Lecture

Radiative Transport Equation

Description

This lecture covers the Radiative Transport Equation (RTE) in the context of tissue optics, exploring the dualism of light as both an electromagnetic wave and a stream of photons. It delves into the concept of radiance, photon distribution function, and the RTE, explaining how to solve it using numerical techniques like Monte Carlo simulations. The diffusion approximation and Kubelka-Munk theory are discussed as approximations to solve the RTE for different scenarios. The lecture also details the process of Monte Carlo simulations for light transport in turbid media, emphasizing the random sampling of propagation variables and termination criteria for photon packages.
