Effective source term in the diffusion equation for photon transport in turbid media.
The Green's function for the diffusion equation is widely used to describe photon transport in turbid media. We have performed aseries of spectroscopy experiments on a number of uniform turbid media with different optical properties (absorption coefficient in the range 0.03-0.14 cm(-1), reduced scattering coefficient in the range 5-22 cm(-1)). Our experiments have been conducted in the frequenc...
متن کاملPhoton-transport forward model for imaging in turbid media.
A photon-transport forward model for image reconstruction in turbid media is derived that treats weak inhomogeneities through a Born approximation of the Boltzmann radiative transfer equation. This model can conveniently replace the commonly used diffusion approximation in optical tomography. An analytical expression of the background Green's function is obtained from the cumulant solution of t...
متن کاملThe photon transport equation for turbid biological media with spatially varying isotropic refractive index.
Using the principle of energy conservation and laws of geometrical optics, we derive the photon transport equation for turbid biological media with spatially varying isotropic refractive index. We show that when the refractive index is constant, our result reduces to the standard radiative transfer equation and when the medium is lossless and free of scattering to the well known geometrical opt...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Photon Diffusion Models Configured in Planar Source Illumination Geometry for Quantifying the Optical Properties of Turbid Media
In this study, we employed the planar source illumination (PSI) geometry to quantify optical properties of turbid media. Delta-P1 and P1 photon diffusion models were utilized to calculate the reflectance in the PSI geometry. The performance of the P1 and Delta-P1 diffusion models was evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation and liquid phantom measurements. Our results revealed that Delta-P1 diffu...
متن کاملPhoton path distributions in turbid media: applications for imaging
Near-infrared optical tomography is thwarted by the highly scattering nature of light propagation in tissue. We propose a weighted back-projection method to produce a spatial map of an optical parameter which characterizes the investigated medium. We have studied the problem of the choice of the back-projection weight function for the absorption coefficient (μa) and for the reduced scattering c...
