Light propagation in tissues with forward-peaked and large-angle scattering

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

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 this combination of the forward-peaked and large-angle scattering makes it difficult to solve the radiative transport equation, we present a method to construct approximations to study this problem. The delta–Eddington and Fokker–Planck approximations are special cases of this general framework. Using this approximation method, we derive two new approximations: the Fokker–Planck–Eddington approximation and the generalized Fokker–Planck–Eddington approximation. By computing the transmittance and reflectance of light by a slab we study the performance of these approximations.
