Abstract
The resolution power of photon tomography methods is an important characteristic and it is mainly determined by the photon trajectory uncertainty. To estimate this quantity we calculate the root-mean-square deviation of photon trajectories from the mean path, the initial and final space-time points of trajectory being fixed. We apply the Monte-Carlo procedure in order to calculate the photon-travel deviation variance. In this paper we confine ourselves to infinite isotropically scattering media.
