Optical tomography of turbid media containing diffusive and non-diffusive inclusions: An error modeling approach

Diffuse optical techniques have been extensively employed during the last years to retrieve the optical properties of tissue with and without inclusions. The usual approach is to use the diffusion approximation to the radiative transfer equation. However, if low- or non-diffusive regions are inside the studied volume, the diffusion approximation does not hold and the radiative transfer equation needs to be solved, which is computationally much...
