Monte Carlo Modeling of Photon Propagation Reveals Highly Scattering Coral Tissue
Corals are very efficient at using solar radiation, with photosynthetic quantum efficiencies approaching theoretical limits. Here, we investigated potential mechanisms underlying such outstanding photosynthetic performance through extracting inherent optical properties of the living coral tissue and skeleton in a massive faviid coral. Using Monte Carlo simulations developed for medical tissue o...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of photon scattering in biological tissue models.
Monte Carlo simulation of photon scattering, with and without abnormal tissue placed at various locations in the rectangular, semi-circular and semi-elliptical tissue models, has been carried out. The absorption coefficient of the tissue considered as abnormal is high and its scattering coefficient low compared to that of the control tissue. The placement of the abnormality at various locations...
متن کاملStudy of the Compton scattering effect of soft tissue in PET imaging by Monte Carlo method
Introduction:In PET imaging, one or both of two annihilation photons may change the direction before reaching the detector due to Compton scattering interaction in body. .Methods:This article, a Monte Carlo simulation study, examined the effect of soft tissue on this error.In this work, the PET BiographTM 6 scanner, a simple geometry of soft tissue -including a sphere of soft tissue in center ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Modeling of Dual and Triple Photon Energy Absorptiometry Technique
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a bone disease in which there is a reduction in the amount of bone mineral content leading to an increase in the risk of bone fractures. The affected individuals not only have to go through lots of pain and suffering but this disease also results in high economic costs to the society due to a large number of fractures. A timely and accurate diagnosis of this disea...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Model of Light Propagation in Tissue
The Monte Carlo method is rapidly becoming the model of choice for simulating light transport in tissue. This paper provides all the details necessary for implementation of a Monte Carlo program. Variance reduction schemes that improve the efficiency of the Monte Carlo method are discussed. Analytic expressions facilitating convolution calculations for finite flat and Gaussian beams are include...
