Biomedical optics

simplification of light transport in highly scattering tissue to a diffusion equation, used to recover optical properties from reflectance.

In biomedical optics, photon diffusion approximation refers to simplification of light transport in highly scattering tissue to a diffusion equation, used to recover optical properties from reflectance. This meaning comes from Patterson (1989) in Applied Optics.[1]
