Diffusion of light in turbid material

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

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 usefulness and limitations of various techniques. First, we review the transport theory, radiance, radiant energy fluence rate, phase functions, boundary conditions, and measurement techniques. We then discuss the first-order solution, multiple scattering, diffusion approximation, and their limitations. The plane wave, spherical wave, beam wave, and pulse wave excitations are discussed followed by a brief review of the surface scattering effects due to rough interfaces.
