Abstract

Some comparison between the results of 3D FEM and 3D Monte Carlo calculations of light propagation inside highly scattering cylindrical optical phantoms are presented. The temporal profiles of transmitted ? Dirac pulses through the cylindrical phantoms have been calculated for different source-detector angles. The comparisons have been carried out in time-domain and for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous cylindrical phantoms; in the latter case some absorbing cylinders were included inside a scattering cylinder. Refractive index mismatch between the phantoms and the surrounding medium was taken into account. Some comparison with experimental results are also shown.
