Modeling of Raman-Scattering Signals in Biological Tissues by Direct and Two-Step Approaches

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A search for an effective method of modelling of the Raman-spectroscopy problem in turbid (scattering) media has been performed taking into account the corresponding parameters of the detector and sample volume. A solution of the radiative-transfer equation by Monte-Carlo method underlies the proposed model. Two fundamental approaches to numerical modeling of Raman scattering are considered: the direct transport problem of Rayleigh and Raman photons at each point of the medium and the two-step model, in which a photon flux in the medium is calculated in the first stage, followed by generation of the corresponding number of Raman photons at each point.
