چکیده

In this paper, we study anisotropic scattering and light propagation models applicable to diffuse optical tomography. We propose a model for anisotropic scattering in the radiative transfer framework and derive the corresponding anisotropic diffusion model. To verify the anisotropic diffusion model, we consider the case of a simple anisotropic scattering model also presentable within the diffusion approximation. For numerical computations, we present a three-dimensional (3D) anisotropic Monte Carlo model and 2D finite element and boundary element solutions of the anisotropic diffusion model, and compare the results of the simulations.

Investigation of Natural Convection in a Vertical Cavity Filled with a Anisotropic Porous Media

In present paper, a numerical analysis for a rectangular cavity filled with a anisotropic porous media has been studied. It is assumed that the horizontal walls are adiabatic and impermeable, while the side walls of the cavity are maintained at constant temperatures and concentrations. The buoyancy force that induced the fluid motion are assumed to be cooperative. In the two extreme cases o...

Telecentric suppression of diffuse light in imaging of highly anisotropic scattering media.

The telecentric lens, which was originally used in the machine vision industry, has often been utilized in biomedical imaging systems due to its commonly known properties, such as large transverse field of view, constant magnification, and long working distance. However, its potential advantages in optical imaging of biological tissue, which is highly diffusive, have not been fully explored. We...

Scaling Anisotropic Scattering in Radiative Transfer in Three-dimensional N O N H O M O G E N E O U S Media

Radiative heat transfer in three-dimensional nonhomogeneous participating medium was investigated by using REM 2 method. The anisotropic scattering phase function was dealt with the scaling technique based on delta function approximation. The three-dimensional scaled isotropic results were compared with the published anisotropic scattering computations. A good agreement between the scaled isotr...
