The diffusion approximation of the radiative transfer equation is a model used widely to
describe photon migration in highly diffusing media and is an important matter in biological …

This paper discusses some of the present knowledge of the mathematical techniques used
to describe light diffusion in turbid material such as tissues. Attention will be paid to the …

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 …

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 …

The radiative transport equation gives a complete description of the passage of light through
scattering and absorbing media; its approximate solution is difficult, and an exact solution …

This paper solves the radiative transport equation in a slab using the diffusion approximation
in one-dimension. The absorption and scattering coefficients as well as the first moment of …

In this paper, a coupled radiative transfer equation and diffusion approximation model is
extended for light propagation in turbid medium with low-scattering and non-scattering …

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 …

In this chapter light is principally described as particles with energy hν and velocity c. These
particles are scattered or absorbed by structures in turbid media such as biological tissues …

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