Abstract:
Over the last decade, noninvasive or minimally invasive spectroscopy and imaging techniques have witnessed widespread and exciting applications in biomedical diagnostics and therapy. However, most biological tissues strongly scatter the probing light within the visible and near infrared range, i.e., the therapeutic and/or diagnostic optical window. The multiple scattering of light is detrimental to imaging contrast and resolution. This communication is dedicated to introduce multiple scattering effects using the Monte Carlo method for modeling light transport in tissue. This communication discusses internal reflection of a photon at boundaries, shows how the real optical parameters could be used to generate practical scattering results, gives results for validating the Monte Carlo implementation.
