One-way radiative transfer
We introduce the one-way radiative transfer equation (RTE) for modeling the transmission of a light beam incident normally on a slab composed of a uniform forward-peaked scattering medium. Unlike the RTE, which is formulated as a boundary value problem, the one-way RTE is formulated as an initial value problem. Consequently, the one-way RTE is much easier to solve. We discuss the relation of th...
متن کاملThree-dimensional optical tomography with the equation of radiative transfer
We report on the derivation and implementation of the first three-dimensional optical tomographic image reconstruction scheme that is based on the time-independent equation of radiative transfer (ERT) and allows for arbitrarily shaped medium boundaries and arbitrary spatial material distributions. The scheme builds on the concept of model-based iterative image reconstruction, in which a forward...
متن کاملUtilizing the Radiative Transfer Equation in Optical Tomography
We propose a method which utilizes the radiative transfer equation in optical tomography. In this approach, the radiative transfer equation is used as light propagation model in those regions in which the assumptions of the diffusion theory are not valid and the diffusion approximation is used elsewhere. Both the radiative transfer equation and the diffusion approximation are numerically solved...
متن کاملImage Reconstruction for Diffuse Optical Tomography Based on Radiative Transfer Equation
Diffuse optical tomography is a novel molecular imaging technology for small animal studies. Most known reconstruction methods use the diffusion equation (DA) as forward model, although the validation of DA breaks down in certain situations. In this work, we use the radiative transfer equation as forward model which provides an accurate description of the light propagation within biological med...
متن کاملFrequency Domain Optical Tomography Based on the Equation of Radiative Transfer
Optical tomography consists of reconstructing the spatial distribution of absorption and scattering properties of a medium from surface measurements of transmitted light intensities. Mathematically, this problem amounts to parameter identification for the equation of radiative transfer (ERT) with diffusion-type boundary measurements. Because they are posed in the phase-space, radiative transfer...
