Light Transport in Tissue

Definitions and nomenclature

In this section the nomenclature used in this dissertation is presented. In Section 1.3.1 variables with dimensions are introduced. The next section introduces the albedo and optical thickness. In Section 1.3.3 the phase function is discussed and relations between the Henyey-Greenstein phase function and the delta-Eddington phase function are given. In Section 1.3.4 the transport equation is introduced.
