A pseudospectral method for solution of the radiative transport equation

Abstract

The radiative transport equation accurately describes light transport in participating media such as biological tissues, though analytic solutions are known only for simple geometries. We present a pseudospectral technique to efficiently compute numerical solutions to the time-dependent transport equation in arbitrary three-dimensional heterogeneous media with anisotropic scattering. Our GPU-accelerated implementation of the technique is validated by comparison with a Monte-Carlo simulation, demonstrating excellent agreement.
