Abstract

The three-dimensional radiative transfer equation is solved for modeling the light propagation in anisotropically scattering semi-infinite media such as biological tissue, considering the effect of internal reflection at the interfaces. The two-dimensional Fourier transform and the modified spherical harmonics method are applied to derive the general solution to the associated homogeneous problem in terms of analytical functions. The obtained solution is used for solving boundary-value problems, which are important for applications in the biomedical optics field. The derived equations are successfully verified by comparisons with Monte Carlo simulations.
