Coupling 3D Monte Carlo light transport in optically heterogeneous tissues to photoacoustic signal generation

The generation of photoacoustic signals for imaging objects embedded within tissues is dependent on how well light can penetrate to and deposit energy within an optically absorbing object, such as a blood vessel. This report couples a 3D Monte Carlo simulation of light transport to stress wave gener...
