investigated. To that end simulations are performed with a finite-difference discrete-ordinate …

A tutorial introduction to diffuse light transport is presented. The basic analytic equations of
time-resolved, steady-state and modulated light transport are introduced. The perturbation …

The propagation of light in tissue may be calculated by exact transport theory, or the
approximate diffusion theory, provided the optical properties are known at the source …

Diffusion theory is widely used to describe photon migration in turbid media because it is
simple and, in certain cases, can be accurate to within a few percent. However, it neglects …

Optical Engineering,[2022]| Revison of: Light propagation through biological tissue and …

We study light propagation in biological tissue using the radiative transport equation. The
Green's function is the fundamental solution to the radiative transport equation from which all …

The use of optical radiation in medical physics is important in several fields for both
treatment and diagnosis. In all cases an analytic and computable model of the propagation …

We study light propagation in tissues using the theory of radiative transport. In particular, we
study the case in which there is both forward-peaked and large-angle scattering. Because …

The diffusion approximation to the radiative transport equation applies for light that has
propagated deeply into an optically thick medium, such as biological tissue. It does not …
